I am a born again Christian who was raised in a Christian home by a single mother alongside my 2 brothers (I'm the first born and only female).

  4. 4. Black Queer Love

    @blackqueerlove1078YouTubeSouth Africa

    We’re so excited to soon be launching our online docu-series, simply called Black Queer Love. Inspired by @blacklovedoc and the works of the New York Times’ Jamal Jordan (@lostblackboy), author Darnell L. Moore (@mooredarnell), and singer-songwriter and actor Nakhane (@nakhaneofficial), among many others, we sought to tell the rarely told stories about black queer love. We were interested to find how, in spite of the condemnation, misunderstanding, ridicule, and just the general demands of every day life, some black and queer couples make this love thing work. While this is an ongoing project, we’re excited by the conversations we have already had with various black and queer South African couples about how they found (and continue to find) comfort and love in each other. How they dealt with homophobia, family dynamics, infidelity, distance, etc. To participate, please email us:

  5. 5. Enclave America

    @EnclaveAmericaYouTubeSouth Africa

    Some communities don't want to be understood. We explain them anyway. Enclave America goes inside the closed, hidden, and forgotten communities that exist quietly alongside mainstream America — the ones with their own rules, their own money systems, and their own version of the American dream. From Amish business empires and Mennonite farming cooperatives, to Orthodox wealth networks, Mormon investment funds, and Native American tribal economies — we break down how these communities build, protect, and pass down wealth in ways most people never see. Every week: one community, one deep dive, one question answered — what do they know about money that the rest of us don't? No sensationalism. No mockery. Just honest, research-backed storytelling about the hidden enclaves that quietly shape American life.
