Je Suis Noires
Becoming a Black Woman
As a featured speaker in the impactful documentary "Je suis noires," I had the privilege of sharing my experiences as a Black Swiss woman. In the film, I opened up about the emotional struggles I faced, revealing a deeply personal moments from my childhood and present. Through my speaking role, I aimed to highlight the pervasive effects of structural racism in Switzerland and bring attention to the challenges and discrimination that Black individuals continue to endure.
Being part of "Je suis noires" provided me with a platform to add my voice to a vital conversation on racial prejudice and its impact on our society. My insights, alongside those of other empowered women, contribute to a powerful narrative that explores how our society is still influenced by colonial legacies and racial biases.
