Life

Malcolm Ohanwe was born in Munich to a German mother with Palestinian roots and a Nigerian father, a barber . He studied linguistics ( English , Romance studies and Arabic studies ) at the Ludwig Maximilians University and, according to his own statements, speaks six languages ​​( Arabic , German , English , French , Italian and Spanish ).

Ohanwe first appeared in public at the age of 16 when he took part in the 7th season of the casting show Deutschland sucht den Superstar .

Ohanwe gained his first journalistic experience after graduating from high school as an author for various television programs at ProSieben , as well as an editor for the hip-hop website Rap2Soul.de. His YouTube format Malcolm Music there with interviews on the subject of R&B was regularly discussed in the US media. This includes interviews with musicians like Tamar Braxton , Christina Milian , Michelle Williams , JoJo , HER, Nivea and Brandy .

He then appeared as a cultural journalist for Bayerischer Rundfunk , where he completed a journalistic traineeship and later worked as a television reporter for various programs on BR TV . He is currently working as a radio and television writer for BR. In 2019 he worked for the English-language television program of Deutsche Welle and reported, among other things, as a political correspondent from Nigeria, West Africa. In the same year Ohanwe worked in Atlanta for the US broadcaster WABE-FM .

Since 2018, he and the journalist Marcel Aburakia have been running the podcast Kanackische Welle , which deals with identity in the immigration country of Germany once a month . The podcast, which featured personalities such as Sawsan Chebli , Aminata Touré , Eunique , Bijan Kaffenberger and Hassan Akkouch , was recommended by several media. In 2020 the podcast was nominated for the Alternative Media Prize and the Smart Hero Award .

Since autumn 2019 Ohanwe has been one of the moderators of the ARD alpha show "Respekt". He has also been working as an author for Deutschlandfunk Kultur since 2020 . In the same year he translated the book "Sei No Man" by the British writer JJ Bola from English into German.

Positions and debates on social media

Ohanwe's activities on the short message service Twitter sparked various debates on everyday racism. On June 26, 2018, a series of his tweets about experiences with everyday racism caused activist Ali Can's hashtag #metwo to go viral. On November 3rd, he documented a speech by the Bild editor-in-chief Julian Reichelt , in which he rejected the negative “Golden Potato” award from the New German Media Makers. The contribution sparked a discussion on reverse racism. Ohanwe himself wrote a satirical open letter to Reichelt on Zündfunk . In March 2019, a clip he shared from the program Das Supertalent , in which a 5-year-old girl from Herne is asked several times by Dieter Bohlen about her Asian origins, sparked a debate about belonging and racism in Germany. The clip was discussed harshly but fairly later in the show and the columnist Ferda Ataman started the hashtag #vonhier on the tweet. In 2019, Vice magazine listed him as one of six German-speaking People of Color who still “will make history”. In June 2020, in a series of tweets and later also in a text for Spiegel Online , he asked white people to critically question their whiteness under the hashtag # KritischesWeißsein. The appeal was received by various media
