Hi there,
Hi there, my name is Tallulah Patricia Bär, welcome to AfroSwissters.
Growing up as a Black woman in Switzerland, often far from vibrant, diverse communities, I longed for a deeper sense of belonging. It wasn’t until my time in the UK that I truly felt the power of a connected Black community—a feeling I carried back with me when I returned to Switzerland in 2019.
In 2020, I helped bring ADAN (Afro Deutsches Akademiker Netzwerk) to Switzerland and led its Zurich community from 2021 to 2023. Yet, even then, I felt a quiet but persistent longing for a space specifically for Black women—a space to connect, reflect, and thrive.
AfroSwissters was born from that longing. It’s more than a platform—it’s a home for shared stories, cultural exchange, and unapologetic joy. I’ve always moved between worlds, and my goal is to build bridges between them—celebrating both our roots and our reach.
This is the journey. I’m so glad you’re here.
About Tallulah
Born and raised in Switzerland, with roots from Ghana and Egypt, Tallulah often moved through spaces where she didn’t see herself reflected. Over time, that quiet absence turned into a clear intention: to build what was missing. AfroSwissters is her way of creating room—for shared experiences, meaningful conversations, and collective healing.
Her work is rooted in connection. Whether hosting intimate roundtables, bringing people together across borders, or simply listening with presence, Tallulah cares about what’s underneath: the why, the who, the story behind the story.
She believes in soft power, in building slowly and intentionally, and in the strength that comes from being both curious and clear. AfroSwissters isn’t just a project—it’s part of her own becoming.
And through it, she hopes to offer others the same: a space to show up fully, speak freely, and thrive together.
