Simmons and Toler are the two black women who run the WNBA’s most successful franchise. While there are other black women and women of color in leadership positions in the WNBA, the Sparks are the only franchise where black women run both the business and off-the-court operations, and the basketball and on-the-court operations. Both women have have embraced their roles as pioneers in a league that continues to grow.

“There’s not a lot of women of color [in front office positions], and I think that as we continue to develop our players and reflect the communities that we play in, and then also come and show up, I think it’s important that we continue to deliver,” Simmons said. “I think it’ll help everybody understand our players a little bit better as well.”
