Neale Richmond, Minister of State for International Development and Diaspora, discusses Fine Gael's blueprint for a unified island.

.Le 1er juin 2026, la France annonçait 93 milliards d'euros d'investissements étrangers. Un record. Et pourtant, aucun dirigeant de la diaspora africaine n'était dans la salle.Dans cet épisode, je ne viens pas me plaindre. Je viens expliquer. Pourquoi nos entreprises restent invisibles aux yeux des investisseurs — et surtout, les 3 fondations concrètes pour changer ça.Posture. Structure financière. Réseau stratégique. C'est tout ce qui sépare une bonne boîte d'une entreprise qui attire.L'invisibilité n'est pas une fatalité. C'est une étape.

There's a lot of fantastic music being made by Brazilian artists living in the U.S. They entertain an estimated 1.5 million Brazilian immigrants here as well as a growing number of other fans. And Brazilian music is enjoying a resurgence here - on Mazda commercials, endless bossa nova soundtracks played in upscale restaurants; inter-cultural collaborations and so on. We'll hear many of the best: Jorge Alabe, the godfather of many samba schools; Bebel Gilberto, daughter of bossa pioneer Joao Gilberto; singer Luciana Souza; the quirky percussionist Cyro Baptista; the funky, unorthodox Forro in the Dark and others. They all have fascinating stories to tell. We'll hear them in concert, visit with them in their homes, and hear songs from records produced in the U.S. New York University's widely published Professor of Music Jason Stanyek will be our co-host.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. US reporter Luke Tress joins host Jessica Steinberg for today's episode. Following the arrest of defendant Mohammad Al-Saadi, who allegedly orchestrated a string of attacks on Jewish targets in Europe and the US on behalf of Iran, Tress tracks the details shared by the suspect, who spoke freely with investigators, emphasizing his use of social media to recruit operatives and noting that all Iranian proxies are related to one another. Marking one year since the Colorado firebombing attack of a rally for Israeli hostages that killed one elderly woman, Tress explores patterns of support among anti-Israel groups for perpetrators of violent hate crimes. After a bogus Miss Israel appeared at the Israel Day Parade in New York, Tress discovers that the Miss Universe franchise is now privately owned by a Florida enterprise and has little relation to Israel or Israeli culture. Check out The Times of Israel's ongoing liveblog for more updates.

Iran has dominated the US news cycle throughout 2026 so far. The U.S. and Israeli war of aggression in Iran just passed its 100th day, having come on the heels of the Islamic Republic regime's brutal repression of protests around the country in January. Among other things, these events have thrust a spotlight on the complex relationship between Iran and its diaspora, and the varied and contradictory perspectives diasporic Iranians hold when it comes to events inside Iran. In this episode, we speak with anthropologist Amy Malek about her book, Culture Beyond Country: Strategies of Inclusion in the Global Iranian Diaspora (NYU Press, 2025) and its resonances in our current moment.

Notes Sample: “We Are So Fragile” by Tubeway Army Written and produced by Kinte Synopsis “Exodus to the Stars” imagines humanity looking beyond Earth while questioning whether mankind has learned from its mistakes. Sampling “We Are So Fragile,” Kinte uses space travel as a metaphor for responsibility, not escape. The song asks if people will carry greed and inequality into the stars, or finally build a new world with wisdom and justice. Chapter 9: Exodus to the Stars After Earth reaches a breaking point, the album looks upward. “Exodus to the Stars” imagines humanity preparing to leave the planet, but it questions whether escape is enough. If people carry the same greed, racism, inequality, and destruction into space, then the stars will only become another broken world. This chapter turns space travel into a moral test. The future cannot simply be about leaving Earth — it must be about learning from what happened here. #ExodusToTheStars #Kinte #Afrofuturism Lyrics [Chorus] If the Earth don't hold us, we build a new ark, Starship on the shoulder of the brave and the dark. Diaspora dreaming with a planet in our scars If they won't give us land, then we taking the stars. [Verse 1] I seen gentrified galaxies in a boardroom slide, “Luxury on Luna,” while the poor still denied. They wanna flee the mess but keep the mindset same, Same greed, new orbit, different sky for the blame. But my exodus ain't escape it's a mission with a purpose, Bring a library of drums, put a garden in the surface. If we leave, we leave wiser, not repeating the sin A future that begins with what we did to win. [Bridge] We don't run from responsibility we run toward possibility. [Chorus] If the Earth don't hold us, we build a new ark, Starship on the shoulder of the brave and the dark. Diaspora dreaming with a planet in our scars If they won't give us land, then we taking the stars. [Verse 2] And if we stay, then we stay like surgeons, Cutting out corruption till the world stop bleeding. Either way, we the pilots not the cargo.

In Los Angeles lebt die weltweit grösste iranische Exilgemeinde. Seit die USA Krieg gegen Iran führen, ist die Stimmung in der Diaspora zutiefst gespalten. Viele Exiliraner unterstützen die militärischen Schläge, da sie das brutale Mullah-Regime stürzen wollen. Gleichzeitig bangen sie um ihre Verwandten in der Heimat. Der Widerstand wird auch digital geführt: Aktivisten schmuggeln Starlink-Terminals ins Land, um den Menschen vor Ort den Zugang zum freien Internet zu ermöglichen. Doch die Exil-Community kämpft mit inneren Zerrissenheiten und äusserem Druck. Neben überzeugten Demokraten und Monarchisten leben auch Profiteure und Verwandte des Regimes in den USA. Zudem wächst in den USA die Skepsis gegenüber dem kostspieligen Krieg und Migranten allgemein.

To make this unprecedented program, producer Ned Sublette traveled to Mbanza-Kongo, the ancient seat of the Kongo empire located in present-day northern Angola, where he spoke to Dr. Bárbaro Martínez Ruiz, professor of art and art history at Stanford. We'll learn about the simbi, the spirits that Martínez Ruiz describes as “the multiple power of god”; hear Antonio Madiata play the lungoyi-ngoyi, the two-stringed viola of the Kongo court; attend a session of the lumbu, the traditional tribunal of elders; and talk to Pedro Lopes, a nganga mawuko (traditional healer). With C. Daniel Dawson and Angolan composer and musicologist Victor Gama, we'll explore Kongo-Ngola culture in the diaspora – in Brasil, Haiti, Cuba, and more. A SPIRITUAL JOURNEY TO MBANZA-KONGO is supported by a 2012 Knight Luce Fellowship for Reporting on Global Religion. The fellowship is a program of the University of Southern California's Knight Chair in Media and Religion. Originally produced by Ned Sublette in 2012 APWW #651

Throughout the conversation, Sydney speaks about his experiences growing up within the insular Venezuelan Jewish community, before moving to Jerusalem as an "accidental settler" while studying at the Hebrew University before moving to the US.Sydney leads us toward an understanding of how experiences of diaspora, displacement and immigration, can layer upon one another to create a tapestry of multirooted identities. We also explore the context-dependent nature of identity labels and their significance in relation to struggles toward a better world.Read some of Sydney's recent writing in Gazoz de Frambuaz.Subscribe to our shared YouTube channelFollow us on InstagramIf you like the work we're doing here, please consider supporting us on Patreon!Big thank you to Aly Halpert for continuing to allow us to use her music!

Esta semana en Mediterráneo miramos hacia aquellas historias que permanecen fuera del foco por varios motivos. Por el paso del tiempo o por dejadez informativa. Conversamos con Mireia Mayolas, del Museu Marítim de Barcelona, sobre La infamia, una exposición que revisa la participación catalana en la esclavitud colonial y reflexiona sobre las huellas que aquel pasado sigue dejando en nuestro presente. Viajamos también hasta Yemen de la mano de Eva Erill, de Solidarios Sin Fronteras, para conocer una de las crisis humanitarias más graves y olvidadas del mundo. Completan la travesía las músicas de Trio Tico y Fabregas Le Métis Noir, además de una mirada a la serie Ravalear y a las resistencias cotidianas frente a la gentrificación y a recuperar el barrio como punto de encuentro que define también nuestra cultura urbana.Suena en MediterráneoTrio Tico — Joia Fabregas Le Métis Noir — LakalaGuez Kadima ft.

Brent Peterson sits down with Kanessa Muluneh, the founder of Nyle Investment Group, to discuss what it really takes to build businesses and invest across the African continent. From navigating trust issues and cultural differences to launching a gaming company and a vitamin brand, this conversation covers the rewards and realities of emerging market investment. Whether you're a business owner exploring international expansion or a member of the diaspora considering a return to your roots, this episode delivers practical wisdom you won't find in a textbook.Key TakeawaysAfrica offers significant ROI, but requires serious due diligence. Kanessa stresses that the returns on investment across African markets can be substantial, yet the risks are equally real. Working with the wrong professionals or skipping proper vetting can lead to financial loss.PR and marketing expertise can transform small businesses. Kanessa's first investment involved trading her marketing skills for equity in a small plumbing company. That trade turned into a thriving business and sparked her career as an investor.The diaspora plays a critical role in Africa's economic growth. Nyle focuses on investing across the continent while encouraging Africans abroad to do the same, because many diaspora members have spent years building knowledge and seeing how strong economic systems work.Trust and local representation matter, but they can work both ways. In several African markets, consumers distrust locally made products by default, which creates a frustrating barrier for entrepreneurs building high-quality goods on the continent.Cultural intelligence is non-negotiable for market entry. Understanding how business gets done in a specific region requires more than speaking the language. It requires grasping negotiation styles, social dynamics, and local expectations.About Kanessa MulunehKanessa Muluneh is an Ethiopian-born, Netherlands-raised serial entrepreneur and investor currently based in Dubai. She has launched six businesses, selling four of them for a combined sum of over US$9.5 million. After building and scaling ventures across Europe, Muluneh returned to African markets with fluency in Western systems and an on-the-ground understanding of how business operates on the continent. That perspective now anchors Nyle, a pan-African investment firm connecting diaspora capital to scalable African businesses. She is also the founder of Mulu, a family lifestyle brand spanning more than 15 countries, and she shifted from medical studies to business early in her career, evenChapters:0:00 Introduction and Meet Kanessa Muluneh0:45 From Medical School to Building Businesses1:24 The Free Joke Project2:35 How Kanessa Started Investing in Africa5:00 Business Mistakes and Lessons Learned6:13 Why Africa's ROI Is Worth the Risk7:18 Selling Into India and Asian Markets8:35 Negotiation Culture and Pricing Psychology10:10 Selling Services Into Developing Countries11:14 Local Representation and Trust Issues13:21 Building a Vitamin Brand for Africa14:15 Rise of Fearless and the Gaming Industry17:50 Cultural Differences in Business Communication20:21 Bridging Cultural Gaps as a Diaspora Investor22:30 Ethiopia as an Investment Market24:40 Shameless Plug and Final Advice26:00 How to Connect with KanessaConnect with Kanessa on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kanessa-muluneh-297984b2/Follow Kanessa on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kanessamuluneh/orhttps://www.instagram.com/europeanhabesha/This has been produced in cooperation with Content Cucumberhttps://www.contentcucumber.com/Follow Talk Commerce on your favorite platform:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@talkcommerceBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/talkcommerce.bsky.socialApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/talk-commerce/id1561204656Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7Alx6N7ERrPEXIBb41FZ1nTwitter: @talkingcommerceLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/talk-commerceFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/talkingcommerceWebsite: https://talk-commerce.com/

In the fifty-sixth episode of the Inspiring Stewards podcast, Nathan Jones speaks with Duncan Szeto from New York, USA. From chasing wealth in Hong Kong to planting a thriving church next to Columbia University, Duncan's life underwent a radical transformation after devoting himself to God. After retiring from a career as an actuary, he now shepherds Manhattan Gospel Church, reaching an underserved population of Chinese-speaking diaspora young adults in Manhattan.

Haiti became the first black-ruled republic in the Americas in 1804, and music has mirrored, and at times shaped, the twists and turns of Haiti's politics and culture ever since. A primary source of Haitian culture is Dahomey, the birthplace of vodou--the most commonly held world view among Haitian people today. We explore how each of Haiti's rulers has championed his own preferred music. The Duvalier dictators favored compas dance music, and suppressed the most African-identified cultural expressions. When Baby Doc was run out of the country in 1986, African-derived racine, or roots, music exploded. Elizabeth McAlister, professor of religion at Wesleyan University, and Holly Nicolas--interweave music and history to tell a dynamic, and at times heart-breaking story. Included in the mix we'll hear the sweet sound of troubadour balladeers, as well as the exuberant tones of rara bands, the call and response of a capela kombit songs of work parties, impassioned choral music of evangelical churches, and the sophisticated, improvisational rhythms used in vodou rituals.

Victorian Premier Jacinta Allan has highlighted the strong ties between Australia and India, pointing to state's large Indian diaspora as a key link between the two countries. She said this vibrant community plays an important role in deepening the relationship between the two nations. Speaking about the possibility of a visit by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi in July this year, Allan said she would welcome the opportunity to host him. She also addressed a range of state issues during a recent media briefing, including the upcoming state budget and concerns about crime in Victoria.

In this episode, we sit down with Marius Smyth of the Digital Irish Venture Fund (DIVF) for a follow-up to our earlier conversations with Marty Loughlin. Where Marty walked us through how DIVF picks founders and the realities of pitching the fund, Marius zooms out to the layer underneath: how DIVF is building the Irish diaspora into a working venture ecosystem rather than relying on it as a goodwill network. He is leading the build-out of a physical “Green Room” for Irish founders in New York, architecting the fund's co-investment strategy, and thinking hard about where a fund of DIVF's size best fits in an industry increasingly polarised between mega-funds and solo angels.In this conversation, we get into:Why the Irish network is a sourcing engine, not just a hospitality network — and what DIVF is building to keep it commercial rather than a mutual appreciation society.How DIVF co-invests alongside other funds without becoming dependent on whoever is leading the round.Why the right place for an Irish venture fund right now is not at either end of the cheque-size spectrum, and where DIVF deliberately sits.The most practical first step for a founder coming out of Ireland with no US network, plus where the gaps still are in the Irish ecosystem itself.If you're an Irish founder building for the US market — or thinking about the next layer of infrastructure the diaspora needs — this episode is the strategic counterpart to Marty's tactical advice from the earlier episodes.About the Digital Irish Venture Fund (DIVF)DIVF is an early-stage venture firm focused on Irish and Irish diaspora founders building for global markets. The fund operates as “friendly operators” rather than traditional shark VCs — providing hands-on operating help, warm introductions, and access to a diaspora network across New York, London and Dublin after the cheque is written. DIVF co-invests alongside other funds and works alongside the broader Irish ecosystem — Enterprise Ireland, universities, accelerators, and angels — to bring strong Irish companies into the US market.Want to get in contact with the Digital Irish team?

New findings from the Western Development Commission suggest that Clare could benefit significantly from stronger and more coordinated engagement with its global diaspora, alongside other counties in the Western Region. The report, Connected Communities, Global Relationships, highlights opportunities to boost tourism, enterprise, talent attraction and international links, while also noting that much of the current engagement is driven by community groups and volunteers without dedicated resources or long-term support structures. Dr Aisling Moroney, of Western Development Commission/ Lead Research On The Project, joined us to discuss the project. Image (c) Western Development Commission

Send us Fan MailWhat happens when a first generation is told “you're not Jamaican” in one but never fully seen as American either? In this episode, I explore Lens 6 of the Caribbean Diaspora Experience Model (CDEM): "You're Not Either Or, You're Both And".  Through stories from podcast guests, family experiences, and  observations over more than a decade of podcasting, I unpack the emotional complexity of Caribbean identity in the diaspora for first generation Caribbean Americans. This conversation explores what it means to navigate layered identities when your heritage, upbringing, geography, and community experiences don't always align neatly. From being called a “Yankee” by family members to reconnecting with culture later in adulthood, this episode validates the experiences of people who have spent years trying to prove they are “Caribbean enough.”The episode also explores:Why some immigrant parents distanced their children from cultureThe role of fear, assimilation, and survival in shaping identityWhy accents and language don't determine belongingThe emotional impact of cultural gatekeepingHow Caribbean identity evolves across generationsAt the heart of this episode is a reminder: you do not have to choose between identities. You can be Caribbean and American. Jamaican and Canadian. Guyanese and Brooklyn-born. Identity is layered, lived, and evolving.Resources MentionedCaribbean Diaspora Experience Model (CDEM)Previous Lens Episodes:Lens 1: Where You Start Shapes the JourneyLens 2: Where You Live + What You Seek = How You Connect Lens 3: Cultural Anchors Keep Us RootedLens 4: Your Identity Will ShiftLens 5: Culture Influences How We Show Up At WorkSubscribe to the NewsletterSupport How to Support Carry On FriendsDonate: If you believe in our mission and want to help amplify Caribbean voices, consider making a donation. Get Merch: Support Carry On Friends by purchasing merchandise from our store. Connect with @carryonfriends - Instagram | Facebook | YouTube A Breadfruit Media Production

Nicholas joins us to discuss the future of diaspora investment in Africa, how African entrepreneurs can access global capital, and why Africa's biggest challenge may not be a lack of money, but a lack of investment infrastructure, trust, and coordination.In this episode, Nicholas explains how ADN is connecting African founders, investors, policymakers, and global African talent through initiatives such as the African Diaspora Investment Symposium (ADIS), one of the leading diaspora investment and innovation platforms focused on Africa. He shares how ADN has supported more than 160 entrepreneurs through mentorship, funding opportunities, and strategic partnerships, while building a global network of over 15,000 entrepreneurs, investors, innovators, and changemakers committed to Africa's long term development.We explore the rapid growth of Africa's technology ecosystem, including artificial intelligence, fintech, digital health, venture capital, and diaspora led investment vehicles.

In this deeply personal episode of Conversations from the Diaspora, I sit down with Labourgeoise Bynum — a labor & delivery and postpartum nurse whose care I personally experienced during my own postpartum journey. What began as a conversation about Black maternal health quickly unfolded into something much deeper: identity, healing, advocacy, family dynamics, self-worth, and learning to speak up in spaces that often expect African women to remain silent.Labourgeoise opens up about navigating healthcare as a young Congolese-American woman, advocating for Black mothers in hospital rooms, and unlearning cultural conditioning that taught her to suppress her feelings and stay quiet around authority.We also discuss postpartum mental health, toxic family dynamics, marriage traditions and dowry culture, reclaiming African names and identity, and the emotional work of validating yourself when no one else does.This conversation is raw, vulnerable, and incredibly important — especially for women, healthcare professionals, children of immigrants, and anyone learning to choose themselves without guilt.

We explore the role music played in the creation of a uniquely Angolan consciousness as the country struggled toward independence in the 1960s and ‘70s after centuries of colonialism. Our guides will be producer Ned Sublette, on the ground in Angola, and Dr. Marissa Moorman, historian of southern Africa, and author of Intonations: A Social History of Music in Luanda, Angola from 1945 to Recent Times. We'll hear the pathbreaking group Ngola Ritmos, who dared sing songs in Kimbundu publicly when it was prohibited by the Portuguese. We'll hear immortal voices from the age when the guitar-driven style called semba ruled, as well as some snazzy ‘60s guitar instrumentals. Produced by Ned Sublette APWW #647

Every year, people in the diaspora send hundreds of billions of dollars home. It is one of the single most important streams of assistance, far outweighing all official foreign aid. So why does it get less attention when it outpaces aid flows? And can it – or should it – better complement international humanitarian response? Host Tammam Aloudat discusses the wide-reaching role of diaspora aid in Gaza, South Sudan, and beyond, its strengths and potential in crisis response, and its limitations.   Guests: Hala Sabbah, co-founder of The Sameer Project Daniel Mayang Mayen, researcher at the Sudd Institute   Got a question or feedback?

Stillstand und eine brüchige Waffenruhe in einem angeschlagenen Staat. Der Krieg mit den USA und die Spannungen mit Israel verändern den Iran mehr und mehr. Nach den Bombennächten herrscht dort die Angst vor neuen Eskalationen und die Versorgungslage für die Menschen verschlechtert sich. Während das Regime versucht, mit Propaganda und Kontrolle Stärke nach außen zu demonstrieren, schwindet bei vielen die Hoffnung, dass sich im Land noch etwas zum Positiveren verändern lässt. Gleichzeitig möchte die iranische Diaspora eben diese Hoffnung nicht aufgeben. Der Konflikt verändert auch die Machtverhältnisse in der Region. Welche Rolle spielen die Golfstaaten dabei? Wie stabil ist das iranische Regime noch? Was machen die Internetsperren und die schlechte Versorgung mit den Menschen im Land? Und wie viel Einfluss haben sie überhaupt auf das, was noch kommt? Darüber sprechen wir mit unserem ARD-Korrespondenten für den Iran, außerdem mit der Journalistin Gilda Sahebi, mit dem Islamwissenschaftler Sebastian Sons vom Bonner CARPO Institut und mit dem ehemaligen Spitzendiplomaten und Iran-Kenner Hans-Dieter Lucas.

Our Hip Deep edition “A Tale of Two Rebellions,” produced in August, 2007, recounts the stories of two remarkable military campaigns in early Islamic history. Both uprisings take place in the late 9th century, both involve Africans as key players, and both set the scene for the crystallization of the Sunni-Shi'ite divide in Islam, which of course continues to this day.
