About this listen
Esua Alphonso’s first encounter with refugees in the asylum house struck him like a truth he could never unsee. He walked into rooms where people lived with fear sitting beside them like a silent roommate. And one night, he witnessed the police enter the house, searching for someone to deport. The tension, the whispers, the trembling hands, it cut into him. He saw how uncertainty breaks a person long before any journey does. That moment stayed with him. It showed him how fragile dignity becomes when the law arrives not as protection, but as a threat
