Bellonora McCallum - The Agent
Charlotte, North Carolina
SP: What is your career background and experience?
BM: After completing my undergraduate degree at
North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State
University, I attended law school at North Carolina
Central University earning my MBA and law degree. I
attribute the bulk of my experience to the time spent
representing the State of North Carolina in all criminal
proceedings in Mecklenburg County in my capacity as
an Assistant District Attorney. This career was the
spring board to teaching me the skills needed to
successfully manage my own company. My love for
sports, desire to learn as much as I could whenever
possible, and experience with my family were all major contributing factors to the career path I ultimately
chose.
SP: What is the most memorable sports related encounter that you can share?
BM: When I attended the 2012 Super Regional NFL Combine in Dallas, Texas with my client last year.
He was invited out of hundreds that competed in NFL Regional Combines throughout the U.S. It was
incredible being apart of the process of watching the prospects really perform in front of the scouts
representing each NFL Team. You could really feel the intensity in such a huge space. But, on top of
that it was the most amazing feeling to have access to get into the Cowboys Stadium and really absorb
that atmosphere and the history involved. I grew up a HUGE Cowboy Fan.
SP: What is the toughest part about being a female agent in a male-dominant sports agency industry?
BM: The toughest part would have to be demonstrating that I am just as capable and knowledgeable as
my male counterparts.
SP: Are you taking on any new clients?
BM: Yes, McCallum Enterprises welcomes the opportunity to assist new clients in reaching their career
goals and planning for their future.
SP: How do you find new talent?
BM: I am an avid sports fan. So finding new talent is as easy watching the very sport you love at all
competitive levels.
SP: Any advice you would like to share with individuals looking to get into the sports agency industry?
BM: The main advice I would give to anyone starting out in the sports industry is to believe in yourself
and constantly surround yourself with positive people that believe and pray for your success. If it’s your
passion go for it. Make sure you are ready to work hard and take the lessons along the way. Don’t be
afraid to research and learn something on your own if there is no one there to guide you.
