BIWOC* Rising’s Year in Review & 2025 Vision

Dear Community, dear Friends,

 

2024 – what a year! Full of challenges, energy, and moments that made us even stronger as a community. From our shared Iftar in March to our Anniversary & Booklet Launch in November, this year has been a rollercoaster that showed us: community becomes more important year after year, month after month.

 

We’ve had not only unforgettable events but also built intensive networks, taken bold steps in new directions, and said goodbye to dear people. But as we look back, we feel: the next chapter is already calling – and we have big plans ahead.

 

What moved us in 2024? What can we expect in 2025? And what have we achieved together that will have a lasting impact? We share all this and more in this year’s review. So make yourself comfortable and join us on a journey through a year of change and solidarity…

EquiNet Prelaunch – End of Year Networking Event
November 3, 2025

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

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

Lasst uns für Gleichberechtigung vernetzen – und das Jahr verbunden und gestärkt beenden!
Ökonomische Ausgrenzung ist real, und viele von uns haben sie in diesem Jahr erlebt.
Ob migrantische oder BIPoC entrepreneur*in, Gründer*in, Freiberufler*in, Künstler*in oder in den ersten Schritten dazu – wir möchten eure Bedürfnisse und Anliegen hören.

Unser neues Projekt EquiNet will mehr Gerechtigkeit fördern, in dem wir Unternehmer*innen aus marginalisierten Communities stärken und Unternehmen dabei unterstützen, Vielfalt, Chancengleichheit und Inklusion (DEI) in die Praxis umzusetzen.

Vor dem offiziellen Start Anfang 2026 laden wir euch zu unserem End-of-Year Networking Event ein:
Online: Dienstag, 18. November | 18:00–19:30
Vor Ort: Donnerstag, 4. Dezember | 18:00–21:00 | BIWOC* Rising Workspace

Lasst uns zusammenkommen, uns austauschen und gemeinsam DEI fördern und in unternehmerische Ökosysteme vielfältiger machen!

Mindfulness can support us in both life and work, helping us notice, pause, and build healthier patterns. In this session, Ly Pham from bcom.social will guide participants through what mindfulness is (and what it isn’t), what kinds of changes it can bring, and simple practices to take home or into the workplace.

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.
