Spring 2021, Brussels. As Black Lives Matter reopens debates on colonial memory, a Belgian missionary invites me into his attic, where traces of his past in Congo have remained hidden for decades. Photographs, notebooks, and a hollowed Bible concealing a gun resurface. Through these archives and fragmented memories, I embark on a personal investigation into a shared yet unequal past - confronting inherited narratives, silenced violence, and my position as an African son facing a paradoxical paternal voice.
