"Crisis creates clarity, and philanthropic funding is the best risk capital we have." That's how Hala Hanna reads the moment we're in, and as Executive Director of MIT Solve, she has the data to back it up.MIT Solve has spent a decade brokering the relationship between companies, funders, and the early-stage innovators closing equity gaps in health, learning, climate, and economic opportunity. Their 460 solvers are reaching 430 million lives, have mobilized $87 million in direct funding, and have collectively raised $1.4 billion. And Hala has a front-row seat to the fundamental shift happening in how money moves toward mission.In this episode, you'll hear:Why the most forward-thinking funders are moving from rewarding proximity to power to rewarding proximity to the problem, and what that means for your missionWhat corporate partners actually need from nonprofit partnerships right now, and how to position your org to meet them thereWhy pairing measurable outcomes with storytelling is the real fundraising unlock, and the one question every nonprofit leader needs to answer before walking into a funder conversationYou'll walk away with a sharper read on where philanthropy is heading and a concrete playbook for becoming the partner funders are actually looking for.

“Historically, as a region, we've been extracted at two levels. If you look at the AI value chain, a lot of our youth, some who have studied computer science, are left at data labelling roles at the bottom of the value chain, where the least value is created. In a different way, a lot of our data is being extracted for free to train those systems. We want to make sure we don't go into similar models that we had during colonisation.” Leanna Byrne speaks to Kate Kallot, founder of the Kenyan artificial intelligence company Amini, which is building AI infrastructure across Africa, the Caribbean and Latin America.She warns that billions of people risk being left out of the artificial intelligence systems shaping modern life, with languages, cultures and knowledge from large parts of the world underrepresented in the technology being built today.Kate argues that AI risks repeating old patterns of global inequality, with poorer countries supplying valuable data while richer nations reap the rewards.She explains why the Global South should help shape the future of AI, rather than simply supply the data behind it.The Interview brings you conversations with people shaping our world, from all over the world.

In this episode of Global Progress in the AI Era, a government minister and tech entrepreneur argue that the future of AI will be determined by thousands of small choices. Taking part in the conversation hosted by Devex Senior Editor for Special Coverage Catherine Cheney were Amini founder and CEO Kate Kallot, as well as Bosun Tijani, Nigeria's minister of communications, innovation, and digital economy.

Think back for a moment to middle school that in-between space where you're trying to figure out who you are, where you belong, and why it can sometimes feel like everyone else got a guidebook you didn't. For many of us, those feelings don't just disappear—they grow up with us. My guest has taken those tender, awkward, and deeply human moments and turned them into something both funny and profoundly relatable. Sara Amini is an actress, voice artist, and now author of Mixed Feelings, a semi-autobiographical graphic memoir that explores identity, friendship, family, and what it means to live between cultures—and sometimes between worlds. And while this story is told through the eyes of a young girl, its message speaks to all of us.

Brecht van Hulten in gesprek met theatermaker Saman Amini. Na het succes van Integratieplan #1, keert  Saman Amini terug met het langverwachte vervolg Saman Amini's Intergratieplan #2 Alles is Perspectief. In deze nieuwe voorstelling duik je in een wereld vol tegenstellingen: van AZC tot culturele elite, van ex-crimineel tot oud-minister, van homo tot homofoob. Saman kruipt in de huid van iedereen, onderzoekt hun keuzes, angsten en vooroordelen en laat zien hoe dichtbij hun wereld bij de jouwe ligt. Zo kijk je recht in de ogen van Nederland anno nu. In Alles is Perspectief neemt Saman het publiek mee langs pijnpunten die Nederland anno nu splijten: fascisme, racisme, ongelijkheid, homofobie, LHBTQIA+ rechten, de doorgeschoten wokecultuur en de rol van de media in deze polarisatie. Saman doet dat echter niet vanachter een veilige muur van meningen: hij graaft, onderzoekt, praat met de mensen om hem heen en kruipt in de huid van de ander – hoe ongemakkelijk dat ook is. Niet om te veroordelen, maar om te begrijpen. 

What can a graphic novel teach educators about belonging, friendship, and the inner lives of young people? Sara Amini is an actor and author whose semi-autobiographical middle grade graphic novel Mixed Feelings started as a collection of essays before finding its real form. In this conversation, she and Tricia dig into why the graphic novel gave her a sharper way to tell a story about not fitting neatly into any one category, and what that means for the kids (and adults) who read it. They talk about humor as a way into hard topics like racism, xenophobia, puberty, and loneliness. Sara explains how she thinks like a director when writing visually, and why graphic novels open up something different in classrooms that text alone doesn't reach. The conversation keeps circling back to a question worth sitting with: what are students carrying that we're not seeing, and what kinds of stories help us notice? Want a free copy of Mixed Feelings?

From multi-talented creator and debut author.

Playwright Ava Alavi moved from Iran to Canada shortly before Mahsa Amini was arrested and beaten for allegedly violating Iran's headscarf law. Amini's death and the movement that followed inspired Alavi's new play, "Sound," which premiered at Ottawa's Undercurrents Festival in early February. Alavi shares how creating geopolitical theatre helps her deal with what's happening back home.

Max Amini (comedian and actor) joins Chris Cuomo to talk about what the world misunderstands about Iran and the people who live there. Born in Arizona to an Iranian family and raised partly in Iran, Amini describes what it was like growing up between two cultures — experiencing both the warmth of Persian culture and the repression of the Islamic Republic. He explains the “double life” many Iranians live under the regime, the difference between the Iranian people and their government, and why Western audiences often get the country's identity wrong. Cuomo and Amini also discuss cancel culture in comedy, the pressure artists face in a social media age, and how propaganda and political messaging shape how Americans view the Middle East. Amini argues that storytelling — even through comedy — can help bridge cultural misunderstandings and bring attention to the reality of life inside Iran. The conversation also touches on the Iranian revolution, the role of the regime in fueling regional conflicts, and why Amini believes the Iranian people deserve to have their story told beyond the stereotypes often seen in the news.

This week on Devex's Global Progress in the AI Era podcast, we are breaking down the critical shift from simply accessing artificial intelligence to owning the infrastructure it runs on, with a specific focus on how the global south can finance AI infrastructure on its own terms. From the push for "minimum viable compute" to the deployment of micro data centers, we explore how nations are moving away from being mere sites of data extraction toward becoming sovereign architects of their own technological destinies. To dig into these stories, Devex's Catherine Cheney is joined by Jonathan Reid, Barbados minister of innovation; Kate Kallot, founder and CEO of Amini; and Alaa Murabit, managing partner at 500 Global. As the conversation around AI often centers on the massive "gigawatt factories" of the global north, our guests argue that the real bottleneck isn't computing capability, but institutional capacity and the underlying financing architecture. We discuss the transition from short-term pilots to durable public infrastructure, examining how strategic investment in regulators and civil servants is just as vital as the tech itself. By focusing on a three-part financing model that secures data rights and long-term maintenance, this episode explores how countries can build systems they can actually govern — ensuring that AI moves humanity forward rather than just serving as a new frontier for extraction.

Ob Greta Thunberg oder Queers for Palastine - bei Gaza war die Solidarität groß. Es gab laute Demonstrationen in den Straßen. Doch wenn die Menschen im Iran unter Lebensgefahr gegen das Mullah-Regime aufbegehren, ist von der Linken wenig zu hören. Warum nur? Florian Schroeder hat da einige Vermutungen.

Die Idee zu ihrem Tochter-Vater-Projekt hatte Maren Amini schon während ihres Studiums zur Illustratorin an der Hochschule für Angewandte Wissenschaften Hamburg. Doch bis zum ersten Zeichenstrich für „Ahmadjan und der Wiedehopf“ vergingen Jahre. Mittlerweile wurde die Künstlerin für ihr Comic-Debüt mit dem Deutschen Jugendliteraturpreis 2025 in der Kategorie „Neue Talente - Illustration“ ausgezeichnet. Amini erzählt darin die bewegende Geschichte ihres Vaters, der 1953 in Afghanistan geboren wurde, sich von den Hippies in Kabul hat inspirieren lassen und bis nach Hamburg reiste. Er war u.a. Hafenarbeiter, Seemann, Fremdenführer, Maler für einen afghanischen Militärmann, hat Hippie-Busse bemalt, sich mit afghanischen Widerstandskämpfern getroffen und verstand sich immer auch als Künstler.Mit dem Comic wollten Maren Amini und ihr Vater nach der erneuten Machtübernahme der Taliban 2021 einen Kontrapunkt setzen – sich positiv mit Afghanistan auseinandersetzen. Zudem war es für die Illustratorin auch persönlich wichtig, sich endlich mit ihren Wurzeln zu beschäftigen, sagt sie im Gespräch auf NDR Kultur. Als Jugendliche und junge Erwachsene wollte sie von Afghanistan nämlich nichts wissen. In ihrer Wahrnehmung war das ein Land, in dem einfach nur Krieg herrschte und alles immer traurig war.

Le journaliste Guillaume Grallet raconte ses rencontres avec de nombreux innovateurs du numérique et tente de comprendre ce qui les motive.Guillaume Grallet, rédacteur en chef tech & sciences au magazine Le Point, auteur du livre “Pionniers” (Grasset)Qu'est-ce qui caractérise tous ces "pionniers" ?Je crois que tous ces pionniers refusent instinctivement l'ordre établi et pensent toujours "hors du cadre". Je l'ai constaté aussi bien chez Dario Amodei d'Anthropic, chez Elon Musk sur X, ou chez les fondateurs de Mistral AI. Ils veulent changer les choses, parfois de façon brutale, mais toujours avec l'idée qu'un autre futur est possible. Je pense que leur force vient de cette capacité à ne pas se plier à la normalité, qui étouffe l'imagination et l'initiative. Pour eux, sortir du cadre n'est pas une prise de risque : c'est une manière naturelle d'avancer. Et c'est pour cela qu'ils peuvent être déroutants, parfois inquiétants, mais aussi essentiels à l'évolution de l'humanité.L'Afrique est très présente dans le livre, pourquoi ?Je suis frappé par l'énergie et l'inventivité que je vois en Afrique. Avec les conférences Indaba, AIMS ou des personnalités comme Pélonomie Moïloa, on assiste à un mouvement extrêmement puissant. Le continent possède plus de 2 000 langues, ce qui permet de construire des modèles d'IA beaucoup plus riches. Je vois aussi des initiatives comme Amini, qui lance ses propres satellites, ou AfriClimate, qui montrent une volonté de souveraineté numérique. Pour moi, l'Afrique développe une IA ancrée dans le réel, tournée vers des besoins concrets comme l'agriculture, le climat ou l'éducation, et pas seulement vers la compétition technologique mondiale.Qu'est-ce qui caractérisent les figures les plus médiatiques comme Zuckerberg ou Musk ?J'ai découvert chez ces personnalités des contradictions fascinantes. Mark Zuckerberg peut me parler avec passion de communication “cerveau à cerveau”, puis consacrer une énergie folle à construire un immense bunker autosuffisant à Hawaï. Elon Musk, que j'ai rencontré plusieurs fois, oscille entre vision scientifique brillante, doutes très humains et projets comme Neuralink, qui me mettent franchement mal à l'aise. Ce qui me frappe, c'est leur capacité à rêver très grand tout en étant parfois aveuglés par leur propre puissance. Ils dévoilent à la fois le meilleur de l'innovation et ses zones de danger. Et cela montre à quel point on doit ouvrir le débat sur la fusion homme-machine, les inégalités à venir et la nécessité de garder notre plasticité intellectuelle.-----------♥️ Soutien : https://mondenumerique.info/don

Dans cet épisode, on parle de : « Femme, Vie, Liberté ». La sociologue et écrivaine iranienne Chahla Chafiq revient sur l'histoire de cette révolution née après le meurtre de Mahsa Jîna Amini ; sur la force des mots qui défient les dictatures, et sur la manière dont les femmes et les hommes d'Iran se battent, au péril de leur vie, pour la liberté.À travers son livre Un orage de mots, Chahla raconte comment la langue, la poésie et les slogans deviennent des armes de résistance — et comment, parfois, les mots peuvent sauver la dignité d'un peuple.

U Iranu su obavezne zakonske odredbe o nošenju hidžaba prije tri godine pokrenule masovne prosvjede potaknute smrću Mahse Jina Amini tijekom policijskog pritvora. Iako se prisutnost tzv. moralne policije smanjila, režim tvrdi da sada koristi digitalne alate poput aplikacija za nadzor građana, dronova i prepoznavanja lica kako bi provodio represiju. No, žene pronalaze nove načine otpora.

In this episode, I dig into a question that's always lurking in the back of a portrait photographer's mind – what really makes light flattering? It's a term we all use, but what does it actually mean? Is it just about soft shadows and low contrast, or is it more about the connection between the subject and the photographer? I talk through this while reflecting on a busy week – from a stunning wedding at Head Saw House to a corporate shoot for Barclays, and a spontaneous portrait session that reminded me why I love this job. I also share some thoughts on the updated Mastering Portrait Photography book, which hits shelves in September, complete with fresh images and a whole new chapter on AI post-production. If you've ever wondered what makes a light truly flattering – and why it's about more than just the gear – this episode is for you. And as always, wherever you are and whatever you're doing, be kind to yourself. Cheers P.

I started it with a trip down to Devon with the in-laws. One great thing about being married to Sarah, whose family are from Plymouth, there are many great things about being married to Sarah. But one of the ones, in terms of geography, at least, is her family still lived down in Plymouth, in Devon, by the sea. So it was absolutely glorious to spend a couple of days down there walking the dog, drinking a beer, enjoying the sunshine, and the sun is still shining here right now. And on that happy note, I'm Paul. I'm very much looking forward to a barbecue, and this is the Mastering Portrait

The slogan is best known in English-language media for its use within the context of Iran. In September 2022 protesters in Iran and abroad adopted the slogan after Jina Mahsa Amini an Iranian woman in her early 20s, died unexpectedly on September 16, 2022, while in custody of Iran's Gasht-e Ershad (Guidance Patrol; also called “morality police”) for “improper” clothing. The death of Amini, a 22-year-old Sunni woman from Iran's minority Kurdish community, was a reflection of the escalating and unrelenting authoritarianism of the Iranian regime at a time of deepening economic instability. While the circumstances surrounding Amini's death made the slogan resonate throughout Iran and the world, it already had been in wide use among Kurdish activists. The incident sparked outrage in Iran, where anger toward the government had already been flaring, and ignited a sustained and widespread protest movement. The protests over Amini's death, which reflected a broad and far-reaching set of grievances caused by persistent government negligence, found expression in the slogan. source
