Today’s episode of Hometown features an interview with Salemu Alimasi. Salemu and his family, originally from the Democratic Republic of Congo, came to the U.S. as refugees in 2011 and settled in Houston. A passionate advocate for years, Salemu has worked as a grassroots community organizer with Church World Service since 2023.

We invite you to join us for a lively conversation where we learn about Salemu’s early years, his family’s experiences living in refugee camps, and the transition and adjustment to living in the U.S. Prepare to be inspired by Salemu’s passion and commitment to advocating for the rights and protections of all forced migrants.

For even more background on Salemu, we encourage you to visit the EMM blog on our website for a three-part series on Salemu’s journey - Salemu’s story, Part 1: Child of Lake Tanganyika - Episcopal Migration Ministries. Thank you for listening.
