Mehr Diaspora Diaries

Diaspora Diaries is about personhood and identity, about education and career, about friendship and intimacy. Basically it’s just about people within the diaspora, trying to negotiate with this world. We’ll be drawing on politics, literature, history, pop culture, and thinkers like Audre Lorde, Mame-Fatou Niang and even a touch of Paul Gilroy to help us explore how our past shapes our present. As this podcast progresses you’ll hear from scholars, students, poets and other voices. So sit back, grab a drink (or two), and maybe a journal. This is Diaspora Diaries.

Episode S2 Ep5: The Complexities of “Statelessness” Cover

S2 Ep5: The Complexities of “Statelessness”

In this episode, Awa sits down with Lavin Ousi, a returning guest from Season 1,  to explore what it means to navigate Kurdish identity without a state formally recognised under international law, and how culture, language, and community hold that identity together beyond borders. The episode reflects on the complexities of “statelessness,” and the ways Kurdish identities are continuously shaped through everyday acts of self-determination, self-validation, and self-legitimisation.

Episode S2 Ep3: All About Love Cover

S2 Ep3: All About Love

In this episode, Awa is in conversation with Fuad Busoir about love – what it means, how it is recognised, and whether it’s something felt or practised. Moving between romantic relationships, friendship and family, they reflect on the ways love shapes how people relate to one another, to space, and to themselves. Along the way, they sit with questions of accountability, intention, and whether love can ever be separate from politics – or if it is always quietly structuring the worlds being built.

S2 Ep2: Rethinking Borders: Race and the Politics of Belonging

In this episode, Awa sits down with scholar Luke de Noronha to question what borders really do in our everyday lives. From citizenship and belonging to the politics behind “migration crises,” they explore how borders shape who belongs, who is welcomed, and who is framed as a threat.  JINGLE “Niamey Nights”, Bamako Bae, Shutterstock, ⁠⁠https://www.shutterstock.com/music/track-1221135-niamey-nights⁠ [https://www.shutterstock.com/music/track-1221135-niamey-nights] REFERENCES Bradley, Gracie Mae, and Luke De Noronha.

Episode S2 Ep1: Spoken Word and the Politics of Awareness Cover

S2 Ep1: Spoken Word and the Politics of Awareness

In this episode, Awa speaks with spoken word artist Tariq Brown about using poetry to make power visible. They explore how he transforms complex, often academic ideas – from capitalism to systemic oppression – into poetic, thought-provoking verse. It’s a conversation about heritage, awareness, and the poet’s role in illuminating systems of oppression.
