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 🙏🏽
*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.
@@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.
Yes, Black people were used and then discarded when the war was over. The same thing happened in the Dominican Republic. Haitian people were brought over for free labor, but when it was no longer legal enslave them, the government tried to annihilate them. Even to this day the government will not give Haitian people citizenship, even though they have been in the country for decades.
they weren't really significant number of black soldiers fighting for the British... and there definitely weren't a million. There were some 1.5 million Indian troops who fought on the British side, primarily against the Japanese in Burma and in North Africa. The remainder millions of troops were from Britain.
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.
@obibear9261 Please consider starting a YT Channel on Black History in London, you have the skill and passion for communicating black history that would do so well if you had a channel!
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!
I've been traveling alone for 40+ years to various countries. I've moved (with my dog) the past 5 years alone I've lived in three different countries I'll be 66 this winter and have no plans of stopping.
I’ve been on this walking tour of Brixton with Obi! His storytelling was captivating. I highly recommend for an authentic history lesson. The food part was one of the highlights for me.
Thank you for posting this. I live in the states. It is so crazy & fascinating to hear about the struggles in UK/Brixton and the similarities in the US/NY and I'm sure other parts of the world.
Me and my Wife just got back from London two days ago. Didn’t know anything about Brixton. She’s Trinidadian and Indian and would love it there as well as myself (Cape Verdean). Def gonna hit him up next round. 🤙🏽✊🏽✌🏽
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.
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.
Was in London on Electric Ave. In July 2024. Got the beef patty, coco bread, and fritter from same Jamaican shop. Best I’ve had in a long time. Love the market.
The algorithm is working today. I saw a screen shot and the autoplay started and recognized the tour guide !!! I did this tour when I visited London this summer. It was amazing. Obi was the man and he made us feel like family!
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..
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
@@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
@@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
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 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. 💜
Great content, Jasmine. The tour guide was top notch, and the information shared regarding Brixton was highly educational. Blessings for continued safe travels.🤗🌹
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
I recommend reading Small Island by Andrea Levy, it touches on the lives of windrush soldiers after the war as well as british people living amongst them
Thinking of my parents, grandparents and many other relatives and friends going shopping in the market. The struggle they had to get recognised by society for their input in this society as part of the wider community. Windrush square is a place that we felt shows were here. Mwah❤
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 ❤
This is making me cry! All the history from the past being shown, taught, the trials and brutality endured, the advancements from extremely hard work, the collaborations between communities, the amazing blend of cultures and love (and tension) between them, all of this is so overwhelming. It's amazing to see it. Watching this content is an experience! Love and appreciate all of you! Big up yourself!
@@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 ...

Thanks for the video. I’m an American and my friend and I weren’t that thrilled with our time in London. All the food we had was bland. We didn’t think people were particularly friendly either. Too bad we didn’t have tour guides who took us to these kinds of areas.
@@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?

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?
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.
2011...One day in London, en route to Paris and Italy...started at the tube, tower bridge, I saw the eye, a guard, Ate fish, chips and mash, St Pancreas...typical travel tourist stuff, pretty women around the city. I did have the wherewithal to go to Brixton because I heard that the basketball Luol Deng grew up there. This is the type of real travel to experience,,,a regular neighborhood with real Londoners. Didn't see much, but now I know to hit it next time.
I’ve lived near Brixton my whole life but never actually knew the history behind it, this was super interesting - thank you ✨ Next time you come you have to try the Caribbean food from New Tings and/or True Flavours on Acre Lane, not too far from where you were 🤍🤍
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!!!💜🧚🏿♀️💜
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!
Love Brixton, I’m white but my mates when I was much younger were black and I used to hang around there, Acre lane etc. I was always respectful and polite and was welcomed into the culture with open arms and on occasion love as well. Some of the best years of my life. I miss the area, the culture, the people. ✊🏼🙏🏼
The tour guide was spectacular, note on eating with injera use the role first and then the injera on the plate last that way it can all be consumed, less wasted and less mess on the actual plate
Don’t get it twisted not everyone didn’t want these people here, it’s made this country culturally rich, music, food, fashion, we’re world leaders, and regardless what you think you know, we mix well, went to same schools etc
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
It weird because I grew up in working class council estates in South West London and then in Manchester in my teens. But I am now guilty of sipping flat whites at these hipster coffee shops in places that were once very working class like Shoreditch and Battersea. I feel like I am part of the problem despite earning a modest salary if about 35k a year and only just managing to make ends meet living in London. I just happen to like the coffee in these places but some of the people that gentrify working class areas have nothing to do with the local residents who grew up there.
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.

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.

The tour guide was spectacular, note on eating with injera use the role first and then the injera on the plate last that way it can all be consumed, less wasted and less mess on the actual plate
Thank you for this insightful and educational video of Brixton.
Ace live, the youtuber was just in Brixton. Doing the same content. You guys should link up.
Yes!!! Ace is an exceptional travel vlogger.
He is such an engaging guide!!
Thank you ❤
I've not been Brixton since the 90s (Graffiti days) but will definitely be going to Pergola very soon
Would be a perfect tour to take with my family - see you soon Obi :)
Hi there Lady J, I enjoyed the Black History lesson. It's wonderful when you can learn something everyday! Continue to do your thang!
Would love more videos like this - amazing ❤️🥰🙌🏾
Don’t get it twisted not everyone didn’t want these people here, it’s made this country culturally rich, music, food, fashion, we’re world leaders, and regardless what you think you know, we mix well, went to same schools etc
Interesting history lesson. Great tour guide.
Great job sharing this content!
Man like Obi. I hadn't realised he was doing this. I live close to Brixton but definitely could do with a tour.
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
It weird because I grew up in working class council estates in South West London and then in Manchester in my teens. But I am now guilty of sipping flat whites at these hipster coffee shops in places that were once very working class like Shoreditch and Battersea. I feel like I am part of the problem despite earning a modest salary if about 35k a year and only just managing to make ends meet living in London. I just happen to like the coffee in these places but some of the people that gentrify working class areas have nothing to do with the local residents who grew up there.
thank you for this video!
