Our Legacy is not your average talent agency but a collaborative non-profit corporation that serves the artistic and culture community via mentorship, coaching, free educational seminars, classes and excursions, brand management, development and ideation; event & media production and legal services within the various entertainment industries to serve marginalized, resource-tapped and underrepresented artist and community constituents.
WHO WE ARE
Our Legacy Entertainment Services Organization
We are an international, non-profit collaborative corporation serving underprivileged, under resourced and underserved communities in the arts, sports, and culture. The Entertainment & Sports, Arts & Culture Industries has a BIPOC constituency of 83.3% of that percentage less than 3% are owners, executives or other proprietary leaders within these same industries. We also serve the wider community by bridging cultural communication and exposure gaps between classes, ethnicities, and geographics using the arts and culture as vehicles of knowledge. We serve via talent representation, mentorship, protection of artistic intellectual property, brand development, cultural exchange & immersion, education and global BIPOC community connectivity.
Mission Statement:
To stand on the shoulders of the giants before us and prepare the giants to come.
To be a vehicle for the backbone artists of the Arts, Sports and Entertainment industries to have representation and monetization opportunities commensurate to their contributions.
Objective:
We cater to the marginalized artists that traditionally have had limited access to professional support, business resources, and other tools to fully actualize the potential of their brands for their chief benefit.
We aim to be a bridge that leads to the realization of representation, ownership, proprietorship and leadership of people of color in the sports and entertainment industries so that their value to these industries supersedes mere constituency at the player and pawn level. We want to cultivate Kings and Queens of their own chess boards.
Mentorship:
Millions of dollars are pumped into marginalized communities of color and those dollars are often met with gross ignorance and lack of insight by the community leadership/governance on how to truly serve that community. Similarly, those contributions are often met with ignorance on how to maximize these resources by the community itself due to lack of guidance on how to navigate the basic tenets of independent living.
The Arts and Sports are historically an escapism and areas of natural ability for many persons of color in impoverished and otherwise marginalized communities and the Arts and Sports are often engrained with their respective cultures. Many people who will never enter a college, go to law school, be a doctor, or other “societally approved” career paths have other nonconventional and less-supported abilities in the Arts and Sports.
We believe that having the knowledge, assurance, confidence and resources for those constituents to be able to make a living from their artistic and athletic abilities in a way that positions them for autonomy and provides a myriad of choices in how they monetize those gifts will be the difference in the resorting to lifestyles of crime, drug addiction, mental illness, forced prostitution of other drivers of marginalization in communities of color.
We not only mentor, coach and provide education and business resources to artist and athletes, but for these reasons- to the marginalized communities of color at large.
**We want to extend a special invite to collegiate athletes for our Career in Sports Mentorship program.**
Scope of Collaboration:
We desire to collaborate with other organizations and leaders who have a passion for revitalization of marginalized communities. Who advance positive narratives of people of color in the arts and entertainment industries and who promote independence, financial stability and autonomy for those constituents, making the formation of Legacy feasible and fortified.
Scope of Representation:
We do not CURRENTLY work with entry-level artists.
We focus on artists who have established the basis and foundations as a professional in their field and have a recognizable level of self-investment in their craft.
Most of our clients are professionals who have exhausted their resources and/or need direction to overcome challenges in maximizing and balancing the business and creative productivity necessary to move their brands forward.
Scope of Commissioned Work:
We provide our creative services to artists, production companies and teams, private and not for profit companies and educational institutions.
