Congolive engages JJ Bola, London-based poet, educator, and speaker in a wide-ranging discussion on culture, history, politics and the Congolese Diaspora in the UK. Much of Bola's work focuses on his origins in the DR Congo and experiences of migration and otherness-but also of hope, and humanity. “What is most striking about JJ Bola is his ability to express through poetry the injustices that mar our world today.”
