4️⃣5️⃣ 15 Changes in November, Christmas Market Rumours, Descendants of Immigrants Less Happy + Weekly Events, IWB Highlights, Housing Offers & More!
Hello again, IWBies! 💕
Can you believe it’s already November? A new month always brings that cozy mix of reflection and fresh beginnings, the perfect time to start new routines, set gentle goals, or just enjoy your favorite comfort drink while the city turns gold.
Berlin’s energy is shifting too, from spooky Halloween nights 🎃 to the first whispers of Christmas markets (yes, already!). And we’ve gathered everything you need to stay in the loop.
Just a reminder: we’re a small group of immigrant women doing this voluntarily, every single week, to make sure our voices and experiences are seen and shared. Your support helps us keep going, thank you for being part of this! 💕
With love,
Sabrina & your IWB team 💖
