 “Having grown up in Zimbabwe all my life, moving to the Netherlands was exciting but daunting. One of the things that I struggled with was trying to orient myself in spaces where I was the minority, or spaces where my voice wasn’t always valued. It’s something I’d never mentally prepared myself for, because I always thought the adjustment would come easily. However, finding safe spaces and communities with Black people, through my college, student associations in Rotterdam and the Hague made me feel that I wasn’t alone.I never knew how important the African diaspora would be for me, in terms of creating relationships, networking and having a sense of home. The beauty I’ve found in black togetherness in the Netherlands here has shown me that even when I am thousands of miles away from home, I have a home and community here with people who will always support and stand by me.”  Rumbidzo Dangarembizi Student Ambassador, University of Leiden |
