My latest over at Pride of the Terraces! Loved talking to Jahmal, and think there are some really important points he makes in this one.

Pride of the Terraces @prideoftheterraces.com · Nov 23

Jahmal Howlett-Mundle: "I would love more black people from the LGBTQ+ community to have a voice."

During Rainbow Laces, we return to football for a brand new interview, discussing bi rep in sport and why more diversity is needed within the LGBTQ+ community.

Jahmal Howlett-Mundle: “I would love more black people from the LGBTQ+ community to have a voice.”

Even within LGBTQ+ spaces in sport, Jahmal Howlett-Mundle has a unique spot – and he is determined to use it to help make positive change in the sport.
