Angelo Clyde Louw[1] (born 17 March 1987) is a South African author, filmmaker and activist. He began his career as a journalist for The Natal Witness and Playboy — and became the editor-in-chief of a national print publication (loveLife South Africa’s UNCUT) at the age of 25.[2] He has since served editorship at two other publications — including South Africa’s first magazine for queer people of colour, Gayle.
Louw and his film-making partner Malcolm Rainers have directed three documentaries focusing on environmental justice for climate awareness organisation Greenpeace.
In 2023, Louw collaborated with nonprofit publishing house Afrostory.org on his debut book, "The Problem with Black People", a collection of his thought-leadership which deal with issues around racism.
