“Before becoming a BIT member in July 2023, I felt kind of "empty and lonely" because I was pretty "new" in Germany (arrived 4 years earlier in January 2019), had to navigate the hurdles of settling and "fitting-in" almost on my own. Joining BIT has been the best decision I have made so far because the community not only provides the psychological and emotional support I need, but I feel a sense of inner satisfaction whenever I assist a community member navigate challenges directly or indirectly. The BIT community presents a very powerful platform that provides a support system and an unimaginable pool of black tech-professionals and tech networks. I am grateful to be an active part of the community's mission and vision.”

“This community has been a HUGE source of support and encouragement since moving here from Washington DC for a job opportunity. It has been absolutely invaluable to have a community of likeminded black professionals to connect with getting settled in a new city. From sharing insights about navigating an unfamiliar job market/work culture, to inviting me to events and activities, to giving words of encouragement and support when dealing with day-to-day challenges of Berlin life. Everyone in the BITB community has been endlessly generous with their time, knowledge and wisdom. For example, I once just randomly reached out to the group for advice about an upcoming government appointment after scouring the internet for days trying to gather information on my own. Not only did multiple people reach out with tips for navigating the (notoriously confusing) German bureaucracy, but one of our community organizers, Aretas, volunteered to tag along with me before work to translate and help me get through the process smoothly. Although I’m still relatively new to the community, I look forward to continuing to connect with the community in new ways and to pay it forward by being a source of support for other black professionals in the Berlin tech scene.“
