@SofiaBettiza @bbcworldservice Thank you for this amazing piece. It was such a pleasure to do this interview.

While most European countries relaxed their nationality laws in the 90s, Italy made it harder for 2nd gen migrants to become Italian.

They can apply for citizenship when they turn 18; they have to provide a huge amount of paperwork; then wait 4 YEARS to hear back from gvmt.

[Sofia Bettiza @SofiaBettiza]

But @KarimaOfficial says that through her music, she is hoping to inspire black Italians to empower themselves.

“I have met a lot of second generation immigrants who told me that by listening to my music, they are now fighting to obtain their citizenship."

[karima 2G @KarimaOfficial]

@tenseco Ciao caro, thank you for your words. I am glad to know that you have shared my work with your students. So happy to know what you are trying doing. I'd like to hear more about this 🙏

[Sofia Bettiza @SofiaBettiza]

#BlackLivesMatter is making a huge difference in Italy, says @KarimaOfficial

"We are now united, for the first time. You know, it’s difficult when you are fighting by yourself. But now… I feel that I am not alone anymore."

[Sofia Bettiza @SofiaBettiza]

Italian citizenship is based on 'jus sanguinis': the idea of lineage. So if you're the offspring of Italians anywhere in the world, you have the right to citizenship. But if you're the child of an immigrant - even if you were BORN in the country - that doesn't apply to you.

[Sofia Bettiza @SofiaBettiza]

"It’s like being invisible. Because you were born here, but you’re not part of this country."

Song after song, Liberian Italian rapper @KarimaOfficial pushes her country to re-examine its relationship with race.

[Sofia Bettiza @SofiaBettiza]

Singer @KarimaOfficial says that "many people don't accept that a black person could be Italian."

Italian citizenship is based on ‘jus sanguinis’: the right of blood’.
