This week on Two Black Girls in Berlin, we sit down with Cora, co-founder of *uns—the queer model and talent agency that’s part fashion dreamscape, part radical soft space. We talk about their journey from English classrooms to Berlin’s creative multiverse and the art of curating community.
It’s a conversation about becoming, boundaries, and what it takes to build something real in a city where everyone thinks they already are.
Mak and Camille catch up and compare notes on how to navigate Berlin summer without losing the plot. From social juggling to romantic maybes to mastering the art of the effortless “wibe”, it’s a guide (or a warning?) for those of us trying to do the most…without doing too much.
This week on Two Black Girls in Berlin, we’re joined by the talented and loveable actor Toby Onwumere.
We talk about acting, sure. But also dive into ambition, identity, and what it feels like to carry your childhood dreams into adult rooms with bad lighting and occasionally questionable snacks. Toby lets us in on navigating an industry obsessed with reinvention and what he’s learned (and unlearned) along the way. There are no cut-and-dry conclusions, but there are great stories.
It's been a minute since our last episode with only the two of us. This one's all about the act of Black women making space for lightness and joy in a world that hates to see it.
Camille sits down with Aurélia and Lucy, the force behind PLAYBABE—a feminist and fem-led collective tearing down the old world to build something fierce and new. We discussed their provocative calendars, a mission to uplift women, and their relentless drive to ignite change. This episode isn't just a conversation; it's a call to arms.

This Valentine's Day, Two Black Girls in Berlin delves into the messy, beautiful, and bewildering world of love. In this special edition, we're joined by Fadi, a Palestinian chef whose warmth and wisdom shine bright.
Fadi shares his journey navigating the dating scene and reflects on the importance of self-acceptance, cultural understanding, and genuine connection. As a person of colour and someone of Arab heritage, his perspective is insightful and often full of laughs.
Mak and Camille also share their vulnerabilities, exploring the ups and downs of building relationships in a city that often feels like a whirlwind. More than just dating advice, this episode is about opening ourselves to the possibility of love in all its forms - friendship, family, and, yes, even romance.
