now she's young and she's black i mean as a chiller a is a german punish haitian who doesn't quite fit the usual stereotype of what a member of state parliament should look like let alone holding the 2nd most powerful position in the state assembly this week tory was voted in as deputy parliamentary speaker for the state office. it's been a long journey from refugee born to parents who fled from mali to germany ching the 1901 is i mean that's a children's story. i mean not have to worry is on her way to take up her new job at the schleswig-holstein state assembly she's been a member of parliament here for the greens since 2017 now she's been voted in as deputy speaker a powerful political position that isn't often held by a young woman especially not someone who was born in a refugee accommodation or whose parents were born in africa touré is part of the changing face of german politics. the understood side unquote and when you look at
8:37 pm
the figures more than one in 5 people in germany have a migrant background this has to be reflected in politics otherwise it just doesn't represent society. that touré is passionate about the environment tackling the far right and its anti immigration agenda and promoting women's rights she's also outspoken in her criticism of germany's refugee laws in the form of people see what i don't think that every priest of the style and policy is going to put people off the plane to germany or any other country because the hardships people face it harmed a still their dignity doesn't laffey for. touré has been described as a shooting star in state politics. but she has faced discrimination along the way. to some insults you get used to insults and that includes rice's and sexist insults
8:38 pm
it's completely inappropriate in the name born to mali and parents in germany touré spent the 1st part of her life in a refugee shelter she wasn't granted citizenship until she was 12 at school her friends dreamed of the future while touring worried about being deported. that was a hugely difficult experience of my classmates knew that after finishing school i could join an apprenticeship or go to university whereas i was wondering where i would be allowed to leave or what i'd be allowed to do it because i just didn't know whether my family would be able to stay in germany. the politician calls the port city of kiel home. she grew up hearing her parents' stories of mali though and she describes herself as being both african and german.
8:39 pm
i've always felt passionate both worlds leave the land of my parents in germany where i live i don't want to have to choose one country or the other african german is a concept shaped by the black feminist movement here that's what identify with it see and release by this find germans with a migrant background in top political positions are rare and touré doesn't want to remain an exception. now when i say i saw a condom adjured many of you will think africa but believe it or not kenya has an ice hockey team called the ice lions the team laces up its skates several times a week to practice in nairobi. thank you i saw ky at the equator yes it's real right here at this solar powered ice arena twice a week about 2 dozen adrenaline junkies meet for hockey training at this arena even though it's really too small for the sport most had never seen an ice rink before except on t.v. but now they're the ice lions and face the hole is one of the few women players on
8:40 pm
the team if you do i miss you because you know my shit if it says you have and you only have these these you know so even if you're angry at you but unable to become bank i was and you know that too because. the team is a cross section of urban kenyan society the young men and women come from different social and economic backgrounds as well as different ethnic groups but when they play hockey together they're all on the same team 22 year old georgia good charter is the goalkeeper fiercely throwing himself in front of the flying pack. meaning to make it work for you but i decided to become a goalkeeper because it suits my personality. and i'll be doing it for the rest of my life was safe is used to wearing all the gears hockey players need but it's expensive equipment and the team couldn't afford it if not for the donors and
