Show notes

I speak with a trailblazing actress turned publisher, Dayan Kodua who is redefining diversity in German media and children's books. She shares her incredible journey from acting in German productions, to writing her first book and launching her own publishing company, focused on stories that celebrate Black identity and multiculturalism. We delve into her experiences confronting stereotypes in the entertainment industry, the struggles of Black Germans finding representation, and her mission to foster collective support within the Black community. This episode is an inspiring testament to resilience, self-determination, and the importance of creating spaces that empower future generations.
