We also chat about the vital role @blazefc plays in Jacob’s life, being visible in journalism and some top tips for people hoping to get into the industry.
Also, excuse my croaky voice - we recorded this as I had laryngitis, so I’m a bit… squeaky!

Rupa was a pleasure to be around whenever we saw her, playing in such a great spirit and wonderful company off the pitch.
A beautiful soul, we will miss you.
Our marathon Sunday might not have ended in the result we wanted, but another great trip in the @gfsnUK to face @NottmLionsFC.
Huge thanks to @CadentGasLtd whose continued support in LGBTQ football helps teams around the country to play in this wonderful league.
Everyone here at Blaze stands shoulder to shoulder with Troy Deeney, a man who with his commitment to highlighting social and racial inequalities, makes us proud on and off the pitch.
Racism can have no place in our sport.
"I got racially abused last night by one of my own fans."
"When you look at the board of the FA and it's all 60-year-old white people, it doesn't affect them."
@T_Deeney speaks out on racism in football
Thanks so much to the wonderful team at @BirminghamPride for sharing all our details during #LGBTplusHM.
If you'd like to find out more, please don't hesitate to message. When we march this year, you could be us.

Might not have been Blues' night tonight, but Blaze carry the week on tomorrow evening with our weekly training and free football for all session.
We've been lucky enough to have had some fantastic people join the club since we started these, and you could be the next.
Great to be using the ticket allocation at @BCFC thanks to their continued brilliant support of Blaze.
Here's hoping the second brings us three points.

At a time when football feels like a hostile place for the LGBTQ+ community - @birminghamblaze have started putting on free training sessions with the aim of getting more people from the community into the sport
A great scheme run by a great bunch 🏳️🌈⚽️
Thank you to @flupton and the Breakfast Show team at @BBCCWR for inviting on co-chair @jpkesseler to speak about his disappointment at England and Wales for backing out of their commitment to wear the One Love captain's armband.

You may have heard JP mention our player who grew up in the same region of the world as Qatar. We could not be prouder that he chose to share his experience with the BBC.
Huge thanks to @LR_Wolstenholme for giving him a platform and amplifying his voice.

We were also thrilled to have @CllrJohnCotton and @laurenrainbow with us on Wednesday.
A wonderful message that us at Blaze support wholeheartedly.
As the World Cup kicks off this weekend our message is simple. We stand in solidarity with our LGBT+ brothers and sisters across the world. 🏳️🌈 @laurenrainbow @CllrJohnCotton @blazefc
Was a pleasure to have @bengodfrey1 at training on Wednesday to talk to us about the impending World Cup.
Catch us again on @bbcmtd at 18:30 this evening.

On @bbcmtd, we’re hearing from players @blazefc about #Qatar2022 #WorldCup2022 and discrimination against #LGBTQ community. Plus how supporters clubs like @VillaAndProud are helping fans as some venues ban showing the games. More 1.30 and 6.30pm @BBCOne @joelycett
