Thank you Micha. Thank you Brixton Soup Kitchen. Despite my son being a victim of the culture. People like you and BSK still make me proud to be of Brixton 🖤👊🏾
Absolutely love the Brixton soup Kitchen team doing great work and continue to do for the community❤
Big up Micah. Great guy. Doing amazing work
This was an excellent watch and completely challenged my preconceptions about Brixton.
Thanks for watching and subscribing if you did 👊🏻
20 years too late. Brixton has been gentrified.
I was thinking that,maybe even 30.
@@patmann9363 Yes, closer to 30 years.
Is that whay you call it when people.try make a sh*t hole a nice place 😂😂😂
@@Jh19999 first explain to me why it became a shit-hole in the first place. U don't think racism, slavery, exploitation,, war, police injustice, school resource scarcity, in and out of council estates with mould and a landlord that dont give s sh*t , wars going on in home countries was part of that. Instead of building community infrastructures, youth clubs, football / sport cages, investing it back into the people , putting homeless people back on to their feet. translating talent to business. they'd rather make profit by demolishing and investing into new apartments and buildings ,overprice everything and then rent them to richer people.
Never too late for change
Wot a guy!! Really need people like like this!! Complete bridge building an truly a key figure in the community!! Lovely to see.

Great vid, important people actually show the community cause its the best thing about all these areas in London that have so much violence, its the unity and love that keeps people pushing.
I just had to subscribe!! This was great content ! I see Brixton differently after watching this , a lot has changed. Micah and the resource team they are doing well for the community in Brixton. He needs to be nominated for an award for helping people in the community. It's not easy to give support to people in the community with limited resources . Nice on what the newspaper has done to help Micah with having a vehicle to compound in making waves in progress and continuous success in endeavours for the community, Love it 😎 🙏
"Micah and Company" keep doing what you're doing . Well done 👏 ✔️ 👍 😎❤
Awww love this well done. And love that Keelen was apart of it 🥰 RIP SON 🙏🏽🕊️💙
Thanks to Micah for showing me around and letting me share his story. He spoke really highly of your family. My condolences 🙏🏻

I dont recognise Bricki anymore. I remember the Brixton riots clear as day, i used to go Burntwood school and my friend who lived there was stuck on the 133 bus watching it all. Got some of my best memories from Bricki x

I'm 50 now and was 8 when I moved on to fairbairn green myatts field estate and moved out when I was 32.
Had the best time growing up living here it will always call Brixton home.
Couldn't believe how much it changed when I went back to see a pal who still lives there.
We t Stockwell park school and Slade green was our playground I remember Andy blonde haired guy used to run the place in and the ice 10p ice cup.

Welcome to Brixton I’m in a party with Barbie’s and drillers
It’s so good showing this; I never this side to south ldn areas. Everyone whose isn’t affected jt and or more affluent would be in similar environment but not of the working class community.
Best journalist In the game!
Cheers bro! It’s been a minute 👊🏻
Me & friends stayed in Brixton for the night in 2019 we went to the electric to see sonny fordra we had the best night ever .💃💃💃💃💙from Liverpool..
Love the scousers would love to check out some of the places there. Maybe soon 😅
My Late Grandmother lived in the Borough when only one Ethnic Group lived there.
I use to work in Loughborough junction it was nice
I worked there as assistant manager in one is shop. Security next to door was must... Still stealing sometimes physical attacks were happening but otherwise I miss that place. A lot of lovely people from different cultures.
Brixton has different sides to it, and how you get to experience it depends. Generally it's become gentrified over the years. Its still very lively, interesting people, great food, nice independent shops. Its still a nice vibe. Yes It has a deprived side too, but again..." deprived" also has spectrums. Despite some of its issues, I dont think you can call yourself a South Londoner and not know Brixton, or have some slight affection for the place😊
What about the abeng centre if you know you know..
Ya dun know!!!
It's odd because I was born in Brixton in 1967 and have lived there all my life just off front line I can tell you some stories lol
refreshing non clickbait/stereotype video
That’s what it’s all about man
This documentary is so true. Hopefully, things change for the better after this election.
Bless up bro Good Vibes
Legend, my guy 👊🏻 let’s cook
That building was built wrong the artitec killed her self because of that
This is community! If only everyone, everywhere took care of their fellow neighbors. 💞
Right!
Good watch✔️
Thanks!

Love hearing these stories! Cheers for subscribing if you did

Dressing up Brixton in St George’s colours is mad, it is deffo a Union Jack ting
What, it’s in England?
@@WesleyWinter. it’s Britain but if you’re appealing to English demographics good on u
@@damnft8218 anyone and everyone bro, cheers for watching tho and subscribing if you did 👊🏻
nope your in england son we fly our st george's flag
Love Brixton, my youth was hanging around Acre Lane eating West Indian food and checking the many record shops there back in the day.
Lovely multi racial community where people got on.
It was fine if you were respectful and polite.
Bottom line is don’t be a bell end and you won’t draw attention.
Looks like it’s changed with gentrification for the worse though.
All them hedge fund managers come in and contribute nothing to the community.
Cheers for checking it out and subscribing if you did 👊🏻
David Bowie and Ex Prime Minister John Major were born in Brixton.
Close. John Major wasn't born in Brixton, but he did move there when he was 12 or so.
I thought David was born in Bromley
@@keepingitrealandtruthful.5081 No, Bowie is definitely Brixton (Stansfield Road, specifically -- it's marked on Google Maps). He did grow up in Bromley though.
That's why there's a Ziggy Stardust mural right by the Brixton tube entrance on Tunstall Road. When he passed in 2016, Londoners flocked there upon hearing the news. Lots of clips here of that if you search for "David Bowie Brixton"
You must make content like wanndrring turnip too you found youur niche on yt😅
Bro appreciate it man! We’ve come a long way. More to come
gang love ma ppl
BRUSSELS BELGIUM
Wow!
My friend was born in Britton in 1937,and was. All white back than.
The Carribbean communities moved in whites moved out ,most English left the East end and many parts of London to Essex white flight .
If you’re in a kitchen, why are you covered in paint?
Rich culture 😂.
Dangerous?
Brixton is trendy AF. Anyone can go there any time they want.
Those young fools play the fool with one another and that’s it.
Brixton is NICE. Why so much money is moving in.
It was better than I expected. Definitely not how it’s portrayed on the news. Good people too
That’s because it’s gentrified. You don’t go to the parts where he filmed which is why u think it’s safe. Pure ignorance
@@carlitoclout65exactly. And going to any part of Brixton was Risky bk in da 80s ,90s and early 2000s. Mandem was robbing everything moving there was no cameras bk then.
Exactly I was going to say. Brixton has been gentrified I grew up there and things started changing when they bought Costa and starbucks over
Personally I prefer Mitcham,Wimbledon, Sutton and Croydon. Brixton has far too many estates. There are Much better areas in South London.
Croydon? 😂
@@VolKNo0 some parts of Croydon are nice it’s a big borough.
@@ashconbeats8414 parts of it yes, but certainly not most of it.
Wouldn’t accept a donation from The Sun. Nasty organisation
I just cant take uk hood seriously man it just too clean here in France we have real ghetto
It’s not the struggle olympics
I’m not even gonna bother watching this. I thought this would be an interesting documentary about the history, the culture and nightlife of Brixton. But yet again, another sensationalist, expose of knife crime and violence in Brixton. Yes, it has its areas that are extreme and you probably would not want to live in. But Brixton is a very big area. If you look on the map it’s split up into North South East and West. I’ve managed to live in Brixton for 40+ years seen. Most of the changes experienced a riot and now over the last 20+ years, it has very much been gentrified like any inner city area you apply with them to where you go. In my experience it’s no more dangerous than going to parts of Hackney, Houston, Haringey Southall. or some parts of New York.
You couldn’t be more wrong even watching the first 5 minutes you would know it’s not about that
Brixton has changed from black in recent to White gentrification the area is not what it used to be and house prices are unaffordable . No born and bred left in brixton. Most English live in Essex to live amongst thier own kind. Multiculturalism has deeply failed in the UK.
its failed everywhere
This interview should have been so much more interesting. Felt like Micah was just talking to himself…
Rich history of culture is destroying the place 😂
Bruv good see someone showing the ends in a positivity……RiP to all the young-ups caught up in the madness and 🙏🏾 for better days. 🫡
That’s what I’m trying to do more of. Thanks for checking it out bro 🙏🏻
I’d love for you to help me set up something where I can train young boys and girls to plaster and decorate do a little bit of multi trade just so I can get a tickets once they have them. They’re laughing
Help them get their tickets not me sorry I have my tickets
