A day in the life of a Black German is explored, offering a glimpse into the unique cultural experiences and perspectives of living in Germany as a person of color. This video provides insights into the joys, challenges, and everyday moments that contribute to the richness of this individual's life.
We also meet Oumsy an inspiring African migrant who is changing the narrative. Umar has opened a community center in an impoverished Berlin neighborhood, home to both German and migrant families. His mission? To help the youth, bring people together, and foster positive change in a mixed community. During our visit, Oumsy gave us a neighborhood tour, including a stop at the historic Berlin Wall, where history and modern struggles intersect.
