BSAs aren’t just clubs , they’re a movement. And now we’re building the infrastructure to match. Welcome to the BSA North Star Hub A digital constellation where Black youth can connect, create, and lead — all year long. For youth. By youth. Guided by Sankofa. Follow the North Star.

The Level Up Project, delivered by Stolen From Africa and supported by United Way, creates space for Black youth to explore their rights, pathways, and the tools they need to thrive in school and beyond. This is what happens when community organizations and schools work together: Youth gain clarity. Families gain support. Systems gain accountability. In today’s Level Up session, we created a space to remember who we are: rooted, capable, connected. We learned the tools. We shared the truth. We built community in real time. Because when Black youth know their rights and know their history, systems have to shift. #stolenfromafrica #levelup #BSANorthStar

When school BSAs unite, the classroom transforms into a living network of empowerment. This collaboration between Stolen From Africa and Black Student Associations across the GTA took learning out of the classroom and into the community,right to the Raptors arena. Students shared what these moments mean to them: connection, representation, and the power of showing up together. Special thank you to our partner @kidsupfrontto we couldn’t have done this without you 🙌🏾💯 #StolenFromAfrica #BSAHub #BlackStudentAssociation #RaptorsGame #YouthEmpowerment #CulturalEducation #BlackExcellence #TorontoCommunity

Join us this Thursday, Sept 25th for the screening of IHAMBA — a powerful documentary amplifying the voices of the Batwa people of Uganda, also known as the “forest peoples.” Once guardians of the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, the Batwa were forcibly evicted in the early 1990s for gorilla conservation and tourism. IHAMBA puts their voices at the centre, exposing the human cost of conservation while celebrating their resilience, cultural memory, and ongoing fight for justice. Developed in close collaboration with Batwa communities, the film honours their deep connection to the forest as a source of food, medicine, and spirituality, a connection that cannot be erased. 📅 Thursday, Sept 25 | 7–9PM EST 📍 Society Clubhouse, 967 College St, Toronto 🎟️ Register FREE: Link in bio Come witness, reflect, and stand in solidarity. #IHAMBA #BatwaVoices #DecolonizeConservation #IndigenousRights #Ubuntu
