∆ I am bringing in 7 years of experience of organizing the Miss Africa Germany (African Queen). Deutschland has in recent years developed into a multicultural society. Though indeed a pure beauty pageant, the goal is to integrate the positive energy of Africans into the German cultural landscape and to further raise our profile within this multicultural setting.
Africans meet Politicians
In collaboration with Mr Desmond John Beddy of TopAfric and SPD Hamburg, I organized a political forum for Africans to meet and rub minds with politicians representing constituencies where they live both at local and national levels. At the first inaugural meeting were Aydan Özogus; Federal Member of Parliament, Ksenija Bekeri; Hamburg Member of Parliament; Funda Gär and Neithard Genz; Regional representatives amongst others. This I intend to make a regular feature in a broad base political coalition from our inauguration.
Sports and Social Activities
I will bring in my humble little experience in sports management. I co-initiated the NCG Football Club Hamburg which I am currently the Sport Director. NCG is a multi-ethnic and multi-cultural football club for all lovers of soccer. NCG FC is a member of Hamburg Sport Bund (HSB), Hamburger Football Verband (HFV) both affiliate to German Football Federation (DFB). Today NCG FC is ranking first on their league table and Face Book members of NCG FC boasts of national and international professional footballers and prominent personalities including Olaf Scholz, the Bürgermeister of Hamburg.
