Real recognizes real is moving away from “supporting” young businesses to showing young talent that their work is seen.

The Top 16 Youth-Owned Brands Awards understands that young people are fighting an economical fight. 

In the high rise of unemployment in the 18-35 age group, these awards recognize the ones trying to make a difference.

They are CREATORS of businesses, brands and most importantly employment. 

They are the DRIVERS of this economy. They are bringing change. The Underdogs, the Hustlers, the Creators and they are more than Movers and Shakers.

They are our ancestors wildest dreams.

We see you, siyakuvuma!
