Jon Holmes: Increasing Media Visibility of LGBT+ Athletes and Their Stories

Jon Holmes: Increasing Media Visibility of LGBT+ Athletes and Their Stories
Jon: Thanks for having me, Spiffy! The main challenge is the under-representation and limited visibility of LGBTQ+ people in both sports and sports media. I started Sports Media LGBT+ as a UK industry network to foster a sense of community, and it has expanded into advocacy, consultancy, and digital publishing, with supporters worldwide. Our mission is to encourage more positivity and responsible sharing of sporting stories from lesbian, gay, bi, and trans folk that focuses primarily on how authenticity boosts performance.

Parveen Begum: Leading the Way to Electromobility

Parveen Begum: Leading the Way to Electromobility

Parveen: At Solisco, we are trying to give people energy freedom by demonstrating new ways of powering things that are usually responsible for carbon emissions. Such as the cars we drive. Our mission is to transform ordinary spaces into innovative energy hubs, by implementing solar carports, smart chargers, and battery storage to support electric vehicle uptake. Unless this sustainable infrastructure exists, our shift to electro-mobility will not be as green and innovative as it can be. The heartbeat of our company has always been to educate others about the benefits of EVs and clean technology and provide thought leadership on what the future of electrification could look like; clean and affordable for everyone.
