Wayne says:

​I wanted to team up with Art & Soul Tribe because our core values and missions seemed to tie together in harmony. As someone who comes from a unique upbringing with profoundly deaf parents and being part of the LGBTQ community, it was just a match made in heaven! I strongly believe that everyone should be given equal opportunities and should be treated with respect, and Art & Soul Tribe promote that exact value that we should all naturally have instilled in one another. It’s causes like this that make our world a better place to live in.

Jenna Downing

World Champion inline skater & female role model

Inline skating champion Jenna Downing is none other than the 2008 LG Action Sports World Champion, 10 x British Champion and is a X-Games silver medallist (2002). All by the age of 21! A natural competitor, Jenna has competed in rollerblading events since the tender age of 8 and has amassed a lifetime of awards competing across the globe in televised and major international events. After turning professional at the age 12 (making Jenna the youngest female skater in the world to ever turn pro) there was no stopping her and Jenna has gone on to become an institution in British rollerblading. Her Sporting Ambassador award (2004) and her UK Freesports Athlete of the year award (2005) are testament to her fantastic ability and commitment to her chosen sport. Jenna was also one of four young people in the country nominated for the Nickelodeon Inspirational Young Person Award in 2012 and was winner of the UKRA Legacy Award 2012.

Jenna is an excellent role model for young women. Through her coaching clinics and, indeed, her amazing success she demonstrates that hard work and commitment can allow you to achieve, both personally and professionally. In the last 10 years Jenna has travelled to many countries across Europe, the Middle East, Australia and the USA to compete and represent the UK. She has also appeared in numerous TV programmes and commercials, computer games, in fashion magazines and the national press
