Images of Women of Colour in Germany

Daima is is a collection of selected black and white photographic portraits of twelve inspiring Black women who live and /or work in Germany. From intimate representations of two ladies confiding in each other, through lively group pictures of sistahs together, to beautiful individual portraits: this book captures their interactions in a variety of settings.
