What's it REALLY Like Being Black in Germany? π©πͺ π
Iβve always known Iβm Black, but moving to Germany made me confront my Blackness in ways I never expected. From awkward stares on the U-Bahn π to finding hair products that donβt make you look like you just got electrocuted β‘, the challenges of being Black in a predominantly white society are real. In this video, Iβm sharing the ups, downs, and surprising moments Iβve experienced during my 5 years in Germany.
Whether itβs being followed in stores, fielding curious questions about my skin and hair, or simply navigating the cultural differences, this journey has been eye-opening. But donβt get me wrongβitβs not all bad! There are incredible moments of connection, community, and joy here too. Iβve found African diaspora festivals πΆ, delicious food πΆοΈ, and spaces where I can proudly represent who I am.
