She is a passionate Black feminist who served as a Youth Observer for the UN Commission on the Status of Women and published the essay collection „Black Is Capitalized“ together with RosaMag in 2021.

“Let’s claim our space within institutions! I want to facilitate spaces where the voices of BIPOC working in city administrations are put at the center to shape an inclusive and antiracist society.”
