Child of Congo - Where it all began

In this compelling debut, Laurène delves into the complex intersections of identity, history, and resilience in the face of unimaginable adversity. „Child of Congo“ is a poignant exploration of the human spirit, born out of the
crucible of conflict and displacement.

The Democratic Republic of the Congo, ravaged by decades of internal strife and exploitation, serves as the backbone for this deeply personal journey. Laurènes verses weave the struggles of a generation torn between a
globalized existence and African heritage. Through the eyes of a child split between worlds, we see the intricate dance of identity formation, cultural legacy, and perseverance. This work provokes readers to confront
uncomfortable realities of our interconnected world and the often-overlooked consequences of global politics – from modern slavery to an ongoing struggle against rebel groups.

Therefore, this anthology is not merely a lyrical reflection; it is also a call to action, bringing light to the forgotten underbelly of colonialism and neocolonialism, unveiling hidden truths behind the world‘s reliance on Congo‘s vital resources.

Prepare to be moved, challenged, and inspired by the raw emotion and
unflinching honesty of „Child of Congo“.

This poetic compilation will echo long after the final page is turned,
leaving readers with a newfound appreciation for the enduring power of the human condition.
