Lioness and Chelsea forward Lauren James talks to GLAMOUR's Lucy Morgan about representation, inclusivity in sport, and the power of football.
Like most footballers, Lauren James prefers to let her on-pitch skills do most of the talking. And so far, it's a strategy that's paid off. Since joining Chelsea in 2021, she's lifted the Women's Super League trophy three times, won the FA Cup, represented England at the Women's World Cup, and has been nominated for the prestigious Ballon d'Or. Oh, and she's only 22.
After Lauren was handed a red card for appearing to deliberately step on Nigeria's Michelle Alozie during their round of 16 clash , she found herself at the centre of a turbulent media storm. Lauren is all too aware of the disparities between how white and black women footballers are treated on social media.
