Who are you?
I am a proud Black queer demifemme, embracing the richness of my identity. Beyond my roles as Community Manager and Coach, I lead RESET MOM, a healing circle dedicated to supporting Black girls and women with eating disorders. As a survivor myself, this work holds deep personal significance. Navigating the intersections of work and mental health empowers me, cultivating a sense of inclusivity and empowerment within our community.

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.
