Jahmal introduced himself to people in the LGBT+ community back in July 2021, when a video of him coming out to his football teammates went viral. In the three years since, he has been on a unique, mostly uplifting but sometimes immensely challenging journey in the game. As a Black, out bisexual man in team sports, there is no roadmap for the path he has been following. Jam has shown immense courage in talking publicly about how his struggle with his sexuality over many years influenced his mental health and confidence; why conversations about modern masculinity and authenticity are vital, particularly in supporting young people; and how language and behaviours that make others feel unwelcome or unsafe continue to be so damaging. Jahmal is a true trailblazer - giving back to the men’s game and breaking down stereotypes by embracing all parts of himself as an athlete and educator.
