This month on the Onor Podcast, we sat down with Brandy Thigpen, Host City Director for FIFA World Cup 2026 Los Angeles, a powerful force in sports, leadership, and community impact.

Brandy takes us through her incredible journey, shaped by a deep love for her family, a relentless work ethic, and a strong commitment to equity and access. From navigating male-dominated spaces to turning global moments into meaningful platforms, she shares what it truly means to lead with purpose and power.

Tune in for a conversation that’s full of insight, intention, and real talk on what it means to lead from the front and bring your community with you.

Insightful. Intentional. Inspiring.

🎥 Behind every moment is an incredible team:

· Coldea Productions , capturing it all with heart and precision

· Janice Akane Hudson, our editing dream team

· Madalina Preda, the voice that keeps the conversation flowing

· And of course, Gabriela Iancu and Oana Tucker, bringing vision and soul to every detail.

THANK YOU to our beautiful host, the Waldorf Astoria, for creating the perfect space to hold meaningful conversations in absolute elegance.
