This podcast—led and produced by Laila Marshall—examines our visit to the Joliba Interkulturelles Netzwerk, a non-profit association founded by Katharina Oguntoye in 1997. According to Oguntoye, Joliba aims to initiate and implement projects that promote intercultural coexistence and mutual understanding of people, especially psychosocial services for children and adolescents and families in the intercultural field, particularly African-German families in the district Kreuzberg-Friedrichshain.
Laila, who just finished her first year at Colorado College, is originally from Seattle, Washington, where she grew up with her parents and older sister. She plans on studying International Political Economy with a focus on Latin America and Classics. In her free time, she loves to sing, laugh, explore new places, and swim. She secretly hopes to someday open a restaurant and bake amazing bread.
Joining Laila in her discussion are Diana Muñoz and Dereka Thomas.
