Early life
Ayo H. Kimathi was born in Southeast Washington, D.C., on December 2, 1973. He was the only son born to a single-parent mother. He was raised in SE Washington, D.C., in an apartment complex called Marbury Plaza. Kimathi attended Anne Beers Elementary School. He went to junior high school at Brown Junior High School in NE Washington, D.C. He attended high school at Dunbar Sr. High School in NW Washington, D.C. He graduated from an out-of-state private school in 1991 and attended Hampton University for college. He graduated from Hampton University in 1995 with a degree in finance.
While in elementary school, he listened to 1450 WOL am on a daily basis before and after school. In doing so, Kimathi became greatly influenced by Cathy Hughes as a Black entrepreneur and Dick Gregory as a Black information resource. He also fell in love with a program by Listervelt Middleton called 'For the People.' The influence these two programs had on Kimathi were central to the political and racial positions he would eventually take in his adult life.
While in high school, Kimathi became close friends with a Jamaican girl who told him about her experience being sexually abused as a child. According to Kimathi, after hearing this story, he went on to hear many accounts from young Black girls of their sexual rape as children. And these stories shared some commonalities - namely that most of these girls were raped by someone in their family and they never shared the story with their fathers for fear they would kill their rapists and go to jail.
He graduated high school in 1991 and enrolled in Hampton University.
Work Life
In 1995, Kimathi took a job as a Small Business Specialist for the Department of the Navy. He worked there until 2003 when he quit to write the book, 'War on the Horizon -Black Resistance to the white-sex Assault' which he released in 2005. In 2009, after 6 years doing lectures and acting as a part-time real estate agent, Kimathi returned to the U.S. Government Immigration Customs Enforcement (ICE) in the capacity of assisting small businesses in winning contracts. He was eventually fired in December 2013 for his lecture work done under the pseudonym "Irritated Genie of Soufeese." The 'Irritated Genie' is the title of a book authored by Jacob Carruthers and it refers to the spirit of the Black people who fought in the Haitian Revolution. 'Soufeese' is a take-off of the region of Washington, D.C., where Kimathi grew up, Southeast.
During his tenure with Positive Kemetic Visions (PKV) from 1994 to 2009, Kimathi produced numerous lectures focusing on racial conflict between Black people and whites. The most popular of these lectures is the "Effeminization of the Black Male" which he routinely performs in different cities around the United States of America and foreign countries. The primary focus of this lecture is his assertion that homosexuality and pedophilia are weapons used by whites to target the Black race for destruction and genocide.
In 2009, Kimathi left PKV and started his own organization called War on the Horizon (WOH). Since then he has continued to lecture around the world and produce DVD videos concentrating on race relations and fighting homosexuality and pedophilia in the Black world community.
In August 2015, he joined a newly formed movement called the Straight Black Pride Movement (SBPM). In September 2015, Kimathi traveled to Bermuda to perform his Effeminization of the Black Male lecture. In this lecture, Effeminization of the Black Male in Bermuda, he spoke to the audience about the SBPM. As a result of this lecture, the Minister of Home Affairs for Bermuda, Michael Fahy, officially banned the Ayo Kimathi from the country for 5 years. On December 18, 2015, the Human Rights Commission of Bermuda submitted Kimathi a complaint about the lecture he gave in Bermuda where he stated that Black men should only date and marry Black women and that homosexuality originated from white Europeans along with other forms of “sexual deviance” including child molestation, bestiality and rape.
