Living Black in Germany: Experiences, Challenges & the Beauty. #blackingermany #africandiaspora
What's it REALLY Like Being Black in Germany? 🇩🇪 🌍
I’ve always known I’m Black, but moving to Germany made me confront my Blackness in ways I never expected. From awkward stares on the U-Bahn 🚇 to finding hair products that don’t make you look like you just got electrocuted ⚡, the challenges of being Black in a predominantly white society are real. In this video, I’m sharing the ups, downs, and surprising moments I’ve experienced during my 5 years in Germany.
Whether it’s being followed in stores, fielding curious questions about my skin and hair, or simply navigating the cultural differences, this journey has been eye-opening. But don’t get me wrong-it’s not all bad! There are incredible moments of connection, community, and joy here too. I’ve found African diaspora festivals 🎶, delicious food 🌶️, and spaces where I can proudly represent who I am.
💬 What’s your experience? If you’re Black in Germany or just curious, I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments! Let’s start a conversation about what it means to navigate these unique challenges while celebrating the richness of diversity.
👉 Topics in this video:
The reality of being Black in Germany
Cultural differences and microaggressions 😕
Finding community and celebrating diversity 🎉
The struggle to find good hair and skincare products 💇🏾♀️
Personal stories about dealing with stares, questions, and more.

Danke sehr Frau Oghene Ach ja, ich warte. Und können wir uns reden über Chancekarte bitte 🙏
Planning on coming as a Medical doctor and a farmer, do you think I will have the opportunity to practice farming there?
did you end up getting a DAAD scholarship or you got your source of livelihood from part-time/student jobs from the beginning?
I had funds in a bliocked account. After that, I worked as an intern then a working student position.
Hi dear, thank you for sharing your experience and showing us your beautiful space. I’m new in Hamburg and I’ve been searching for a decent place to rent but then it’s been so challenging. How did you manage?? We got an agent but still the struggle is real so I thought to ask here
Finding an apartment in Hamburg is truly quite difficult. For us we searched on platforms like Immobilienscout24.de,immowelt.de, Saga, and even Facebook. But we also told every single person we know that we are looking for an apartment. We finally got this one through word of mouth. Someone told us a friend of theirs Was moving out. I hope you find one soon.
Never thought about that, but hair care or even skin care could be hard to find, as there was a little market in Germany so far.
Please i love to speak with you one one one
You can send me an email at naijagirlingermany@gmail.com
Guttan Tag monfrere!!
You should try being “black” in China. You will just give up 😢 I don’t care anymore 😅
Whew, I can only imagine
It's not necessarily about Germany, people are always unsatisfied with whatever they have.
Maybe she or he wanted creating a fake champagner 🍾🥂😁😉
Maybe 😂
Schöne Idee, noch nie im Bus gesehen. Liest du schon Bücher auf deutsch?
noch nicht, aber bald wird mein Deutsch gut genug sein, um ein ganzes Buch auf Deutsch zu lesen.
@@Naijagirlingermany Ich wünsche dir ganz viel Freude dabei.
Das stimmt, der Herbst kam von einem Tag auf den nächsten, wirklich unglaublich dieses Jahr.
My first time in Germany i went to a shop to get some stuff at the sight of me holding a 500Euro single note by the sales girl,she felt so uncomfortable and she took the bill to her boss to crosscheck wether is a counterfeit,especially from a black person.On my own part i was just observing and smiling at same time,later they came to apologize for taking so much time to answer me,that was 2012..
🤣😂🤣😂 a whole 500euro cash. How dare you 🤣😂🤣
@@Naijagirlingermany It was later I realized that such bill is not common even in Germany,😃😃
This actually has nothing to do with your race. The notes are just not common
By our skin color, are we really black or brown? I don't look black though 😅😅😅
😅😅😅

Preach sis 👍. Rest no be sleep 😁
❤ 🎉
You have come a long way. Funny thing is I applied for Masters in Architecture at Wismar for SS 2019 but didnt get in, but got something else at the south.
Very poetic ❤
Do you remember ? We used to eat food with broken plates. When I told my sister to bring broken plates from the kitchen, she would bring broken plates that were actually not broken. Still, for us, they were called broken plates. Now, that I am old, I know that they are called breakable plates. Despite that awareness, if I should visit home, I still would tell the people at home to bring me broken plates when it time to eat food.
This is quite nostalgic. Broken plate 🤣😅🤣🤣
Lovely video. I particularly enjoyed how you narrated your traivails with ABH. I now know there is a salary threshold, below which is not acceptable. Did you apply in English all through even when the advert says German is required? How did you navigate the job search?
