In this episode of the New Roots Podcast, Desmond and Ife sit down with Oliwia Bosomtwe — journalist, writer, art curator, and lecturer.Born in Kraków and raised in Nowy Sącz with Polish and Ghanaian roots, Oliwia has built a career at the intersection of media, culture, and identity. From leading Noizz Poland as Editor-in-Chief to contributing to major publications and working within cultural institutions, her work consistently explores themes of race, belonging, and representation in Poland.Through her writing, curatorial work, and her book Jak biały człowiek, she challenges traditional ideas of Polish identity and creates space for more inclusive narratives.Oliwia’s voice is important to the New Roots conversation because she helps redefine what it means to belong in Poland especially for people of diverse roots.
