Black Girl in Germany: A Memoir About When I First Lived There

By McKenya Dilworth Smith

Black Girl in Germany is a poignant and insightful memoir that explores universal themes of coming of age in a foreign country while navigating the linguistic and social landscape. McKenya finished American high school in the 11th grade and spent what would have been her senior year as a Rotary Exchange student in Bremen, Germany. Her experiences of homelessness, prejudice, and intense joy resonate with readers from all walks of life. Having been told by her first host family that she was too dumb to learn German, she was resolved to master the language. McKenya is an adjunct teaching German at Ivy Tech Community College and takes students to Germany every two years.
