About
In this episode, Ana Amrein Esnaola opens the mic to Espoir Kahitani, a young poet born in the Democratic Republic of Congo and raised in the Dzaleka refugee camp (Malawi). “Refugee is a label, not my name,” he says, as he revisits a childhood of charcoal stoves and night songs, the attack that changed everything, and the discovery of poetry as a practice of hope. Listening is social innovation: it illuminates what must be transformed and shifts narratives toward a just, diverse, regenerative reality.
