Amal Fashanu is a filmmaker, presenter, designer, musician, and equality advocate. She is known for her work tackling discrimination in sports and beyond.
As the founder of the Justin Fashanu Foundation, she has been a leading voice in addressing homophobia in football, continuing the legacy of her late uncle, Justin Fashanu. Her BBC documentary, Britain’s Gay Footballers, brought critical attention to the challenges faced by LGBTQ+ players and was nominated for multiple broadcasting awards.
Beyond her documentary work, Amal has built a diverse career in media, fashion, and music. She has reported for BBC News, Sky News, and The Guardian, using journalism as a tool for social change.
In 2012, after attending a summit on discrimination in football at Downing Street, Amal launched her fashion label, Black Heart Label, a clothing brand that promotes equality through design. After completing her master’s degree in handbag design, she founded Amal Fashanu Handbags, a luxury brand that supports small businesses while advocating for equality.
Amal’s work has been recognised with accolades such as the Wintrade Award and Ethnicity Award, reflecting her impact in championing diversity and inclusion. Her ability to bridge advocacy with creativity makes her a compelling speaker on social justice, representation, and the power of storytelling to drive change.
