- a look into the ERASED history of black and brown people that built England from the ground up. A story that seems to be missing from our school books. A story that deserves to be told.

I can honestly say that this has been by far the most impactful and IMPORTANT activities that I’ve sought out during my travels.
For context, this was a THREE HOUR food and history tour. However, as you can see, the video is less than 30 minutes long..
I was asked to leave major talking points out of my video to preserve the experience for others who would like to join in person.
Truthfully, this was against my personal better judgement but I am inclined to respect my guide’s Obi wishes and did just that.
All in all, this was a life changing day for me and a highly highly recommended excursion on your next trip to London 🇬🇧
All booking info for my guide is listed in the description 🙏🏽
This was so dope! Thank you for sharing your guide's info Jas, I was about to ask. It's been added to the bucket list.
COME TO NEWHAM, AND LIVE STREAM IT, LIVE WHEN YOUR THERE, BEFORE YOU GO
YOU CAN GO TO WESTFIELD STARTFORD, OR EXCEL
*With respect, I urge you to read and educate yourself about the places you travel before arriving based on watching several of your videos. I understand not everyone is formally educated. As a world traveler I have lived in many countries and currently visiting my 39th country. Godspeed.* ❤❤
@@TravelerSannaGood for you. With respect, I’m on the go way too much to sit and research the history of every single place I visit. YOUR way of traveling is not MINE and that’s ok.
Black bodies wanted for labor and sacrifice for country, but have to fight for housing, rights, and just freedom to be, is a GLOBAL story.
This is a fact
@@choklitsoul4700 The interesting thing that most people overlook when it comes to the Windrush is the year of 1948 the same year that the state of Israel was established. The Windrush was the start of Britain completely changing as a nation.
The tour guide delivered a powerfully engaging journey through the history and contribution of afro-Caribbean people to life and culture here in the U.K.
The tour guide was FASCINATING!!! This segment was VERY insightful, thank you so much! I admire your bravery to travel alone, especially during times like these: A new sub. here!
Glad you enjoyed it! ✨ welcome to the family 💗💗
Undercover slavery
I love the tour guide’s passion and enthusiasm for Brixton history and culture.
He’s a shining star. Thoroughly enjoyed it ✨☺️
Me too! May God bless him with all his heart’s desires cuz he really is amazing ❤
Thank you so much miss ❤❤❤@itsjasminegiselle
@Ijustwannatalk_lexi thank you so much miss
This History can be very dark. I’m praying that all descendants regardless of what tribes you came from may find who you truly are.
I can’t wait to visit, Brixton!!!! The history, culture, food…. I’m here for it!!
Me too
The patty shop you went to is not the first jamaican restaurant in Brixton.. a real Brixtonian a talk..Good to see that some aspects of the old back a day Brixton is still there...but gentrification has taken over..nothing wrong with change, but inclusion needs to be part of that change....miss the old Brixton soooo much...❤❤❤❤❤
Just for clarification purposes.... I may have misspoke but... Healthy Eaters started their business 21 years ago with a food truck in the market and have grown to the point of owning their current space. Them being the 1st in Brixton is not correct. Having been born and raised in Brixton... my original Jamaican bakery was First Choice Bakers on the corner of Market Row.
I will forever hold the memories of my wonderful t life in Brixton. I am a product of windrush. He is an excellent guide I learned a lot from him that I did not know. Excellent video..
He’s amazing! Thank you for watching 💕💕💕
Absolutely Loved this video, Proud to be a descendant of the Windrush era, My Father came to England, from Jamaica, on the Windrush.
Tour Guide, was spot on, with his description, as to how many Black people, were treated, when they 1st got here, just shows, our resilience as a People, We are Amazing. Safe travels, Jasmine, cant wait for the next video.
I recommend people to watch an old film called ‘Black Joy’ based in Brixton in the 60’s or early 70’s, if you have an interest in Brixton or Londons black community’s it is a good film to go back too and others like ‘Babylon’ ‘pressure’ etc
Ooh I’m def gonna check it out. I love old movies based on real life. Truly our only chance to take a peep back into the past
Is the movie “Babylon pressure”? I would like to try to locate it. Thanks.
@@reighn205 They are separate films. You have others like, Burning an illusion, Young soul rebels, Bullet boy, Rolling with the nines. They are all different genres of films. A documentary I would recommend would be Bang bang in the manor, produced by: Ishmahil Bladgrove (not for the faint hearted) and Battle for Brixton
Seen that movie many times,still have it on DVD. A number of the old black British movies I collected.
@@jumbees5524 my family in the states barely knew black people existed in the UK 🤭 it’s funny how they react too different aspects of black British lifestyles, each one is unexpected to see it’s existence in the UK and I totally understand because I understand history. Maybe my family have lest excuse because they are of West Indian decent, but people forget that the mainlands of America has had black people just as long as the Caribbean, so I don’t even know why we as black British people ask them where they are from, not all black British people can tell you what part of Africa they are from
Ohhh jeeez u came to our album launch party! Hope you enjoyed it!! 🎤
Baby girl,
Continue doing what is placed on your spirit to do. Your content is valuable and informative. Use these haters as your motivation. You have people from all over the world LITTERALLY tapping in. Your content is appreciated! Safe travels always and I can't wait to see more 🙏🏾❤️
This was very educational & interesting thanks for sharing👍🏽✊🏽
Glad you enjoyed it 😊
This video is one of my faves BY FAR! I’m all about a history moment and this would’ve had me all day. I can’t with to get back to the uk and explore ❤
Thank you so much! The tour is a MUST DO 🤌🏽🤌🏽
What a great vlog!!!! Outstanding work, Jasmine!!!
Glad you liked it!! 😊
21 years ago could never been the fist. Londons always had Caribbean restaurants probably over 50 years
Definitely not the first, I think they meant as a food truck it was one of the first and then they opened a restaurant 21 years ago. I could be wrong but as you rightly stated, 21 years is nowhere near the first.
@@stephaniebrown9834 the first for them. I would say any uk inner city that had a black community started to open up food shops barbers and records by the 70’s
Omg this is so good and informative. Thank you ❤
Thank you 💗💗💗
Very educated your guide! I love this!
Great content, Jasmine. The tour guide was top notch, and the information shared regarding Brixton was highly educational. Blessings for continued safe travels.🤗🌹
I’m from south london so this was interesting to watch lol. I know Brixton very well
This tour looks 🔥 and the amazing tour guide's passion and knowledge makes it top tier! Thanks sis for sharing because I will now look to do this when I visit. 💜
The "West Indies" the other Caribbean islands was involved too.
They always forget us
@@username4261 I know 😕 I'm not sure why... There are so many of the other islands over here, JA definitely deserve it's dues. But the other islands most definitely play a big part also. It wasn't just JA on the Windrush boat to my recollect?
Yes I get soooo tired of the West Indies just being represented by Jamaica we're now in 2024 people,educate yourself!!
@@domniqueisleseer5101 preach!
This is the second one of your videos that I have seen, I am so proud that you are doing things like this. I am glad that you been to Brixton, and seen things from a different prospective. Keep up the good work, and look forward to your other adventures.
Ace live, the youtuber was just in Brixton. Doing the same content. You guys should link up.
Yes!!! Ace is an exceptional travel vlogger.
Thank you for this , so much culture. I love when creators show stuff educational like this, I like the other stuff too but this means alot to me. Thank you for all you do!! Beautiful😍
Great content. Totally enjoyed watching.
thank youuuu 💕💕
The food tray with the wraps looks so creatively intriguing 😋
It was soooo good
@@itsjasminegiselle I definitely take your word for it because it just looked not only satisfying but as you mentioned earlier; fulfilling as well. I'd love to give it a try ...
Awww you came to where I was born and lived for most of my life, bless ❤
Alway miss you when you come to London 😭
Thank you for showcasing our city and our history to your community ❤
It's my pleasure 💗💗💗
Man I miss London and my people in London man. we are a strong group of people.
Interesting history lesson. Great tour guide.
Wowwww Brixton looks wild different since the last time I was there which was 2015! 😊
Not sure how your page came across my timeline but I’m taking my first trip to London in October and I’m so excited. This is an amazing video. Kuddos to you!
October is not a good time to go to London
Your videos never disappoint, I loved this!❤
Thank you so much!!
Great informative video! I love how they had the Black Panther/ Chadwick Boseman mural🙏🏽🙅🏿♂️ ✊🏽
Thank you for going to Brixton. I have so many memories there from the 80s onwards ❤❤❤
You should go to Leytonstone east London and try Ugandan food it’s called Excelline restaurant
He is such an engaging guide!!
Thank you ❤
Great Video! Great Tour Guide!❤
You've done it again!!! What a fun way to eat, educate, exercise, explore and enjoy!!!😅 Thank you for such a fulfilling video. Oh...while I was busy lookin around, did he talk about the skinheads and punkers? I know there's a history around that era. Basically, the youths of the Windrush community were the source of that movement. I know you couldn't share all the tour had to offer. So I thought I'd ask here. Till next time sis!!!💜🧚🏿♀️💜
You’re doing an AMAZING job with your content. Keep up the GREAT work.
Thank you so much 😊
The history of Notting Hill is quite interesting too. love infinity my people! memories man......💯❤
Yeah Eritrean food is amazing that is where Rubi Ross and Nipsy Hassel come from
It was sooo good. I’ve already sought out Ethiopian food in Istanbul lol
Great job sharing this content!
My great grandfather fought in WWI, and died at war. He is buried, there, in England, in Hornchurch.
ACE also came down here a few weeks ago.
I thoroughly enjoyed this. Thank you for sharing. ❤
Loved this!! Before I scrolled down, I said I hope Jasmine tells us who this tour guide is and the name of the tour. Of course you did! 💗 Thanks for taking us along. PS what was the name of the pub with the rap battle?
Excellent video. Thank you ❤
Wow The British love and rock American Rap Music like it was theirs. That was a nice tour and tour guide. Beautiful to learn the truth about African history they keep us from learning
I fond the information for the tour on your website . Thank you
Hi there Lady J, I enjoyed the Black History lesson. It's wonderful when you can learn something everyday! Continue to do your thang!
I am so happy for you sakineh Zahra is so attentive to you and her siblings very impressed. Zainab you are an artist. Oh what are you dancer. Loved the dance. Aida wow. Ahmed Raza the boss. Very happy for you all.
Thank you sameneh for this video you are the beat
I'm so glad that I found your account! I am leaving to take a year of solo travel starting in November with London. I've been there before but wanted to go where more Black people are this time. Thanks!
I recommend east street market as well as woolwich for more black areas
November isn't a good time to go to London though
SOUTH LONDON 🇯🇲 BACKGROUND !! ORIGINAL BRIXTONIAN ! BRIXTON RUNS THROUGH MY VEINS
Great video ❤
Thank you!! 💕🫶🏽
Wow this is amazing , this seems soo good and I go brixion but don’t explore I just get what I need then go home
So informative. I loved this 🤗👍🏾
Is there any information regarding the marvelous tour guide. I’m planning a visit and would love a tour. Thank you.
Yes. Please check description
Love the video!
It’s good to know a bit more in-depth history about Brixton. It even got me feeling a bit emotional 🥺
Thanks for sharing!
If you know your history…Then you would know where you coming from- Bob Marley
Great tour !
Starting to experience the brixtonion culture now
1:15 ahh funny i just wondered why there were so many jamaicans over there.
16:07 oh that’s dope ima visit then bc i been following them 🙌🏾
Thanks for this video yo.
Eritrea and Ethiopia are basically the same people who chose to be divided. You were correct when you said Ethiopian food. When you get a chance try the Special Tibbs, Doro Watt and Shiro 🤤
Another good one Jazz!
Hey gurl thanks fir sharing❤❤🙏🙏
Nice one 🇬🇧🇯🇲
Brixton market always had an Arcade, not just out doors. Brixton Village was add after
Loved this!
I’m so glad 😇🥰
This is interesting thank you for sharing
Great video!😊 Thx!
Great video, very educational.
Thanks for watching 🫶🏽🫶🏽
Eritrea and Ethiopian Food are the same,I dont know if you was told about the Brixton Recreation centre where they use to hold Ethiopian and Eritrean music events with the likes of Teddy Afro in attendance,great video Jasmine
I saw them online and have a cookbook 🤗
Excellent 👊
Sorry I respect the guide but some of his facts were misleading, not to say straight up wrong.
People from the Caribbean ASKED to come to come to England. ‘Bought here’ sounds like a repeat of slavery… it wasn’t, they came here by choice.
It wasn’t about ‘cheap labour’.
England had heavy losses during the war and there was a labour shortage, especially in certain fields. Transport system , the Health Service and the postal service needed staff. Caribbean, as well as African and Indian, citizens were technically British subjects and didn’t need to go through the lengthy citizenship process were invited or recruited in their own countries. They also had an opportunity for a career ,better life and the prospect of earning money ,which could be sent back home.
Once here they had to apply for passports etc. Many didn’t, resulting in the Windrush scandal a few years ago, but that’s a different conversation.
Sorry,I had to debunk the theory about Caribbeans being ‘bought here for cheap labour’.
Oh and Windrush square was never a private garden. It has always been a public space, it was renamed recently. Forgot what it was called before.
I love Injera.
The history of black people in the U.k. goes way, way back... Windrush although significant is only a part of the story. 😊
Love the HISTORY...ldidnt know this about WW2 and the African colonies coming to the UK. I love this guy's enegry. That healthy food...yes!!! What is his Name???
Can you share how to sign up for the same tour?
Listed in the description.
The food is Ethiopian food.
The guy should try not to distort history and culture.
It’s Ethiopian food and it is called Beyeaynetu which is an amharic word for from “different kinds”
And Eritrea got its independence from Ethiopia three decades ago.
We shave common cultures to some extent but the food is Ethiopian.
Go to Washington DC and LA and you will find Ethiopian restaurants all the people from around the world love the Ethiopian food.
Or come to Ethiopia and get it fresh and raw and see for yourself:)
LONDON??? GURL.❤❤
Did you see Ace out there ❤?!
Nopeee I missed him
More of them need passports to see life farther than their city or neighborhoods. Good culture and enlightenment.
Hi Jasmine
Very nice video
Tour guide twisting history Africans had nothing to do with Windrush history they came much later themselves affer carribeans already established themselves in uk
Lol the Indians (mr Patel ) were mostly from African buddy and africans were there but we didn’t live we usually returned home or educational purposes
@ao5241 it was indians/Pakistan and carribeans that was in the uk first....not no Africans just one and two africans mabey....the Africans was not asked to come over they came themselves mainly after Windrush after carribeans was established...and don't tell me nothing about Africans from India they are still indian..I can tell the Africans are writing themselves into Windrush history and trying to twist it up..and it is not true...carribeans went through a lot in uk that helped pave the way for Africans to settle in the uk.. the Africans never came with Windrush they came after that's the true history
Your in my place for a second time
Hi Jasmine ❤❤❤❤
❤️❤️❤️
@@itsjasminegiselle ❤️❤️❤️❤️
It’s Eritrea 🇪🇷 and Eritrean 🇪🇷 big up the tour guide
According to reddit, natives pronounce it Ertra
Don’t worry, it is exactly the same as Ethiopian food. This is because Eritrea and Ethiopia used to be one nation 😊
Jasmine you said your jamaican why dont you vist your jamaican family i can't wait
WAKE UP. LEARN ..... EVERYDAY ....

Ethiopian food is DELICIO❤S ... Thanks for sharing ❤....
It really is! 😩
Because Ethiopian food is a “Intimate “ experience when you scoop you just want to drop it in your mouth esp if you around strangers.If you with bae on a date night do ya thing 😂❤
It was my first time lol
❤❤ Ethiopian food.
So, sooo good
You just ate Ethiopian food
It was Eritrean 😋
@@itsjasminegiselleno
@@khaldounhajaj8347 You are both correct, both countries eat similar/ the same foods. They are literally next door neighbours.
@@kooliecurlz93I swear I went to an Ethiopian restaurant shortly after this and it definitely tasted the same 😂 both were yummy
The food is delicious and it is Ethiopian food
