Meet in Kleistpark, where you will discuss the historical connections of botanical gardens to the slave trade in the 16th century and the intersections with colonialism in the so-called golden age of the Americas and Europe.

Embark on a journey of discovery to revolutionary figures such as May Ayim and Audre Lorde, whose contributions to feminist movements still resonate. Create a space where the voices and experiences of BiPOC women are not suppressed, but proudly proclaimed to pave the way for a more inclusive future within the context of leadership.

Explore topics such as intersectionality and religion in the German-American church by looking at religion historically as a tool of oppression, but also discussing church as a place of healing and Black Joy for the Black community.

Examine the impact of American influence during the occupation of Berlin by Western nations and recognize how marginalized communities, inspired by the works of Audre Lorde, found self-confidence and resilience. Engage with the poetry of Audre Lorde as you visit the gravesites of significant figures such as Ika Hügel-Marshall and May Ayim and explore their Afro-German identity.

Conclude your journey in Großgörschenstraße, where you will reflect on the impact of racism on mental health and the emergence of Großgörschenstraße as a refuge for marginalized communities, highlighting the critical importance of community.
