Storytelling
Girls Empowering Girls
Welcome to “Storytelling”!
“Storytelling” offers Afro-diasporic girls a safe space to process their experiences with racism, discrimination, violence, and trauma. In this project, they experience empowerment and find support through the power of community as they transform their stories into artistic forms such as poetry, painting, or films. Creative expression not only promotes self-awareness, but also enables healing and strengthens self-confidence. Through this process, they create not only a place of solidarity, but also gain the strength to look positively toward a better future. Storytelling gives the girls the opportunity to raise their voices and see themselves as fighters of their own stories.
What we do:
We reach affected girls through community work in communities, schools, mosques, and other settings. We support them in developing their character and give them enough space for self-development. With clear guidelines, we facilitate coming together and collaboration. The girls contribute their own ideas and shape the rest independently. This is how we foster their creativity and self-realization.
Our goal:
With this project, we hope that Afro-diasporic girls will rediscover their dignity and strength through self-development and creative expression. We want to offer them a space where they can transform their pain and experiences with racism, discrimination, violence, and trauma into art and stories. Through solidarity and empowerment, we want to strengthen their self-love and self-worth so they can look toward a future they shape themselves with confidence and courage—full of hope, strength, and community.
