Local.Global.Nevada (L.G.N)
L.G.N stands for Local.Global Nevada.
Earlier Diplochatz, it is Northern Nevada International Center's (NNIC) rebranded podcast show. We are creating interactive interview-based audio-visual content that highlight the impact of NNIC locally and around the world.
Local. Global. Nevada is NNIC's voice to the community. It is a human-centered podcast that brings international, immigrant and refugee stories to the forefront. It is aimed to explain how global events shape Northern Nevada, and foster (encourage) dialogue that builds trust across cultures. Amplifying local voices weaving in global perspectives, the podcast serves as a bridge of diplomacy, connection, and understanding. We ensure that when new Nevadans thrive, our community is stronger. We talk about the work NNIC is doing, bringing in experts to break down complex global issues and the U.S. policies, and explain how it affects Northern Nevada.
L.G.N is hosted by Yulia Rajeh, Marketing and Strategic Communication Specialist for NNIC. New L.G.N episodes will be out every two weeks. To learn more about the Northern Nevada International Center you can visit our website www.nnic.org

In this episode of L.G.N — Local.Global.Nevada., we explore how recent shifts in federal refugee policy are reshaping the resettlement landscape in our region.
From changes in funding and admission priorities to evolving executive decisions, national policies have a direct and lasting impact on local communities. We break down what these changes mean for resettlement agencies, service providers, and—most importantly—the individuals and families rebuilding their lives in Northern Nevada.
Joining us NNIC Resettlement Program Case Manager, Seraphine Onyango, helps unpack how federal decisions translate into local realities, the challenges organizations face in responding to rapid policy shifts, and the ways Northern Nevada International Center continues to adapt to it.
This episode offers clarity, context, and local insight into a complex policy environment—highlighting why understanding these changes matters and how they shape the future of refugee resettlement in our region.
