Today we are talking with Jeff Le. Today's episode is a long one. Normally, I would break this out into two episodes, but I decided to give these critical and timely topics the respect they deserve, to release this episode in its entirety and let you listen to it at your leisure. I want to thank Jeff for joining me on the show and sharing his rich insight and experience with us today.

He shares just how important it is to have conversations about standing against Asian hate. Stay tuned! Here are the things to expect in this episode: People treat you based on what they think your perceived value is. Racism is not an innate thing, rather it's a learned thing that comes from somewhere. How he went from not owning a coat to working and traveling to about 85 countries. People who have the least always give the most. It's hard being in politics as an Asian American. Having a rank doesn't protect you from who you are if you are inherently treated as less there. It's important to have an engaged citizenry, which is really hard in a time where people don't talk to others and just stay in their little corners. Horrible things happen when good people decide not to do something. If you speak with clarity and honesty, people will take it seriously. What are some things we can do to support the Afghan people?

Sometimes an image is so powerful it breaks through political rhetoric, media noise and sears into the soul. A recent video of Afghani children being foisted over the Kabul airport wall and into the arms of American soldiers resonates in this way. What we don't see is the organized process underway by Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Services (LIRS) to help Afghans who supported the U.S. Military as translators, drivers and guards, flee Afghanistan and resettle in America. LIRS has been at the forefront of this work for 80 years and is now mobilizing a network of churches, nonprofits and volunteers to welcome these families. CEO Krish O'Mara Vignarajah knows that in these divisive times even resettlement work will be politicized, and Afghan families will be demonized. And LIRS not only resettles families it advocates in Congress for immigration policies that are long overdue. Having lived the refugee experience and served at the highest levels of the State Department during the Obama Administration she is committed to the mission and prepared for resistance. Krish perseveres to honor these families and her own.

Change-making looks different for every person. It takes the work of an entire community to welcome our refugee friends; from the people donating furniture and setting up apartments to those who meet them at the airport and those walk alongside the refugees helping them adapt to their new environment during those crucial first few months. Alex, and all those working at Lutheran Family Services Rocky Mountains, remind us that the refugees they serve are people who just want a fresh start in life. They want the chance to watch their children grow up in safety. They desire to work and provide for their families. They have dreams and goals just as we do. However, we haven't been forced to flee for our lives as they have. I'm so thankful LFSRM exists to give these refugees a welcoming smile, cultural guidance, and a safe home to start their lives over in. Alex's quote:    "The plain fact is that the planet does not need more successful people, but it does desperately need more peacemakers, healers, restorers, storytellers and lovers of every kind." by David W.

The Lagos State Internal Revenue Service (LIRS) has extended the deadline for filing of Annual Tax Returns to June 30, 2020. This according to the agency is in continuous effort to provide the much-needed relief to taxpayers and mitigate the economic impact of COVID-19 pandemic. According to a statement signed on Tuesday by LIRS Head of Corporate Communications, Monsurat Amasa , it said annual returns for individuals (both employees and self-employed persons) that were initially due on May 31st, 2020 can now be filed any time on or before the 30th of June, 2020. LIRS, therefore, urged taxpayers to take advantage of the new extension to file their returns. Taxpayers are also advised to access the LIRS eTax platforms for all tax administration matters, including filing of annual returns, generation of assessment and payment schedule and payment of the liabilities from the comfort of their homes and offices. --- This episode is sponsored by · Afrolit Podcast: Hosted by Ekua PM, Afrolit shares the stories of multi-faceted Africans one episode at a time. https://open.spotify.com/show/2nJxiiYRyfMQlDEXXpzlZS?si=mmgODX3NQ-yfQvR0JRH-WA Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/newscast-africa/support

Six firms have been sealed for failure to remit N42.68 million Personal Income Tax of their staff to the Lagos state government. This information is according to Seyi Alade, the Director, Legal Services of the Lagos State Internal Revenue Service (LIRS). The Legal Director of the state revenue’s service said it was a decision that was long overdue. He disclosed that the affected companies defaulted in the area of tax liabilities from 2014 to 2016 and refused to pay even after an audit was conducted on them and a period of grace was extended to them. He noted that the LIRS had stopped shutting down companies which failed to remit their taxes in order to give room for voluntary compliance. However, a few still flouted the rules and chose not to pay. Alade went on to reiterate the commitment of the LIRS in ensuring that taxes were remitted to the state and promised to move in the direction of unyielding companies which failed to remit tax. He explained that remittances of Consumption and Personal Income Taxes must be adhered to, noting its importance as key drivers for the development of the state and the benefit for the people.--- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/newscast-africa/support --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/newscast-africa/support Learn more about your ad choices.
