Workshop: Somatic Empowerment

November 13, 2023

Holistic approaches to combat everyday racism and discrimination. A workshop for Black, African & Afrodiasporic people as well as BIPoc.

Awareness Workshop: Speaking without Othering

Mai 26, 2025

Speaking Without Othering with Selin M. Rethinking Inclusion as a Felt Experience

We often talk about inclusion, but what if our words unintentionally create distance instead of connection?
In this workshop, we slow down and ask deeper questions: How do we speak with people, not about them? How can we welcome without demanding personal disclosure?

EquiNet Launch Event

Januar 26, 2026

Let’s network for equality – ending the year connected and empowered!
Economic exclusion is real, and many of us have experienced it this year.
Whether you’re a migrant or BIPOC entrepreneur, founder, freelancer, artist, or just starting out, we want to hear your needs and concerns.

Our new project EquiNet calls for more justice by empowering entrepreneurs from marginalized communities, helping businesses to turn diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) into action.

Before our official launch in early 2026, join us for our End-of-Year Networking Event:
Online: Tuesday, 18 November | 18:00–19:30
In Person: Thursday, 4 December | 18:00–21:00 | BIWOC* Rising Workspace
In-person: 18th December 18:30 – 20:30 EquiNet

Let’s gather, chat, and connect with like-minded changemakers to promote equality and diversify business ecosystems!

INTERSECTIONAL WORK & SOCIAL CLUB

BIWOC* Rising is the first intersectional work & social club in Berlin and Germany. This safer space is exclusively for women, trans, inter and non-binary people who identify as Black, indigenous or of Colour! Through training programs, empowerment workshops, and a work-desk in the heart of Berlin-Kreuzberg, BIWOC* Rising is creating a new working culture – a working culture that transcends the white, homogenous, capitalist one that has been a core driver of gentrification and marginalization in Berlin.
