The Unapologetic God. Black. Youth Movement!

By Palesa Mohlamme

I love Soweto because we get to be inspired, ignited and fed infinite wisdom by young people in the township. I was intrigued by God Black Youth Movement, because it's not everyday you get to hear young Black people owning their throne and recognizing their real power. Founded in 2015 by Thando, Oshun and Siphelele, the holy trinity from Central Western Jabavu,  provides teachings and thought provoking knowledge to young people and they also sell Afrocentric books to the locals as well.

Founding members of the movement 

The philosophy behind God. Black. Youth is about knowing oneself and celebrating the God that you are. I really think it's a stepping stone for Black Youth to gain and have the necessary confidence and tools to knowing oneself.

Food for thought.. 

 For a change, this is a movement that doesn't preach agreession towards white people or anything about race for that matter.
Its a platform whereby you celebrate being Black without being apologetic about it, being conscious about your spirituality, state of mind, and surroundings. The movement keeps on moving as they have been joined by more followers and later this month they will be opening their new store at Mofolo, Soweto.

Beautiful crystals also sold at the store! 

Authentic indeed..



They also host Sipher, poetry and MC sessions just to name a few every first Friday of the month. Alternatively, you can expand your schemer by checking out their Afrocentric books and buy some authentic God. Black.Youth T-shirts for R100. Having to interview and knowing more about the movement has been an elightenling and eye opening experience for me. Please check them out on Facebook- God Black Youth.
