“Football is the excuse. Community is the goal.”
In this summer sports special, we chat with Darren Tsang to explore how community, identity, and creativity collide on and off the pitch. Darren, known as Humothy, is a creative thinker, community builder, documentary photographer, and is founder of Rise United and 1314FamilyStyle.
Born in Hong Kong, raised in London, and driven by purpose, Darren shares how his lived experiences shape his visual storytelling, his approach to leadership, and his dedication to building safe, joyful spaces for Asian diaspora communities through sport and culture.
We talk about why community football matters, what it means to be a tastemaker in a world of lazy AI content, and how his projects are redefining belonging – whether that’s through photography, streetwear, or a weekly Sunday match.
Darren also opens up about the realities of burnout, the role of emotional intelligence in leadership, and how collaboration, failure, and joy are central to the legacy he wants to leave behind. He’s also single – so ladies, get in the DMs!
Tune in for a candid conversation on creativity, leadership, and what it really takes to build something that lasts. Remember to subscribe and share - we appreciate you! 💛
