<![CDATA[Beyond Borders Diaspora]]>Introducing Beyond Borders: Diaspora with Seda Arzumanyan—a podcast exploring the power, responsibility, and impact of diasporic communities around the world.
I’m deeply interested in how diasporas are formed, how they stay connected across generations, and—most importantly—how they support their home countries from abroad. Inspired by the American culture of philanthropy and the $905 billion in global remittances, this podcast examines how diaspora communities can turn generosity into meaningful, lasting change.
