BBC World Service - Boston Calling, Coming of Age

The conflict in Colombia began before she was born. But it has affected her personally.

When she was six, her bus was stopped by armed Colombian rebels. Now, she’s learned that the conflict there might finally be over. 

Also on the programme, two stories about life-changing summer jobs. Presenter Marco Werman tries breadfruit for the first time, not entirely by choice. Somali-American teens explain why the Black Lives Matter movement speaks to them, too. And Aki Kumar explains why he gave up his dream to be bigger than Bill Gates, for the blues.
