Want to know what it is like to be an African American expat in Germany? One sister, Rose-Anne Clermont wrote a book about it:
Basically, the book “Busch Girl” traces my experiences being a black woman in Germany over the last ten years. Many people can’t believe some of the experiences, but it’s all true and written in a humorous tone.
One of the small anecdotes from the book was recorded on NPR Berlin, the link to that is here:
