Experimental artist Lo Lo celebrates the bravery of Jahmal Howlett-Mundle, a footballer who has come out as bisexual.\n\nJahmal's story hit the headlines when phone footage of him coming out to his teammates went viral. Once crippled with anxiety, the semi-professional footballer and teacher found solace in sharing his truth - and who better to transform this into a work of art than Lo Lo, a non-binary painter, sculptor and film-maker.
