“Machst du mit?” ist ein Raum zur Begegnung und zum Austausch für alle Schwarzen und afrodiasporischen Menschen. Ein Raum, in dem all das, was woanders keinen Platz findet, zum Ausdruck gebracht und geteilt werden darf.

Die Gesprächsgruppenleitung übernimmt Benjamin (er/ihm). Er lebt seit 2012 in Berlin, ist Psychologe (M.Sc.) und Psychologischer Psychotherapeut (VT) und arbeitet psychotherapeutisch mit Kindern, Jugendlichen und Erwachsenen.

Topic: Unmasking*

In our April session, we talked all things Masking, Unmasking & Code Switching, and how these seemingly different practices often intersect within the Black neurodivergent experience. However one evening wasn’t enough to unpack all we had to share on the topic, so by popular demand, this time, you’re invited to share positive stories of unmasking.

Black & Afrodiasporan neurodivergent people are not only often underdiagnosed or diagnosed late, but are also faced with additional hurdles, stereotypes and ascriptions in a white, neuronormative majority society on a daily basis. Even in Black or neurodiverse safer spaces and communities, it is difficult to feel a full sense of belonging, to arrive or to find community and understanding.

Language: This Sharing Circle’s main language will be spoken English. If you understand English but are more comfortable expressing yourself in German at times, please also feel welcome to attend.
