THE TEAM
A variety of different motivations drove the founding
of ROOTS Berlin in 2020.
Our shared goal was clear: we aim for a fairer and
more inclusive society. Central to this mission is the creation of safer spaces for the Community of Color. These spaces serve not only as gathering points
but also as platforms for breaking down barriers, bolstering self-confidence, and processing trauma.
Our direct community work, combined with our broad range of expertise in areas such as social entrepreneurship, communication, event management, art direction, and diversity management, allows us to initiate positive changes in various ways. What makes our time at ROOTS particularly remarkable are the experiences we have shared – whether it is the establishment and development of our offerings, the successful collaboration with other organizations, or the inspiring encounters with members of our community. Every event and challenge has strengthened us as a team and motivated us to continue passionately and determinedly advocating for a fairer society.
