That’s very sad part of our community that is a girl with darker skin is always been neglected. I don’t know why people always see others physical appearance. People always consider their beauty & because some people do many unwanted things to themselves.

A very moving post, Lady. Welcome to the unit and don’t worry, as Mathew says Brussels is the perfect place for “globalised indentities”… in fact we are all a bit like that after a while. In Spain I am “the girl that lives in Belgium” and here “the Spanish girl”.

And in my neighborhood, I am a white girl in a black world!

A really nice post. Welcome to Brussels. If you find that you have a multilayered identity, you have probably come to the right place. There are many here.

I think it’s one of the reasons so many people stay in Bxls for longer than the original “year or three”. Because even if you don’t have a complex identity when you arrive, after a while here …

who turned up as an Australian for two weeks’ work, …
then discovered his British ancestry, …
and then his Belgian wife and kids…

Whatever the nationality, the sex, the colour, the age, the experience, the background… All the people in this unit are considered by others as entire and interesting personalities. That’s the feeling I had when I came to this unit, six months ago. Is it a result of “multiculturalism”, with more than 20 nationalities represented ? Probably. And it’s good so. Welcome, Lady!
