Dr. Irène Y. Kilubi, an Expert Advisor to the European Commission on Entrepreneurship, Innovation, and Digitalization, spoke to us from Germany. Irene shared her experiences as one of the first Black families to relocate to Germany from the Democratic Republic of Congo, and how she transitioned from the status quo to her current trajectory.

"Many were also jealous, other immigrants like people from Russia, from Poland, and from Turkey. So I faced more racism from non-German people than from German people. It's like minorities humiliating other minorities." - Dr. Irène Y. Kilubi
