It was a pleasure interviewing Afro-Italian Kwanza Musi Dos Santos during my stop in Rome last week. She’s one of Italy’s most prominent anti-racism activists. I’ll be posting my interview with her on my new YouTube channel in May. Stay tuned!
Really excited to share my interview with Neo Mosa, a Black Trans woman from South Africa who says she found herself in Poland. Full interview drops next month on my new YouTube channel. Stay tuned!
Really happy to meet @bsky.app COO @rose.bsky.team at the International Journalism Festival in Perugia this weekend!
Donald Trump’s latest attack on renewables has reignited calls to drill the North Sea for oil – despite research showing it won’t lower energy bills.
Yep! And, by the way, @ksvarnon.bsky.social is a leading expert on Russia, Ukraine and the intersection of race. She is also a keen political analyst. You should be following her.
If you are a Ukrainian refugee in Warsaw, Rome, Parugia or New York City, I want to talk to you!
I’m in Warsaw April 14 and April 20
Perugia April 16-18
Rome April 15 and 19
And I’ll be in New York City May 15 to early June.
DM or comment below if you’re interested. #UkrainianView
The man charged with killing Iryna Zarutska is deemed unfit for trial and MAGA is losing its mind.
But why does MAGA have more smoke for a man who killed 1 “white woman,” but refuses to go after Vladimir Putin who has killed thousands of them during his 12-plus year war and abducts their children?
What human rights crimes is Russia committing in Africa?

Are you a Ukrainian refugee in Warsaw, Rome or Perugia (Italy)? Were you a refugee abroad and are now back in Kyiv? If so, I’d like to interview you on centra about your experiences.
DM me or let me know you’re interested in the comments.
If y’all wanna know what makes me tick as a foreign policy expert, we gotta take it back to Detroit, my HBCU and the Black folks who helped me get to where I am.
Black America helped me understand Ukraine.
Thanks for helping me share my story, @nolahaynes1.substack.com! #ukrainianview
Hey, Ukrainians: are y’all “white?” MAGA seems to think so. #ukrainianview
So that is why you don’t see a lot of them posting online. Listen to one story Priscillia tells of a friend who was arrested for having locs that were deemed unacceptable in Iranian society.
Here’s the full interview:
They face the same types of abuse as any other Iranian and even worse because they’ll are Black and racism in the Islamic Republic is rampant—from the regime and the general society.
Black Iranians are almost never discussed in news reports concerning the police abuse during the protests in Iran, but they have stories to tell.
Priscillia Kounkou Hoveyda, a Black Iranian filmmaker, said Black Iranians keep a low cover because they’ll be arrested if they don’t.
Here’s the RUTA discussion on the return of molotovs-ribbentrops from the History is not an accident webinar series. Very worth listening to @kseniyaoksamytna.bsky.social, @terrelljstarr.bsky.social and @martkuldkepp.bsky.social, with @epp-annus.bsky.social moderating

Listen to Afro-Iranians talk about what life is like in Iran. Priscillia Kounlou Hoveyda, an Afro-Iranian filmmaker and founder of the Collective for Black Iranians, told me during a recent interview that the Iranian leadership weaponizes Black pain for PR purposes.

Lots of people are suggesting—as I initially did—that Trump’s terms to end his war with Iran mirror those Obama negotiated in the JCPOA.
They aren’t the same at all. Arms control expert @NicoleGrajewski helped me break down why.
Good morning from Kyiv.

Finnish President Alexander Stubb is playing chess. Donald Trump is playing checkers. #ukrainianview
Ukrainians are learning the hard way that their proximity to whiteness that has long protected them from U.S.-style law enforcement abuse is no longer valid in Trump’s xenophobic America.
White supremacy is hurting them too. II hope they start learning lessons from black America.

If you want to know how Trump’s war in Iran impacts Ukraine, watch this:
If you want to understand why Trump exploits Iryna Zarutska’s death, look no further than the case of the Central Park Five.
Anti-Blackness harms Ukrainians in ways few of us consider and I explain why in my latest article. #UkrainianView
