About Bola
Bola Mosuro is a seasoned journalist and storyteller who has spent over three decades connecting with audiences across Africa and beyond. Known for her warm, authentic voice and infectious enthusiasm, she creates space for personal stories, meaningful dialogue, and conversations that champion human rights, development, and social growth.
As a trusted voice on the BBC African Service, Bola became a household name through her work on Network Africa, Focus on Africa, Newsday, and other flagship programmes on the BBC World Service. Her distinctive laugh, humour, and unwavering commitment to giving a voice to the voiceless earned her a loyal following and deep respect throughout the continent and the diaspora.
Whether anchoring radio programmes, hosting podcasts, or moderating live events, Bola’s signature style has always been rooted in compassion, curiosity, and a passion for people and their stories. Now, she brings that same spirit to a new chapter: Breaking Bread with Bola — the podcast.
Breaking Bread with Bola
Bola believes in the power of personal stories. In her career she's been privileged to have sat across many people from all walks of life who've shared their stories. She's continuing to do that getting people to sharing their journeys. Their highs and lows, what inspired them, events that shaped them, their family, heritage and culture, their trials and tribulations.
Bola's love of people is tied to her love of food. You see food is closely tied to many of our personal stories. A dish that reminds one of a person, an event, a chapter in one's life, a happy or turblent or sad time.
On the 'Breaking Bread with Bola' podcast guests will be speaking from the heart, talking about their favourite dishes and why they mean so much and the images and memories they conjure up.
So pull up a seat to the table. Let's break bread, share stories, get a little insight and perhaps spark change one conversation at a time. Breaking Bread with Bola Podcast is out in September.
