When Passion for Storytelling Meets Work

This is my first video essay for Queer Global, and it is the project where my passion for storytelling and my day job finally became one and the same. I researched, wrote, filmed and edited it entirely myself. Justin Fashanu scored one of the greatest goals in English football history, became Britain’s first Black £1,000,000 footballer, and was the only top-tier player to come out as gay while still playing. The sport destroyed him for it. Thirty years later, there is still not a single openly gay player in the Premier League.
