Episode 2: Born Here, Rooted There – Déesse's Story 🇩🇪🇨🇲🇧🇮


What does it mean to be born in Germany to parents from Cameroon and Burundi? In this powerful episode, Déesse shares her story of navigating identity, culture, and belonging as a second-generation migrant in Europe. From hair to language, from everyday racism to the question “Where are you really from?”, we unpack the layers of growing up in-between worlds.


A raw, honest, and reflective conversation on what it means to belong, and who gets to decide.
