| Summary |
Laced with riveting stories and business scenarios, Own The Arena shows that Katrina M. Adams has learned from an early age ways to navigate rooms where she was the only person of color. She was one of the few Black women on the professional circuit, one of several top Black coaches, the first Black commentator on the Tennis Channel, and the former president and CEO of the United States Tennis Association - the only Black woman and the youngest person ever to hold the position. Taking us through a behind-the-scenes look at the leadership skills involved in hosting the US Open, one of the largest and most lucrative sports events in the world, she offers advice on ways to thrive where you are the only woman, the only person of color, or the only Black woman. -- back cover, |
