On the show, Soraya Senoiser interviews Jessica Kanya-Ngambi, founder of the Africa Diaspora Connection. As a Congolese first-generation migrant, she has a unique view on the importance of the diaspora in advocacy, representation and capacity-building in humanitarian development. Over the past decade, she has managed multi-million dollar programs in more than 20 African and MENA countries. Now she joins the show to discuss how she is changing the character of mobilising support for humanitarian projects from across the diaspora.

An absolute well of ideas, enthusiasm and work ethic, Jessica introduces you to the humility, creativity and work ethic required to work on behalf of her diaspora. Pushing back on the intra-ethnic conflict stories in The Congo and harnessing local knowledge and support, she is pushing for a new future supported by an engaged, knowledgeable diaspora.
