THE MESSAGE:

Our music and our politics speak to a new generation of youth who are looking for more than the clichéd “bling bling” lifestyle and has led to us performing and connecting with a wide variety of artists such as Public Enemy,Drake, Dead Prez, Beenie Man, Shad K, Michie Mee, Maestro and K’Naan to name a few. Recently, our organization completed a tour of several Toronto high schools, resulting in filled auditoriums, stunned faculty and hundreds of students becoming aware of many often overlooked issues.

We speak on such overlooked issues as:
*Media awareness
*Family
*Cultural Identity
*Our Hidden History
*Peacekeeping
*Gender Roles

THE METHOD
By speaking out in the community, bridging the gap between youth and authority and challenging their minds, we can connect with young people from all walks of life and help them better understand their place in their community, their society and in history.

From speaking one on one to offering in-depth and engaging workshops for youths aged 10 and under, 10 to 13 years of age and for 13 +, Stolen From Africa creates a unique forum that connects what the youth are learning in their studies to what is going on in the real world. By using the language and culture of Hip-Hop, true expression can be fostered, allowing education and understanding to grow without preaching.

Stolen From Africa is an inclusive movement, offering our services to institutionalized youth, students and faculty as well as community organizations.
