TAFi Awards 2025 Hosts
One Track, Infinate Stories
Donna Fraser OBE
Olympian and Director of EDI at the Professional Cricketers’ Association
The retired athlete has become a leading voice in equality, diversity and inclusion in sport, having served as Head of Inclusion & Engagement for the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games and currently as Director of EDI at the Professional Cricketers’ Association.
Awarded an OBE in 2021, Fraser continues to inspire generations through her advocacy and leadership.
“Inclusion isn’t just a value, it’s a responsibility,” Fraser said
“I’ve always believed that if you’re going to advocate for change, you have to live it in everything you do. Sport has an incredible platform, but it’s not just the athletes who make it all happen.
“Recognising the people behind the scenes, the coaches, officials, volunteers, administrators, is essential. Hence why I delivered the COACH project in 2018, a photo exhibition to recognise the support behind the athlete.
“They’re the heartbeat of sport, and their contributions deserve to be celebrated just as much as medals.”
Jordan Jarrett-Bryan
Award-winning British journalist and broadcaster
The Channel 4 sports correspondent and former professional wheelchair basketball player says he intends to bring his characteristic energy and authenticity to the TAFi stage.
“I am looking forward to it. It’s going to be good fun, good energy, good spirit in the room. Let’s not take it too seriously, it’s a celebration of inclusion.
“It’s about honouring, recognising and respecting those that are doing the work in Track and Field. There will be some good people in the room with some good stories to tell, so let’s tell them.
“And I hope everyone leaves the room feeling good, feeling empowered and feeling like they want to contribute to the future of Track and Field.”
Jarrett-Bryan started in journalism as editor of the youth publication, Live Magazine and then ATM Magazine. During this time he wrote freelance for magazines and newspapers including Dazed & Confused, DJ, Sunday Times, Time Out, Touch and was a youth consultant for script writers at the BBC. He has also written for The Independent and The Guardian.
He can also be heard on Talksport on the TS Extra Time show from Monday to Friday from 1 a.m. to 6 a.m. with co-presenter Josh Munday, and is an occasional guest on the Guardian Football Weekly podcast.
In the 2012 Summer Paralympics, he was one of the sports commentators for the games on Channel 4.
