Boucka

I am a dedicated Pan-Afrikan internationalist and social justice advocate with first-hand experience of the challenges posed by the UK's colonial and dehumanising hostile immigration environment. I am deeply committed to dismantling all systems of racial capitalism.

I began my journey as a student activist in my native Ivory Coast. After arriving in Britain, I took on the role of Immigration Secretary for the Ivorian Relief Action Group (IRAG), a London-based organisation focused on self-determination, integration, and the welfare of the Ivorian diaspora. I later joined the Afrika Desk at the Jubilee 2000 Campaign, where I actively advocated for debt relief for formerly colonised nations in the Global South.

Currently, I serve as the chair of VVIDY (Voice for Voiceless Immigration Detainees-Yorkshire), where I work to uphold the rights and dignity of individuals impacted by Britain’s racially exclusionary immigration system. I champion a vision of justice and equity for all. Alongside my advocacy work, I am also pursuing a Bachelor of Arts in Sustainable Development and Social Change at the University of East London.
