Aminata Toure Becomes First Black State Government Cabinet Minister DeutscheWelle: Mali
A Green and the daughter of refugees from Mali, Toure told German media that she sees her role as"special" given the numerous messages she has received from people who say her appointment has meant"a lot to them."These issues have been her hallmark since she was first voted into Schleswig-Holstein's state parliament in 2017., becoming the first Black person and the youngest politician to hold such a position in any of Germany's 16 states.
Toure uses the term Afro-German to refer to herself; it defines her as a person with roots in Africa but at home in Germany, she told DW earlier this year.
