The couple was even threatened with death. “We both received death threats because we were together, and we were told weekly that we shame our families for being together.”

At the same time, the relationship with her partner also opened her eyes. «Being Shaman’s Durek’s girlfriend gave me a crash course in how white dominance is involved and how I consciously and unconsciously thought about and acted against black people.» She always took her rights as a white woman for granted, explains the Norwegian. It was now clear to her that she had to understand the system better in order to do her part to fight racism. “As a white person, I have to grow, educate myself and improve.”

She no longer wants to stand by and watch her partner get insulted. She promises: «So far I have not spoken about the racism I have experienced against my friend. And now I see that this is part of the problem. I didn’t act the way I should have, but it stops as of today. » (paf)
