In this episode, I speak with Paloma Serra. Paloma is a career diplomat for Spain, but her life could have taken a very different turn, had her parents not enticed her as a child with images about the beauty of African landscapes. Paloma describes the opportunity she had, as a freshly minted diplomat, to be posted to Ivory Coast and start discovering the continent that had so attracted her. Her experiences there - witnessing both highs and lows of deeply conflicted societies, are her inspiration for her photography and the poems that she wrote and eventually published.
