In mid-March, we hosted “Community building,” our second event of the year, at Soho House Berlin. We interviewed Naima Nazir, co-founder of ROOTS Berlin and Richard Akingbehin, co-founder of Refuge Worldwide about the creation of their platforms catered to underrepresented communities.

Our guest speakers shared with us how they were able to bring people together through radio shows, healing, and creative workshops despite the recent global health crisis and with limited resources when they first started. They discussed the difficulty of having to maintain a day job while managing their teams in the past. They’ve also explained to a captivated audience how, over time, the combination of financial aid and brand partnerships has given them the freedom to dedicate themselves to the growth of their respective communities and their own personal creative journeys.

Browse a selection of photos and extracts from the panel discussion. Make sure to stay tuned for the next DADDY event.
