The Global Sports Mentoring Program — a collaboration between espnW and the U.S. Department of State that pairs emerging leaders from around the world with top American female executives in a four-week mentorship — recently marked its fourth edition. ESPN’s Vice President, Visual Technology, Marina Escobar and Vice President, Affiliate Marketing account management, Kimberly Wilson, served as mentors for two participants.

Carla Bustamante from Mexico and Hanna Fauzie from Indonesia spent the month working with Escobar and Wilson on developing action plans for programs to create sporting opportunities for girls and women in their home countries. They share their perspectives on working together in this video.
