This is a Spanish-language YouTube interview (Cracks Podcast #238) in which Oso Trava interviews Bisila Bokoko about her life and work. Major threads: Bisila’s first trip to Africa (Ghana) inspired her to found The Africa Literacy Project and build public libraries so children can access books; she describes four operational libraries (Ghana, Uganda, Kenya, Zimbabwe) and plans for more (Senegal, Ivory Coast, São Tomé and Príncipe, Rwanda). She recounts growing up with books, how specific self‑help and mindset books shaped her trajectory (e.g., 'Tus zonas mágicas' and works by Wayne Dyer, Louise Hay, Rhonda Byrne), her career rise in New York and sudden dismissal from the Spain–USA Chamber of Commerce, and how that "noche oscura del alma" (about three years) led her to entrepreneurship (BBS/BBS branding), mentoring, public speaking and writing. She explains funding and volunteer-based operations for the libraries (personal company profits, donations, corporate shipping support), emphasizes cultural intelligence for international branding, and describes current priorities: promoting her book Todos tenemos una historia que contar (released in English recently), running abundance retreats, and opening a library in Senegal serving ~200 children. Tone: candid, motivational; emphasis on resilience, cultural respect, and literacy as empowerment.
