Today’s guests are Lisa Evans, Ruth Davies, Sophie Hird, Jameela Elfaki, and Fadumo.
Lisa, who transferred from Arsenal to West Ham after we recorded this, is a pacey winger who‘s won 12 trophies throughout her career including league titles in Scotland, Germany, and England. She is also a UEFA We Play Strong Ambassador and vlogger.

Ruth is a contemporary artist whose work is characterised by its brightly coloured, illustrative aesthetic as it contemplates the female football gaze. Her paintings have been featured online in British Vogue, Grazia France, and Shukyu Japanese football magazine.

Sophie is a fashion designer who upcycles football jerseys to create brilliant separates — western shirts, shorts, and more — that are made to order. Indie band Sports Team have worn her pieces and this Bricks Magazine quote sums up her work: ‘Fighting football’s historically stereotypical toxic masculinity with flamboyantly camp 17th century inspired looks, and resisting the waste of mass-produced fashion through made-to-order pieces and completely second-hand fabrics.’

Jameela is an English-Sudanese photographer, art director, editor, and DJ based in London. She is the founding editor and art director of the independent magazine and platform AZEEMA, which launched in 2017 and centres women and non-binary people from the Middle East, North Africa and South Asia.

Fadumo is a former footballer, youth worker, and the Telegraph's first women's sport social media editor. She was also a recipient of a Football Black List ‘Ones To Watch’ award in 2019 and is an ambassador for the Youth Sport Trust.

This conversation took place in person in West London.
