This podcast—led and produced by Avia Hailey, who is joined in discussion by Eileen Huang and Lauren Hough—examines our discussion with Jasmin Eding about Adefra, one of the first collectives dedicated to the empowerment of Black women in Germany during the mid-1980s. During this session, Jasmin, one if its earliest members, discussed the past and current work of the organization, growing up as a Black woman in Germany, and the legacies of May Ayim and Audre Lorde.
