Courageously, the author bares her psychological wounds and offers a glimpse into the everyday lives of Black women in thirteen touching short stories. Amongst other subjects, she tackles a persistently denied issue even in present times: Everyday racism and microaggressions. Readers are entreated to acknowledge racism, speak out against it, and lead by example. This empowering book's words will undoubtedly reverberate in the reader's mind for an extended period, leaving an enduring impact.»Today, I call upon you to embrace your beautiful skin with boundless pride. No more shame, no more hiding, and no more succumbing to the allure of bleaching. Unapologetically showcase the world your Black skin, wear your battle scars and triumphs with dignity. Let us now resound with fervor, and may our voices never again be hushed to silence!«

Her 1st book, »Bittersüßes Chaos«, was published in September 2022, followed by her 2nd book, »Meine Haut packt aus«, in January 2023. This secured her 2nd place at the Book Awards in March 2023. After her recent success, she had the honor of hosting readings in Germany, Spain, and Portugal, allowing her to connect with the audience on a deeper level by sharing touching moments of pain, strength, and vulnerability.Brigitte has been overjoyed by the influx of positive feedback and international interest, which inspired her to release an English version of »Meine Haut packt aus«. She hopes to reach even more people by inviting them to reconsider and reflect on the effects and consequences of racism, as well as to inspire people to contribute to making the world a more peaceful and loving place.
