African immigrants in New York City live a paradox. We are visible in the workforce, in churches, in community associations — yet invisible when political campaigns draw their maps. We are nurses, Uber drivers, small business owners, home health aides, engineers, and teachers. We fill the city’s arteries with our labor. But politically, we remain […]
On August 6, 1945, and again three days later on August 9th, the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki became silent witnesses to the darkest potential of human invention, and the world changed forever. Two bombs. Over 200,000 lives lost. And with them, the illusion that humanity could wield absolute power without consequence. The threat of […]

Transformer une scène maladroite en levier d’influence La récente rencontre entre Donald Trump et plusieurs chefs d’État africains fait couler beaucoup d’encre. Oui, il y a eu des maladresses diplomatiques. Mais non, le problème n’est pas cette polémique stérile autour de la photo. Des chefs d’État invités à se présenter eux-mêmes. Trump qui complimente […]
