Social media and streaming platforms have changed the way we consume content or watch TV and YouTube sensations Birth of Stars are part of that new wave.

--

If you are a fan of reality TV, then you will enjoy the new and unique show.

PROUDLY LGBTQI Birth of Stars is a proudly LGBTQI reality show based on the lives of three young creatives and social media content creators, Coachella Randy, Kamo WW and Kagiso Mogola.

South African Fashion Designer and show co-founder Orapeleng Modutle mentions that starting the reality show was his passion, as he wanted to showcase the organic talent of the young creatives to the world and nurture their careers.

--

WHY THE NAME BIRTH OF STARS'? The name Birth of Stars originates from the idea of these three individuals seeing a new life of being social media sensations and what that means for their growing careers.

Orapeleng adds that the main objective of the show is to inspire and touch the lives of young queer people.

We want the audience to be able to have a reflection of themselves and see that it is possible to break into any industry they aspire to be in.

WHAT CAN VIEWERS EXPECT? When watching this show, viewers can expect fresh and larger-than-life personalities from these three individuals just like their content on their social media platforms. Some moments on the show include them attending events and engaging with their friends and famous personalities such as Moghelingz.

Birth of Stars can be watched on YouTube and each season will consist of six episodes. Each episode will be 25 minutes long and available every second Friday of the month at midnight.

Not only does this show aim to entertain viewers but also aims to benefit the LGBTQI community through full representation and breaking homosexual stereotypes.
