🚨 Besa Gordon Launches New FOX Local App TV Commercial
Written by Besa Gordon - When I launched Back2Besa last year, what was important to me was that one, we uplifted our stories not only from Seattle but all across the region and two, that this show, Back2Besa, was always free and accessible to everyone everywhere, no matter their situation, that way, they can see what I see daily, the beauty, the excellence, and the reliance of our communities across the Pacific Northwest.
Why?... Access to positive images of us is important and necessary, as representation always matters.
So look, no matter where you live—be it the Central District or Centralia, Bellevue or Boise, Portland or Pullman, or anywhere across the country—I want you to join me on this Back2Besa journey by downloading the free FOX Local App on your phone or smart TV. Together, we can elevate the very best of us in our communities.
You'll be able to see what I see, and you will know that our story is amazing and that this uplift is always real.
Besa Gordon joined Good Day Seattle host Erin Mayovsky to give a preview of this week's episode of Back2Besa, which focuses on the legacy of local golf legend Bill Wright. The episode highlights the recent renaming of Jefferson Golf Course to the Bill Wright Golf Complex, a testament to Wright's efforts to break down barriers and promote inclusivity in the sport.

The episode highlights the recent renaming of Jefferson Golf Course to the Bill Wright Golf Complex, a testament to Wright's efforts to break down barriers and promote inclusivity in the sport.
Bill Wright, a Franklin High School graduate, was a champion of inclusivity long before it was a popular stance. During a time when Seattle's golf courses were still segregated, Wright fought for the rights of Black and non-white golfers to play the sport they loved, wherever they wanted.
The renaming ceremony was a momentous occasion, attended by community members, city officials, and Wright's family. Speakers at the event highlighted Wright's contributions to the sport and the importance of his legacy for future generations.
The Bill Wright Golf Complex will serve as a reminder of Wright's commitment to inclusivity and will be a welcoming space for all golfers, regardless of their background.
This renaming is a testament to the power of individuals to create positive change in their communities. As Bill Wright showed us, even when faced with resistance, it's important to stand up for what you believe in and fight for a more inclusive future.
