Besa Gordon: Converge Media’s Pop Culture Queen
If you were to ask Besa about her recent uptick in success, she will contribute a huge amount of it to Converge Media. Converge may be known for highlighting local businesses, leaders and stories, but unlike most media companies, Converge also highlights the achievements of their talent while also investing in them financially which is something Besa was not used to before coming to Converge Media.
Besa said it herself "I think it’s safe to say you don’t leave Converge the same way you came, it’s a different kind of team over here. We’re all truly a family, and everyone wants to see the next person win."
Since joining Converge in 2020 Besa has gone to her first Ballet and Broadway shows, won an EMMY with the entire Converge team, did live episodes of "Rewind With Besa" at The Paramount Theatre, and McCaw Hall. She's gotten a new TV show on FOX 13 and FOX 13+ called "Back2BESA: Where The NorthWest Connets." Besa has also left the country for the first time, gained a partnership with Friends of Waterfront Seattle, hosted her first Town Hall, has been tapped to host different award shows, caught the attention of the PNW Recording Academy, and is now on the Governor's Board, plus conducted numerous interviews while learning media and personal development skills that only the best money can buy.
