Today’s guests on Black Diplomats are Pam Campos-Palma and Melissa Bryant, two women who have complicated relationships with America. Both women are military vets, one the daughter of immigrants, one a fourth-generation service member. Both were taught that the military is a pathway to prosperity. Both experienced the racism and misogyny that are defining parts of living in America, and both persevered. They know what it’s like to love this country, even when it doesn’t love you back. Host Terrell J. Starr asks Campos-Palma and Bryant what patriotism means to them, and talks about the way that word has been bound up with whiteness in the US. Is it possible for Americans be truly patriotic without also being white? From our bloated nuclear program to our militarized police departments, the philosophy of safety in the US is not capable of providing protection from the threats of the modern world. Rethinking safety means more than updating weapons systems and technology. Conversations like this one are defining the future, helping America work better for us all.

On this episode of Black Diplomats, host Terrell J. Starr is joined by the two people who got him into podcasting: Maria Hinojosa and Julio Ricardo Varela, hosts of the In The Thick podcast. The 2020 election for President of the United States was this week, and it looks like Joe Biden is going to win the Electoral College count, as well as the popular vote. What happens in the courts is yet to be seen. All year long people have been predicting a Blue Wave that would result in control of both houses of Congress, and the Executive, but at this point Democrats are barely holding onto a narrow majority in the House and may not win the Senate. What happened to the Wave? And how did President Trump increase his percentage of the vote among white people?! As a reporter who was the first Latina in many newsrooms, Maria Hinojosa dreamt of a space where she could create independent, multimedia journalism that explores and gives a critical voice to the diverse American experience. To that end, in 2010, she created Futuro Media, an independent, nonprofit organization based in Harlem, NYC with the mission to create multimedia content for and about the new American mainstream in the service of empowering people to navigate the complexities of an increasingly diverse and connected world. Julio (Julito) Ricardo Varela is the Founder and Publisher of http://latinorebels.com/ (Latino Rebels). He created this community in 2011, propelling it to a must-visit source in the digital space. In 2018, Latino Rebels was acquired by Maria Hinojosa’s Futuro Media, an award-winning independent nonprofit media company based in Harlem. As Digital Media Director for Futuro Media, Julio works with the Latino USA team to promote the show’s episodes and expand its digital reach. He is a frequent contributor to the show and the editor of the show’s official site, http://latinousa.org/ (LatinoUSA.org). He also co-hosts http://inthethick.org/ (In The Thick) with Maria Hinojosa. Recently, he was named by Futuro to focus on the company’s new business opportunities. Check out www.blackdiplomats.net for more information. Thank you for listening!

Starr is joined by Sarah Kendzior and Andrea Chalupa, founders of the podcast juggernaut Gaslit Nation. Terrell asks them to define what a kleptocratic government looks like for folks who might not be familiar with the word, and then they cover some of the many examples from the Trump Administration. They talk about the Russian oligarchs and advisors who’ve steered Trump from the start, and what a second term could look like. With friends like Paul Manafort, who has time for enemies? Gaslit Nation is hosted by writers https://www.twitter.com/sarahkendzior (Sarah Kendzior )and https://www.twitter.com/andreachalupa (Andrea Chalupa), experts on authoritarian states who warned America about election hacking before the 2016 election.

Today’s episode of Black Diplomats is a primer on the war in Nagorno-Karabakh, a disputed region in the mountains between Armenia and Azerbaijan. Host Terrell J. Starr talks to Lika Zakaryan, a journalist who has spent her life in Nagorno-Karabakh, known as Artsakh to the locals. Over 90% of the population of Artsakh is ethnically Armenian, but due to political wrangling in the Soviet era it is considered a territory of Azerbaijan. Zakaryan could hear bombs going off in the background during our interview, and was interrupted near the end with news of a ceasefire planned for the next morning. With family and friends on the front lines, Zakaryan has chosen to tell human stories rather than political ones. Her powerful testimonials remind us all of the cost of violence, and the indifference of the people in power. Lika Zakaryan is a journalist with CIVILNET who is reporting directly from Stepanakert, the capital of Nagorno-Karabakh where she was born and raised, and currently lives. Go to https://twitter.com/LikaZakaryan (her Twitter feed) to access her reporting from the ground.  Thank you for listening!

On Black Diplomats this week, host Terrell J. Starr is joined by two experts in world affairs to talk about President Trump’s foreign policies, and how he has tried to use the State Department to further his own interests. What does having a White Supremacist in Chief mean for American relations with the countries in Africa? They also discuss the advantages of diversity in the diplomatic corps from an insiders perspective, and what it’s going to take to repair the damage done by Tump’s shallow posturing. Desiree Cormier Smith is the Senior Policy Advisor for Africa, Europe, and Eurasia for the Open Society Foundations. Previously, she was a Senior Director of the Africa practice at Albright Stonebridge Group, a strategic advisory firm. Prior to that, she was a Foreign Service Officer with assignments in Ethiopia, Mexico, South Africa, and Washington, DC. Mr. Travis L. Adkins is a Lecturer of African and Security Studies at the Walsh School of Foreign Service at Georgetown University.

Black Diplomats is back to talk about nuclear non-proliferation with two experts from Eastern Europe - Polina Sinovits from Ukraine, and Ekaterina Mikhaylenko from Russia. Both women study, write, and teach about the way nuclear weapons affect international relations, and the massive, stupid threat they pose to the world. Host Terrell J. Starr has interviewed many experts in the field and contributes his own analysis of the ways the so-called Nuclear Club contributes to maintaining white supremacy on a global scale. They discuss the absurd numbers of nuclear weapons around the world and the cost to maintain them, disarm the myth of deterrence, and talk about what steps must be taken to walk humanity back from the brink. Ekaterina Mikhaylenko is Associate Professor at the Department of Theory and History of International Relations of Ural Federal University.

This is the third episode in our special coverage of the revolution in Belarus. After their last election was rigged to keep a dictator in power, hundreds of thousands of people have taken to the streets to demand he step down. Top activists have been prosecuted, causing well known politicians and journalists to flee the country in fear for their safety. Host Terrell J. Starr talked to Katsiaryna Shmatsina, a Belarusian political analyst focused on Belarusian foreign policy, regional security, and the impact of great power relations on smaller actors. Shmatsina is one of the people who left Belarus after seeing the authoritarian government crack down.

Mike Espy was born and raised in Mississippi, and was Assistant Secretary of State, then Assistant Attorney General, before becoming a Congressman in 1986. He was the first Black congressman from Mississippi since Reconstruction, and then became Secretary of Agriculture under Bill Clinton, the first Black person to hold that position in our nation’s history. Now Espy is running to replace Cindy Hyde-Smith, who was appointed by a Republican governor after Thad Cochran retired from the seat. Hyde-Smith has a long history of engaging with racist Southern tropes, defending racist symbols, and supporting self-segregated schooling. Host Terrell J. Starr talks to Espy about running for Senate in the age of COVID-19, his work with different non-profit organizations, and American relations with the countries of Africa. Espy is an expert on trade, so he shares his thoughts on the tariff war the U.S. has been waging on China, investing in developing nations, and how a few rotten soybeans can be a symbol of a global market shift. Thank you for listening!

On this episode of Black Diplomats we’re talking to three Transgender Black Women in three different countries about what liberation looks like for them. There is more transgender representation in media and politics than ever before, but transgender people still have to deal with hate and misgendering. Host Terrell J. Starr brings together a brilliant panel of activists from the US, Nigeria, and South Africa to fill us in on where the movement stands today, what it means for their fight to be connected on a global scale, and the true sound of freedom for Transgender Black Women everywhere. Our guests include Diamond Stylz in Houston, Texas, Executive Director of Black Trans Women Inc., a national non-profit that is led by Black trans women focused on social advocacy, positive visibility and building strong leadership among Black trans advocates, activists, and our allies. We also have Audrey Mbugua, a Kenyan activist who heads Transgender Education and Advocacy (TEA), an organization that defends the rights of transgender individuals in Kenya. In 2014, Mbugua won a landmark case, wherein the Kenya National Examinations Council was ordered to legally change Mbugua’s name and remove the existing gender designation on her academic certificates. Rounding out our brilliant panel is Ricki Kgositau, an openly identified transwoman from Botswana who lives in Cape Town, South Africa. She is Executive Director to an International NGO known as Accountability International, which has a global team in Belgium, Kenya, Sweden (where it was founded and registered) and South Africa (where she is based in the Cape Town office).

When asked about the security services in Belarus, journalist Hanna Liubakova has a simple message: “There are no rules.” Black Diplomats host Terrell J. Starr interviews Liubakova about the ongoing protests in her country, and the brutal methods being used to shut them down. As a frontline journalist Liubakova and her colleagues have documented the beatings, arrests, and other crowd control methods employed by a corrupt dictator to maintain his hold on power. This is a special episode of Black Diplomats, released in addition to our regularly scheduled weekly shows.

This week on Black Diplomats, host Terrell J. Starr welcomes Maryia Sadouskaya-Komlach, a media development specialist who has lived and worked all over Europe, but is from Belarus. There have been nationwide protests in her home country for more than a month at the time of this recording, with the goal of ousting dictator Alexander Lukashenko and establishing a democracy. “The constitution of Belarus still says there has to be free and fair elections!,” says Sadouskaya-Komlach in the interview. “The constitution of Belarus says that Belarus is a unitary, sovereign, democratic state. So the people came there to defend their constitution. To defend their basic right.” Maryia’s research interests are democracy transition, human rights, media development in "closed" environments, including exiled media, disinformation, and the development of new communication and media strategies and responses. Being a Belarus native, she has covered the EU-Belarus relations and Belarusian foreign policy since 2001.  In 2015, Maryia advised the European Endowment for Democracy on its Feasibility Study on Russian-language Media Initiatives.

She looks for synergies between like-minded professionals and organizations all over the globe and specializes in creating and managing networks. Thank you for listening!

In this very special episode of Black Diplomats, host Terrell J. Starr takes a break from the news cycle to talk about going abroad as a Black person from America. He’s been in the Carpathian mountains in Ukraine for a few weeks, away from the hustle and noise of New York, enjoying the countryside. With the separation comes a kind of clarity. Terrell talks about the pressures of being Black, and the benefits of relieving those pressures when the opportunity arises. And he asks a simple question: what could life be like in a world without racism, where people could simply exist as people? “I support the protests,” he says, “but what would it be like if I didn’t have to protest? What if I could just be?” Thank you for listening!

Black Diplomats takes a deep dive into the global struggle for human rights with an episode about LGBTQ+ pride in Russia and Eastern Europe. As activists build their movement, they watch government propaganda, religious authorities, and far-right extremists join together to protest every step toward equality, often with violent results. Pride parades are celebrations in many places around the world, but in Georgia and other former Soviet states Pride is still dangerous and rainbow flags are an act of rebellion. Our guests today are three of the loudest rebels. Mariam Kvaratskhelia is an organizer with Tblisi Pride, Svetlana Zakharova is a Russian activist fighting on multiple fronts, and journalist Maksym Eristavi is carrying the narrative of their movement all over the world. Host Terrell J. Starr marched in the Kyiv Pride parade in 2019, where he planned to meet up with Eristavi in person, but the crowd was too big for them to find each other. They agreed this was a good problem to have. This brilliant panel talks about the battle for civil rights, how the Black Lives Matter and Pride movements intersect, and what self-care means when you’re a protestor…in a pandemic. Svetlana Zakharova is a feminist, LGBTQI activist and human rights defender based in Russia. She holds two MA degrees, in International Relations and Gender Studies. Svetlana has five years of work experience with Russian LGBT Network, the largest LGBT organisation in Russia as a Communications Manager. Since November 2017, she is a Board member of the Russian LGBT Network. Mariam Kvaratskhelia has dedicated herself to LGBTQI advocacy and rights campaigns. As an organizer with Tblisi Pride she is on the frontlines, and often meets with other activists around Europe to network their movement for change. Maksym Eristavi is a journalist and human rights advocate in Eastern Europe. Featured on NowThis, Gaycation by VICE, Voice of America, BILD, and many others, Maksym explores the intersection of identity politics, disinformation, and Russian colonialism. He has traveled widely and spoken about his work in the UK and Sweden, and at a hearing of the United States Senate.

Disinformation from Russia was a big subject during the 2016 election for President of the United States, and 2020 is turning out to be no different. The US isn’t the only one dealing with this issue, in fact it’s a lively topic in former Soviet states all over Eastern Europe. Ukraine has gone so far as to ban a Russian-backed media organization, who responded by labeling it an attack on free speech. But our guests say something has to be done to combat the power of state propaganda coming from one of the worlds savviest players. Black Diplomats is hosted by Terrell J. Starr.
