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

Meet Your Neighbor: Immigrant Families in Reno
In this episode of L.G.N — Local. Global. Northern Nevada., we turn our focus close to home and meet the people who make Reno the vibrant, diverse community it is today.
Behind every immigrant family is a story of courage, adaptation, and hope. In Meet Your Neighbor, you listen to personal journeys of families who now call Reno home—sharing what it means to build a life in a new place, navigate cultural transitions, and create a sense of belonging while honoring their roots.
Through honest conversations and lived experiences, this episode highlights the everyday realities of immigrant families, the challenges they face, the contributions they bring, and the role community plays in helping newcomers thrive.
This is an invitation to see your neighbors through a deeper lens—one story at a time.
