The Black Lives Matter movement has shaken society and driven forward change. Also in Germany. But black FLINTA (female, lesbians, inter, non-binary, trans, agender) who live in Germany rarely see themselves and their own stories represented. 20 Black FLINTAs tell intimately and relentlessly what their reality is like in this country and what goals and future visions they dream of. In their texts they break with stereotypes, encourage rethinking and create a space for their own identities.
