This edition features Dalia Al-Dujaili, a writer and artist whose work explores heritage, belonging, and the immigrant experience through deeply personal, politically resonant storytelling.

In conversation, Dalia reflects on the creation of her debut book, Babylon Albion, and the journey of uncovering identity across generations, geographies, and memory. She shares how her family’s migration from Iraq to the UK shaped her creative voice, and how she navigates the space between art, journalism, and activism with intention and care.

Alongside an AJOSEPO rapid-fire Q&A, a one-word segment, her version of London, and a glimpse into her everyday essentials, Dalia’s spotlight offers a thoughtful portrait of a woman using language, culture, and creativity to reclaim narrative and build a legacy.
