*EXPLICIT CONTENT - allegations child sex abuse and mention of derogatory homophobic slurs.  Intended for mature audiences only.  Please take care while listening. 

Josh was born into the MOVE organization in 1992 as the 6th child of longtime MOVE members Mo and Mary Africa.  Josh alleges that his childhood was not guided by his parents , but instead controlled by the leader of MOVE, Alberta Africa and  her 2nd in command, Ria.  He says that his childhood was one of intentional neglect with regard to education and that MOVE's doctrine established an environment for inappropriate sexual behavior that could be considered sexual abuse.   After 26 years, Josh cut his MOVE dreadlocks and his ties to the "family" organization he alleges is a cult.  This is his story of breaking the cycle.
