Her dream of working there as a documentary filmmaker on television turned out to be unrealizable: "My interview at CBS or NBC went so that the gentlemen asked me: 'What do you mean, what do we hire women here for?' It was a rhetorical question - and the answer: 'Yes, as cleaners and secretaries .' ”In 1965, Schultz taught at Rust College in Marshall County .

In 1966/67 she went to Puerto Rico , where she worked in the Office of Economic Opportunity's Anti-Poverty Programs.

In 1989 she completed her habilitation at the Institute for Sociology at the Free University of Berlin.

In 2011, Schultz was awarded the Margherita von Brentano Prize by Peter-André Alt , and Margit Mayer gave the laudatory speech .

Schultz invested her prize money on the one hand in setting up an Audre Lorde archive at the Free University of Berlin, and on the other in a documentary film about Audre Lorde's Berlin years. Schultz shot this as a producer and director, and she wrote the screenplay together with her partner Ika Hügel-Marshall.
