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

Immigrants represented nearly 1 in 5 workers in America (around 19%).
The largest industries employing immigrants include: • healthcare, • education, • construction, • transportation, • hospitality, • professional services.
Research consistently shows that many immigrants arrive highly educated, but a large percentage cannot immediately work in their original professions. Millions of immigrants in the U.S. have college or advanced degrees earned abroad, but many work below their qualification level because licenses, credentials, or work experience are not fully recognized in the United States.
Final Episode of the Season 1 of L.G.N. is about the reality many immigrants face when they come to the United States already educated, experienced, and successful in their professions — but still have to start over. In this episode, we talk with an immigrant who came to America as an adult and managed to rebuild her career as a dentist while navigating licensing requirements, workforce challenges, and adapting to a completely new system. We discuss what it truly takes to transfer professional experience to the U.S., the sacrifices behind that journey, and why so many immigrant stories go far beyond simply “finding a job” — they are about rebuilding a future from the ground up.
In Episode 9 of L.G.N., I meet with Princess Kubuya to talk about what it really looks like for immigrants to navigate employment rules and workforce participation in the U.S. Princess, a refugee from the Democratic Republic of Congo, came to Reno in 2016 with her father and siblings and is now the first in her family to graduate from the Institution of Higher Education (University of Nevada, Reno) with a degree in criminal justice. We talk about her journey, the challenges of understanding work limitations as an immigrant and a student, and how those rules shape opportunities, choices, and the path forward. It’s an honest and inspiring conversation about resilience, growth, and what it takes to build a future.
The NNIC marketing team has been working on rebranding our existing podcast, DiploChatz. We are finally ready to announce the launch date of our fresh start with L.G.N. (stands for Local.Global.Nevada).

What is Positive Discipline?
Positive Discipline is a model based on Adlerian Psychology. It can be used by parents, teachers, couples, businesses, and community leaders to learn to create responsible, respectful, and resourceful relationships in their communities. Based on the bestselling Positive Discipline books by Jane Nelsen, Lynn Lott, and their co-authors (including Cheryl Erwin), this model can be applied to both children and adults to become contributing members of their communities.
The premise of this model is to help people find a sense of belonging and significance following FIVE CRITERIA:
Helps children feel a sense of connection. (Belonging and significance)
Is mutually respectful and encouraging. (Kind and firm at the same time.)
Is effective long - term. (Considers what the child is thinking, feeling, learning, and deciding about himself and his world – and what to do in the future to survive or to thrive.)
[S2/E2] The Rules of Crisis Communication // Guest: Dr. Todd Felts, Associate Professor at the Reynolds School of Journalism, UNR
DiploChatz welcomes you to our Second Season - Episode 2! Guest Co-Host: We are joined as a guest co-host on this second episode by Yulia Rajeh who is a Legal Case Assistant for NNIC's Refugee Resettlement Program.
Episode 2 Description: We will begin every DiploChatz show with a warm welcome to you! We will take this opportunity to introduce you to our episode's guest co-host.

Dr. Felts teaches media & society, crisis communications, and graduate classes in leadership, innovation, and engagement. Before joining the faculty more than a decade ago, Dr. Felts directed public relations for international companies and causes, providing media relations counsel during crises and litigation. The University awarded him Outreach Faculty of the Year and he was the Human Services Network Board Member of the Year for his work for Northern Nevada HOPES, a federally qualified health facility in Northern Nevada. This year, the Association of Fundraising Professionals named him Volunteer Fundraiser of the Year.
Segment 1 & 2: During the first and second segments of Episode 2, The rules of crisis communications are often used to mitigate and manage public perceptions of issues that affect us all. A key ingredient in this process is trust. The way we communicate plus how we act equals the reputation of individuals, organizations, and multinational corporations. By understanding the cycle of a crisis from detection to listening, we are better equipped to make the right decisions at the right time, reducing the likelihood of the crisis getting out of hand.
Players in international markets are often faced with additional challenges. From language to culture differences, before we speak and act, there is a lot to learn.
This discussion will focus on proven leadership approaches to communicating during a difficult time. It will feature stories of success and how we can all, regardless of our responsibilities, create more positive situations for ourselves and the people impacted by a crisis.
