Jeremy Ebobisse (b. February 14, 1997) is a professional soccer player who has centered his career around the advancement of social justice-related causes, most recently through his co-founding and tenure on the Executive Board of Black Players for Change. An athlete and an activist, he leverages the arc of his career to foster meaningful partnerships. Through these partnerships, Jeremy aims to lobby and implement systems that will help underrepresented minorities build equity in institutions that have previously and systematically excluded them.

Through sport, fashion and advocacy, Jeremy hopes to inspire action from listeners towards promoting racial equity by evoking their sense of duty and catapulting voices from marginalized communities into the mainstream. He hopes that this space, in time, can become a forum for collaboration, amplification and expression for those who want to connect with this community.

Born in Paris to a Malagasy mother and Cameroonian father, Jeremy grew up in the Washington DC suburbs before attending Duke University. He planned to continue his studies in Economics and Education in search of economic rebuttals to arguments undermining sociopolitical equity; however, the desire and opportunity to pursue professional soccer altered the trajectory of his academic ambition. His career has taken him from Durham, NC, to Charleston, SC and Portland, OR, and now San Jose, CA, all leaving a significant imprint on the lens with which he views society and his role in promoting change.

Off the field, Jeremy is a proud member of Players Coalition, More Than a Vote, and Black Players for Change. Most recently, he has joined the advisory council of Strong Future Maryland. While each nonprofit, whether national or local, promotes access and opportunity through its own niche, the throughline between them all is the unwavering determination to defend and promote an inclusive and equitable society. As an individual, Jeremy hopes that his drive and outspokenness can continue to challenge bias in public thought and discourse in hopes of reclaiming myopic narratives used against marginalized groups.
