The Emerge Project is a storytelling project
that highlights the ways in which Black entrepreneurs and community leaders drive growth and development at the grassroots level in South Africa and Brazil.
We use short films, photo essays, articles and blogs
to show the real people and the real movements that are driving change at the grassroots level, with an initial focus on Johannesburg, South Africa and Salvador, Brazil.

Through The Hub Presents Alex, he challenges people–both locals and tourists–to see the beauty and passion and vibrancy that live within Alexandra. To see the kasi of vibe. The kasi of rhythm. The kasi of authentic heritage and culture. The kasi of authentic people. What do you see?
