Life has never been easy for the blacks. For our Jamaican track and field athlete, Junelle Bromfield, it was the same. Driving the road of hardships, Junelle’s journey from childhood till today has been quite an inspirational one. Living in a place where a career in sports was nowhere in the talks, Junelle found her space. Carrying hopes and dreams, the track and field athlete who is currently facing abuse is getting some support from another Jamaican native.

Award-winning entrepreneur and Sim Soul Sessions host Simone Clarke, however, came forward in support and appraisal of her inspirational comeback. From childhood hardships to facing trouble today, the Jamaican sprinter has come out facing a bag of load ongoing throughout her life. While being in the U.S. for two years, the world has opened new opportunities and careers for her, but with happiness also comes sorrow. Following her recent appearance at the Paris Olympics, the Jamaican sprinter is currently facing a life-threatening stage of her life.

Junelle’s life as a Jamaican

Life in Jamaica was pretty difficult for the sprinter. In a recent interview with Simone Clarke, Junelle Bromfield shares one of her overcoming journeys filled with emotions and hardships during an episode on Sim Soul Sessions. The fear of poverty as an 8-year-old was a difficult one, but it was her mother Sandra Farquharson that carved out the path clear for her. Aside from the poverty was the struggle of an established career, which Junelle overcame with the decision to become an Olympian. The tragic death of her mother in 2021 after suffering from cancer, followed by the deaths of two brothers, was a saddening stage of her life.

Besides the podcast, the show host also came in support of Junelle with supporting comments after sharing one of her past videos on her Instagram story. “Get extra cups for the blessing overflow. You’ve earned it. Sweet soul, you are. Your steps are ordered. May God bless every one of them.” Overcoming the difficult phases and presenting with an impressive performance, Junelle’s life saw a period of normalcy. However, one cannot be worry-free for long.

While the Paris Olympics was a celebrated event for many, it was, however, one of the saddest events in the life of the Jamaican sprinter. With the Paris Olympics under way, Junelle is disturbed by the amount of hate on social media. The Jamaican sprinter reveals a saddening truth given out by her native people. From being called ‘sell-out’ to being discriminated against based on colorism, the athlete is currently facing cyberbullying for being in a relationship with American athlete Noah Lyles.

 Junelle Bromfield’s relationship with Noah Lyles

A 7-year relationship between two athletes belonging to the same category is rare to see, but to maintain it comes more difficulty. For Junelle and Noah Lyles, their relationship is a foundation of trust gained at the time when the Jamaican sprinter was going through much. Standing side by side along each other, the two remained friends for a long time, but it was two years before the two started dating and became official.

With a strong bond of trust, the amount of hate commented upon in their relationship is immense. Despite that, the two have emerged together strong, with the two showing support for each other’s professional careers. The Paris Olympics saw the two providing impressive performances individually. While Lyles got the gold in the 200-meter category, Junelle Bromfield could only make it to the semi-finals in the 400-meter event.

Through several ups and downs, the two have emerged as a successful couple, followed by their engagement on October 13th. Sharing the proposal video on social media—such a happening event with the two getting together can be the only way to tone down the hate received.
