USA Africa Dialogue Series - Intersections Podcast | Black Immigrants and African Diaspora in the U.S.

Dear colleagues and friends,

I'm excited to share my recent conversation on "Intersections: A podcast hosted by Dr. Felecia Russell", where we explore the growing African immigrant population in the U.S. and the urgent need for inclusive immigration advocacy.

In this episode, we discuss:

* The rising numbers and visibility of African immigrants—and why it matters for policy

* Wakanda, Vibranium, Ryan Coogler and why the race for critical minerals relates to the crisis in Congo, displacement and migration.

* The fight to keep in-State tuition in Texas for undocumented students.

* The distinctions between refugees, asylees, and H-1B holders, and what that means for our advocacy.

* How African Americans and African immigrants can build solidarity around immigration justice

* Why civic engagement and political empowerment are critical for the diaspora.

* The global root causes of migration and how we can begin addressing them

This episode is a call to action for anyone who cares about immigration, Black unity, and building power through informed advocacy. Please listen, share, and let me know your thoughts!

Warm regards,

Nneka S. Achapu
