Feminism, sexuality and politics are the three topics most discussed and presented in Jabu’s work, from her photography to her films and web series, The Foxy Five, an intersectional feminist show from a black South African perspective through the voices of five women. Jabu started writing The Foxy Five in 2015 during Fees Must Fall, a protest in response to the proposed rise of education fees in South Africa, with the show later developing into an archive where the topics black women in South Africa are talking about today can be accessed: “I wanted to show how the political was personal and how the youth of South Africa were far from apathetic. I wanted to give black women an understanding of feminism from their perspective and try to create truthful and sincere representations of us.” Born out of sense of despair and hopelessness towards political and social injustices, the process of writing the show allowed Jabu to replace those disparate feelings with ones of love and strength in sharing the stories of herself and others as they discuss concepts and ideas surrounding sexuality, gender, race, class and politics.
