    The Role of Diaspora: Women, Power, and the Development Dilemma with Themrise Khan

    In this episode we speak to Themrise Khan, an independent analyst, writer and researcher. Her insight challenges much of the conventional wisdom surrounding foreign aid. Does it have the impact that we’d like or is it perpetuating and supporting existing infrastructure issues? From post-World War II reconstruction efforts to the significant financial aid given to Pakistan after 9/11, we unravel the complex relationship between development aid and foreign policy. Themrise looks at some of the critical differences between development and humanitarian aid, drawing forth her own and many other women’s experiences of working i n international development-based roles. From the political to the personal, through our reflections, we uncover some of the highs and lows of working international development. From the inspiring legacy of humanitarians like Molana Abdul Sattar Edhi to the frustrations of stalled progress. This interview takes a hard look at migration, a constant feature of our headlines, and dissects the economic motivations of aid and the often hostile reception migrants face in host countries. For the diaspora, the episode emphasize responsible engagement and the importance of supporting their homelands thoughtfully. The opinions shared on this forum are the opinions of the individuals and are not the opinions of the organizations and institutes that they work for.

    Diaspora Engagement through Music and Activism with Sherlee Skai

    In honor of Haitian Heritage Month and Haitian Flag Day, Diaspora in Development brings you something different! We speak to singer-songwriter Sherlee Skai about the role artists can play in shedding light on injustices at home or to their communities worldwide. Born and raised in Haiti, Sherlee Skai's journey into the world of music began at a young age. Surrounded by the rich tapestry of Haitian culture and folklore, she was captivated by the rhythmic beats of traditional music and the soul-stirring melodies of jazz and soul. Drawing inspiration from her cultural heritage, Sherlee embarked on a musical odyssey that would shape her identity as an artist, activist, and educator. Fuelled by a passion for social justice and equality, Sherlee Skai emerged as a powerful voice for change within her community and beyond. Drawing upon her own experiences as a Haitian woman navigating the complexities of identity and belonging, she used her platform as an artist to shed light on the struggles and triumphs of the marginalized. Through her music and activism, Sherlee Skai became a tireless advocate for the underprivileged, challenging societal norms and advocating for greater inclusivity, representation, and empowerment.
