George De Stefano is an author, journalist, and critic. In my show, Anti-Fascist Pasta Night, I make reference to MAGAroni, a new moniker for right-wing Italian-Americans. I knew I needed to find the inventor of this hysterical slogan. Well, George is the inventor! Please welcome to the show, the creator of the MAGAroni tag, among so many other amazing things.

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.

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?

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

Episode 226 with Nicholas Bassey, Chief Operations and Program Officer at the African Diaspora Network (ADN), an organisation mobilising diaspora investment, entrepreneurship, innovation, and strategic partnerships to accelerate economic growth across Africa. 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. Nicholas breaks down why Silicon Valley is paying closer attention to Africa's innovation economy, the rise of African startups attracting international investors, and how diaspora communities can move beyond remittances towards structured investment opportunities that create long term economic value across the continent.What We Discuss With NicholaWhy Africa's biggest challenge may not be capital, but investment infrastructure, coordination, and trust.How diaspora capital can move beyond remittances into scalable investment opportunities across Africa.The future of African startups, venture capital, fintech, AI, and innovation ecosystems.What Silicon Valley investors still misunderstand about African entrepreneurship and business growth.How the African Diaspora Network is connecting entrepreneurs, investors, policymakers, and global African talent to shape Africa's economic future.Did you miss my previous episode where I discus Why Hiring and Paying Employees in Africa Is Harder Than Most Companies Expect?

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.

In this episode, Martha and I touched on several topics as they pertain to the African History dispersed throughout the Diaspora. I chose this topic to combine the methods we, as African Americans, used to respond to language hurled at us as insults. We knew how to respond without physical contact or hardware. We hope you enjoy the episode.

La Marche du monde enregistrée en public au Musée d'Histoire de Nantes pour la 4ème édition d'Expressions décoloniales. Une invitation à revisiter l'histoire de l'esclavage et de la traite négrière en donnant de l'espace à de nouveaux récits historiques et artistiques pour interroger quatre siècles d'une histoire monde dont nous sommes toutes et tous les descendants. C'est notre Histoire partagée et RFI est très fière de s'associer comme chaque année au Temps des mémoires, temps des commémorations de l'esclavage, de ses victimes et des combats pour son abolition.    Le Musée d'Histoire de Nantes est devenu une référence internationale pour la qualité de ses différents parcours proposés sur l'histoire longue de la ville, notamment pour son parcours muséal sur l'histoire de l'esclavage et de la traite. Au fil des œuvres, les visiteurs découvrent comment la ville de Nantes est devenue le premier port français de traite des êtres humains avec plus de 42% des départs d'expéditions de traite entre 1707 et 1793. Un commerce des esclaves dans lequel se sont spécialisées des familles d'armateurs tout comme de nombreuses activités économiques de la ville et de la région. Pour sa quatrième édition, la manifestation « Expression (s) décoloniale (s) » initiée par la directrice scientifique du Musée Krytel Gualdé invite trois personnalités, à la croisée de l'histoire, de l'art et de la mémoire: les artistes Rosana Paulino et Omar Victor Diop, et l'historienne Lylly Houngnihin. L'historienne ouest-africaine Lylly Houngnihin, fondatrice et directrice de Totems Afrikaraïbes, interpelle les visiteurs par une dizaine de textes mêlant histoire, mémoire, poésie, culture et sensibilité, attachés à des objets choisis dans le parcours permanent. Dans une démarche historique, elle envisage les collections du musée de manière transversale : « Mon travail s'oriente vers une exploration des objets comme matrices de mémoire. Je souhaite mettre en lumière ce que j'appelle des « persistances atlantiques » : les formes symboliques, plastiques et rituelles qui ont circulé de l'Afrique vers d'autres territoires, souvent en dépit des violences extrêmes de la traite. Les objets deviennent alors des passeurs d'expérience : ils condensent des récits de perte, de déplacement, mais aussi de recréation esthétique, social, et culturelle. » Depuis Sao Paulo, Rosana Paulino, artiste incontournable de la scène artistique brésilienne, investit, avec plus d'une dizaine d'œuvres majeures, le parcours d'exposition. Dessins, peintures, sculptures, vidéos, et installations en regard des documents historiques du musée sur plusieurs thématiques rendant hommage aux femmes afro-brésiliennes. Les femmes victimes de la traite atlantique et de l'esclavage colonial furent-elles des victimes comme les autres ? Quelles formes particulières de violence leur furent-elles infligées ? Quel rôle fondamental jouèrent-elles dans la transmission des savoirs hérités du continent africain ? Enfin, derrière le silence et le déni, de quelle force de résilience disposèrent-elles pour tenir ? Rosana Paulino, à travers les réponses que ses œuvres nous apportent, nous éclaire sur ces points en explorant ce qui subsiste et ce qui disparait. Enfin, l'artiste sénégalais Omar Victor Diop présente deux séries de photographies emblématiques. La première, intitulée Diaspora, inspirée de portraits réalisés entre le 15ème et le 19ème siècle, met en valeur des personnes ayant traversé les lignes de l'histoire coloniale européenne à l'époque moderne. Ainsi, c'est l'agentivité de ceux qui, depuis l'Afrique, furent les victimes ou les acteurs de ce passé, qui est mise en avant, leur individualité faisant force. La seconde série, intitulée Liberty évoque des moments-clés, fondateurs et fondamentaux, de la protestation noire à l'échelle mondiale et dans une dimension historique, des luttes anticoloniales dans les Caraïbes, à celles menées sur le continent africain jusqu'aux mouvements antiségrégationnistes et aux manifestations contemporaines contre les violences racistes. Un grand merci à toute l'équipe du musée d'Histoire de Nantes dont le formidable parcours d'exposition est à découvrir ici.

Medikamentenpreise sind in der Schweiz reguliert. Das heisst: Pharmafirmen können einen Preis vorschlagen, aber letztlich entscheidet die Behörde aufgrund konkreter Kriterien. Was aber, wenn die Vorstellungen weit auseinander gehen? Wir erklären es, am Beispiel eines Krebsmedikaments.

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.

Saylor just broke Strategy's "NEVER SELL" Bitcoin rule. The $1.5B dividend math, the 11.5% yield, the Q1 -$12.5B net loss, and what it means for Canadian MSTR holders — explained.Michael Saylor told investors on Strategy's Q1 2026 earnings call that he will "probably sell some Bitcoin to pay a dividend, just to inoculate the market and send the message that we did it." Three days later he walked it back, saying the remark wasintended to "jam short-sellers and 'haters.'" Strategy holds 818,334 BTC at an average cost basis of $75,537. The annualized preferred dividend obligation is roughly $1.5 billion. Q1 net loss was $12.54 billion. Bitcoin briefly traded below $81,000 after the call.In this episode of the Canadian Bitcoiners Podcast:- The actual mechanism: buy with credit, let it appreciate, sell to fund preferreds- Why this isn't an MSTR "Ponzi" reveal — and why it kind of is- Sequans' 1,025 BTC sale, the $35.9M convertible-note pressure, and what "treasury reckoning" looks like in practice- Canada's first regulated CAD stablecoin: Tetra's CADD with Shopify and National Bank backing- Coinbase cuts 14% of staff for "AI-native pods" while the exchange goes down for an AWS chiller failure- Germany ends its 12-month Bitcoin tax exemption — €2B revenue target by 2027- The Netherlands prepares 36% tax on UNREALIZED Bitcoin gains by 2028- Bitcoin Core's first-ever memory-safety bug, CVE-2024-52911, quietly patched a year before public disclosure- Notable North: Alberta separation petition crosses 300k signatures, Honda walks from a $15B Ontario EV plant, Doug Ford sacks the Conestoga College board, Ottawa finally starts tracking which temporary residents have actually leftThe orange-pill takeaway: every "treasury company" model — Strategy, Sequans, the next wave — gets stress-tested when the dividends and debts come due in fiat. The companies that buy and never sell are betting that their cost of capital stayslower than Bitcoin's CAGR forever. Saylor just admitted that the bet has a release valve.

On retrouve avec un plaisir renouvelé l'écrivain Mauricio Ségura pour discuter de son excellent roman Les amandiers en fleurs, une construction narrative complexe qui aborde la visite d'Albert Camus au Chili à la fin des années 40 avec comme toile de fond, la dictature de Pinochet et la mémoire des  femmes qui ont courageusement combattu la dictature là-bas et ici à Montréal et les traces laissées par ces combats sur leurs familles.  C'est aussi le retour de la chronique de Maxime Laprise qui a (enfin) terminé son doctorat et qui a maintenant le temps de réfléchir aux discours apocalyptiques qui ont clairsemé l'histoire. Fred termine l'épisode avec une réflexion sur les épiceries publiques déjà fortement critiquées (Ô surprise) dans les médias traditionnels.

Ouganda : vers la criminalisation des transferts d'argent de la diaspora ?  En Ouganda, transférer de l'argent depuis l'étranger pourrait bientôt devenir un crime. Intitulé « protection de la souveraineté », ce projet de loi est en discussion au Parlement. Concrètement, toute personne souhaitant recevoir de l'argent de la diaspora devra obtenir une autorisation du ministère de l'Intérieur, sous peine de sanctions. Pourquoi ces envois d'argent dérangent-ils autant le gouvernement ?  Avec Christina Okello, journaliste au service Afrique de RFI.      Taïwan : pourquoi l'Eswatini est le seul pays africain à défier la Chine ?  Dix jours après avoir annulé sa visite en Eswatini à cause de pressions des Chinois sur plusieurs pays africains pour qu'ils révoquent les autorisations de survol, le président taiwanais Lai Ching-te est finalement parvenu à se rendre sur place. Quelles étaient exactement les pressions de Pékin ? Pourquoi l'Eswatini, petit pays au sud de l'Afrique, est-il le seul du continent à soutenir Taïwan ? Avec Clea Broadhurst, correspondante permanente de RFI à Pékin.        Opep+ : quel avenir pour l'organisation après le retrait d'Abou Dhabi ?   Frustrés de ne pas pouvoir produire autant qu'ils le souhaitent, les Émirats arabes unis ont annoncé leur retrait de l'Opep+, l'Organisation des pays exportateurs de pétrole. À quel point cette décision peut-elle impacter le prix du baril de pétrole à l'échelle mondiale ?

Many conservatives see American politics as a clash of ideologies in the marketplace of ideas. But there are other forces sitting under the surface that shape our elections. Large waves of immigration create foreign diasporas that seek to use their shared political power to secure advantages for their own communities, or in some cases to benefit the country they came from. We'll be looking at Samuel Huntington's "Clash of Civilizations" to help us better understand the ramifications of this phenomenon.

Jorge Ben Jor first began to experiment with fusions of samba, bossa nova, rhythm ‘n' blues and soul in the early 1960s. Together with Caetano Veloso and Gilberto Gil, he participated in the watershed cultural movement, Tropicália, in the late 1960s. In the 1970s, he further explored Afro-Brazilian history and culture in a series of popular albums that have since become key points of reference for a contemporary neo-soul movement. Jorge Ben Jor continues to be an active presence in Brazilian popular music, and he grants us a rare interview to tell his story. The program is produced by Sean Barlow and coproduced with Christopher Dunn, author of Brutality Garden: Tropicália and the Emergence of a Brazilian Counterculture (University of North Carolina Press, 2001) as part of Afropop Worldwide's Hip Deep series.
