Where are you from and what was it like to grow up there?
I was born in Mateteng, Lesotho, but I grew up in Bad Honnef, Germany.
So for me growing up there, I was surrounded by a lot of old white rich people
and being a mixed and broke kid, confronted me with a lot of challenges, but it made me become the strong independent black woman that I am today.
Who impresses you, who is your idol?
My mother.
Where do you see yourself in 10 years?
In a place where I find peace with myself and my surroundings.
If you could change the world, what would you change?
No guns.
Free weed.
Rich parents for everyone.
What is your opinion on artificial Intelligence?

Where are you from and what was it like to grow up there?
I grew up everywhere in Germany.
Not having a base as a child was something I never understood.
I felt safe but limited. I taught me a lot and made me who I am.
Who impresses you, who is your idol?
Anyone who can infect you with their passion for life.
People who are able to live a life that they have on what they love to do.
There are too many 9-5 zombies out there – I admire anyone who could break free from that with their own strength, passion and love.
Where do you see yourself in 10 years?
I used to have a plan,…always!
Now I just want to be happy with what I am doing.
Nurturing and helping people along the way.
If you could change the world, what would you change?
I feel like all evil derives from a lack or excess of self-love.
If we all would love ourselves for who we are and accept that nobody is perfect
and we are all here just to learn from each other and care for each other and our surrounding – most, if not all problems would be solved.
What is your opinion on artificial Intelligence?
As a medical student I am fascinated by it.
Especially neurotic is super interesting and some even say incorporating tech into biological
mass is just another step in our evolution.
It holds such potential. But every good holds the same evil.

Who impresses you, who is your idol?
Mummy!!! Because she’s such a strong woman!
Where do you see yourself in 10 years?
Hopefully somewhere hot with the people I love.
If you could change the world, what would you change?
I would help my people in Africa and end racism.

Scary…

Where are you from and what was it like to grow up there?
Ich bin aus Hamburg. Meine zweite Heimat war auf dem Land in der Kleinstadt Lenzen.
Ich fand es sehr schön das Stadtleben und das Landleben genießen zu können.
Who impresses you, who is your idol?
Meine Idole sind meine Geschwister, weil meine Schwester für ihre Meinung einsteht, auch
wenn es dadurch Stress geben kann. Und mein Bruder, weil er sehr stark Bedürfnisse anderer Personen über seine eigenen stellt. Ich würde gerne genauso sein.
Where do you see yourself in 10 years?
Ich sehe mich selbst in 10 Jahren an einer Förderschule arbeiten und auf dem Land lebend, wo ich einen alten Bauernhof selbst renoviere.
If you could change the world, what would you change?
Wenn ich etwas an der Welt ändern könnte, würde ich das Schulsystem verändern. Ich denke das in der Schule in gewissen Bereichen Entwicklungen und Selbstfindung der Kinder eingeschränkt werden.
What is your opinion on artificial Intelligence?
Kann sehr hilfreich sein, z.B. bei gefährlichen Operationen, wo es immer zu menschlichen Versagen kommen kann.
