Whatever crosses your mind when you think of ‘German history’ is likely the same version that I learnt from textbooks and by spending time in Berlin as a teen.

I published one blog post a week for 104 consecutive weeks.

After a 7-hour train journey from Frankfurt, I arrived in Ruhpolding, ready for the Speakery Summit conference.

Living in Frankfurt has become so normal that I actually forgot my nine-year Germanniversary!

I flew to London for the Black Ballad Weekender, a two-day festival to celebrate a decade of Black Ballad – a platform that publishes articles, holds events and collects data for and by Black women.

Digitalisation and bureaucracy dragged Germany down to an embarrassing 49th out of 53 places for The Best & Worst Places for Expats report in 2023.

I have never felt as good as I do when leaving a hair salon as I do when leaving House of Bluecherry.

I rocked up to a snug, living-room bar in Frankfurt’s Ostend on a Saturday evening.

After living near Oederweg for nearly five years, I am convinced that it is the place to be for lovers of the city life who enjoy a consistent touch of community.

I’ve spent years telling you how great life in Frankfurt is.
