UCLA's Lauren Betts drops 2-word reaction for her agent in celebration of black women sports agents

UCLA star Lauren Betts lauded her agent, expressing her support for black women sports agents, who are significantly underrepresented in the sports industry. On Monday, Diverse Representation shared a post on Instagram to celebrate the milestone that black women have achieved as sports agents.

"There are less than 100 certified Black women sports agents in the U.S. Yet, Black women sports agents have negotiated over $1B in player contracts," the Instagram post reads.

It also featured pictures of several top athletes and their agents, including WNBA star A'ja Wilson and her agent Jade-Li English, NBA champion Kyrie Irving and Shetellia Riley Irving and Betts with her agent Kailey Edwards.

Lauren Betts reposted her picture with Edwards to her Instagram story, adding a two-word caption.

"My girl," she wrote with a couple of white heart emojis.

Betts signed with Edwards and William Morris Endeavor last October for NIL representation. The senior-to-be center is one of the top players in college, having averaged 20.2 points per game for the UCLA Bruins last season and leading them to a Final Four run.
