Football, fashion and fighting for the future
Jasmyne Spencer has played in every season the NWSL, the top flight of professional soccer in the USA, since it started. She now plays for Los Angeles based Angel City FC. The franchise is in just it's second year of existence but the team isn't short of publicity. It's owned by some of the biggest names in Hollywood including Natalie Portman and Eva Longoria, but it's not the glamour that attracted Jasmyne to sign, it's what the club does off the field.
Jasmyne is not only a pro footballer, she's an environmentalist, an EcoAthlete and an entrepreneur, running "Jas It Up" a successful, sustainable clothing brand. Ahead of the new season she's been telling Caroline Barker about football, fashion, famous film stars and being back on the field again.
