The Nepali diaspora is a remarkable global community, deeply rooted in rich traditions while actively contributing to innovation and progress worldwide. From Silicon Valley to Sydney, Lukla to London, Nepali professionals, entrepreneurs, and creatives are making significant impacts in diverse fields such as technology, arts, finance, and social advocacy. As we navigate the complexities of globalization, the Nepali diaspora exemplifies resilience and adaptability, fostering connections that transcend borders. We are not just preserving our cultural heritage but also redefining it in ways that resonate with new generations. This vibrant network continues to grow, bridging gaps between Nepal and the world, and creating opportunities for collaboration, mentorship, and mutual growth. One of the most significant milestones for our community was the launch of the South Asian House at SXSW 2023, which I co-founded. This initiative was a testament to the power of collective action and the importance of representation on global platforms. By bringing together diverse voices from the South Asian diaspora, we created a space where our stories, challenges, and successes could be shared and celebrated. Building on that momentum, Preeti Adhikary and I have proposed a panel for SXSW 2025 that will focus on the evolving narrative of the Nepali diaspora and how we can further amplify our impact on a global scale. This panel will delve into the initiatives and stories that define our community and explore ways to create opportunities for future generations. But to make this happen, we need your votes! Your support will help us bring these important conversations to the global stage. Please take a moment to vote for our panel and help us continue the important work of highlighting the Nepali diaspora's contributions and potential. Together, we can ensure that our voices are heard and that our stories inspire and empower Nepali talent worldwide. 🌏🇳🇵 #NepaliDiaspora #GlobalCommunity #CulturalHeritage #Innovation #Empowerment #SXSW2023 #SXSW2025 #SouthAsianHouse #TheGreaterNepaliDiaspora #VoteNow CLICK BELOW!

I was suddenly hit with the realization that December has stealthily arrived, and here we are, already on its third day! Zaki Kurdya and I had been fervently planning our #devfest here in the heart of the #Gaza Strip, slated for the 15th of December. Excitement filled our days as we tirelessly submitted proposals, hoping for a sponsorship from local companies. We believed our biggest hurdle was the absence of a sponsor – until tragedy struck. In the wake of the aggression, all our painstaking efforts crumbled in front our eyes. The dream of Gaza #devfest2023 now stands as a poignant testament to what could have been, a dream now shattered beyond repair. As I write this, my heart aches for Zaki Kurdya's safety and well-being, fervently wishing that we can pick up the pieces and make this dream a reality next year, if we are fortunate enough to survive. This is not just a setback; it's a heart-wrenching collision of aspirations with the harsh realities of our circumstances. The vision of Gaza #devfest2023, once vivid and promising, now lingers in the air like a fragile whisper of what might have been. It's a dream wrapped in the sorrow of unfulfilled potential, a tapestry of possibilities torn apart by forces beyond our control. As I pen down these words, I'm acutely aware of the weight they carry. Each stroke of the keyboard echoes the resilience of a community that dared to dream despite the odds. In the face of adversity, we find ourselves standing at the crossroads of despair and determination. The indomitable spirit that fueled our planning for #devfest now serves as a testament to our collective strength. It's a reminder that even in the darkest moments, when our dreams are shattered, the embers of hope still burn within us. So, let this be a chapter, not the end of the story. As we navigate the uncertainties of today, let the dream of Gaza #devfest2023 be the seed from which resilience and determination grows. May the next December bring not just survival but a triumphant return, a celebration of perseverance and the realization of dreams deferred but not forgotten. Pray for us and remember us as people who were trying to do all that they can do to their community and to their people.

PARIS OLYMPICS IS EVIDENCE THAT GLOBAL PRIORITIES ARE UPSIDE DOWN The opening ceremony of the #Olympics is one of the most celebrated scenes globally; alongside #NewYear, #Christmas, #Eid, and #FIFAWorldcup. Olympics should be a time for #closingranks and #buildingconsensus on a #sharedhumanity and #jointgoals through #sportsmanship. The opening ceremony of the Paris 2024 - Comité d'organisation des Jeux Olympiques et Paralympiques de 2024 was a disaster of historic proportions. I used #AI to scrap through data published by World Bank and other affiliate organizations on the most pressing human needs that should have been featured in the opening ceremony; 1. There are 55 active conflicts, affecting 38 countries that are home to approximately 1.5 billion people(Council on Foreign Relations,conflict Tracker). We should have shown stories of #sportsmanship and #resilience #inspite of war. 2. Approximately, 117 million people are living as #refugees or #internallydisplacedpersons in the world (Source: The World Bank). We should have focused on the #refugeeteams,#palestine #Ukraine,#Southsudan etc. 3. Approximately, 1 billion people don't have access to #Civilregistrationservices(IDs and passports) and #nationality (Source: United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA)). We should have focused on #teams from unrecognized communities and nationalities. 4. Approximately, 470 million people are #unemployed or #underemployed across the globe (Source: International Labour Organization). We should have focused on stories of job creation in #sportmanship and #sportsinfrastructure. 5. Approximately, 2 billion people do not have access to #cleanandsafe #drinkingwater. We should have had a #globalfundraiser to deliver water to all. 6. Approximately,250 million #children of #schoolgoingage are not attending school (Source: UNESCO). We should have had a #globalfundraiser to build 10 million classrooms globally. 7. Approximately, 1.5 billion people have their #livelihoodsandlives affected by #desertification.(Source: The World Bank)). We should have fundraised to plant #1trillion trees across #Sahara, #Kalahari, #Arabian, #Patagonian and #Tabernas deserts and the #amazon,#congo,#boreal and #Southeastasia rainforests (largest carbon sinks). 8. Approximately, 500 million women suffer some form of #menstrualpoverty. This is a real stain on humanity's conscience. But what did the Olympics focus on? LGBTQIA We must agree that the world is not the #USA and #Europe and the priorities of the #GlobalNorth are not the world's priorities. Outside of the @USA and a few #European countries, the LGBTQIA+ agenda affects less than 1% of the global population. This means its a non-issue for the majority of the world. As a #humanrace, we need to refocus on our priorities to the things that matter. And if the #globalnorth has lost direction, #Africa and the #globalsouth should step in.

💛 ❤️ 🖤 Keep the fire burning! Blak, Loud and Proud! We pay respect to the Traditional Owners of Tasmania, the Tasmanian Aboriginal people, and acknowledge their continued survival and connection with their land, sea and sky Country that spans millennia. We acknowledge the many Nations of Tasmanian Aboriginal people, past and present, as the traditional and ongoing owners of their respective countries within Tasmania and the islands. We pay respect to those who have passed and acknowledge today’s Aboriginal people who are the custodians of this land. We acknowledge that all land, sea, and sky Country holds cultural values that provide strong and continuing significance to the Tasmanian Aboriginal people. We acknowledge that Tasmanian Aboriginal people are part of a continuous culture that holds traditional knowledge about the ecosystems we all depend on. The landscapes of Tasmania have been shaped by Aboriginal management of plants, animals, and water (particularly using fire). We acknowledge that colonisation and migration has caused injustice for Aboriginal people and impacted the living cultural landscape. This has created a legacy that we seek to improve. We are working to integrate Aboriginal cultural heritage and knowledge in natural resource management, and to develop better understanding of the cultural, environmental, social and economic dimensions of the region’s natural resources from the perspective of Aboriginal people. Through our work, we aim to reflect these values by recognising that Tasmanian Aboriginal people determine both the boundaries for the sharing of their cultural heritage and opportunities for participation in NRM activities that embrace and support their aspirations. We pay respect to Tasmanian Aboriginal people’s requirements to own, care and manage Country by aligning our strategic priorities to Tasmanian Aboriginal people’s land, sea and sky Country priorities. #KeepTheFireBurning #BlakLoudandProud #NAIDOC #NAIDOC2024 #NAIDOCWEEK

As the world gathers to watch the finals of Women’s and Men’s #soccer at the #Olympics, we are reminded of the amazing power of #sports to bring people together across divides and impact lives both on and off the field. In #Iraq, Salma Mousa’s study on inter-religious soccer leagues found improved tolerance among players from different religious backgrounds. This research demonstrated that inter-ethnic community programs can foster local-level social cohesion, prompting the provincial council to incorporate inter-ethnic initiatives into development plans. Read more on the study: bit.ly/socceriraq As we cheer for our favorite athletes, let's celebrate the power of research and sports to improve the lives of many! ⚽💡📝 #MoreEvidenceLessPoverty #Paris2024 #Olympics2024
