In a letter dated July 12, 1986 to Caribbean American feminist and poet Audre Lorde, Afro-German author and educator Marion Kraft wrote, \u201cOur experiences might be very different, indeed but more important for me was to recognize the commonalities, the discrimination and oppression Black women are facing all over the world, but also their strength, their creativity in various fields \u2013 and their dedication to life!\u201d Traveling throughout Europe in the 1980s and 1990s, Lorde served as a role model and influenced numerous Black European communities. In her talk, Dr. Florvil contends that Lorde\u2019s exchanges and connections with Afro-German women, such as Marion Kraft, May Ayim, and Katharina Oguntoye, were multidirectional and offered these women an affective and intellectual community.<\/span><\/p>\n
