For many, the tragedies occurring in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) feel distant, relegated to fleeting social media statistics or occasional news reports. But the reality is far closer to our everyday lives than most people realize. In this episode of The Just Life, Benjamin Watson sits down with Congolese native Michel Lusakueno to bridge that gap.
Michel shares his unique perspective as a “naturalized nomad” who has spent 26 years in America while keeping his heart and family firmly rooted in the DRC. Together, they explore the importance of developing a proper perspective on the region, clarifying the geography of the Congo, and challenging the “out of sight, out of mind” mentality that often surrounds global injustice.
