Raise Us Up – Lewes Women FC’s Jessica King takes to the Stage during Lockdown

Mark Walker speaks to Lewes Women FC’s Jessica King about her new song, Raise Us Up. Raise Us Up is a song about women trying to break free and be heard and respected in a man’s world. That could be anywhere, but this story takes place in the male bastion of football. Raise Us Up started as a rap, written by Jess, to express her personal history, frustration and hopes around the struggles and hopes of women’s football. Her playing career around Europe means that she has been at the frontline of the struggle for recognition and fair treatment.
