Data Sovereignty & Ethics

What in the World(-Building) Is Data Diasporas?

Data Diaspora Diaries is a living lab in podcast form — a space for dialogue and forward-thinking conversations with dreamers, builders, and disrupters. It's a deeply human and culturally-rooted exploration of how data shows up in the lived realities, systems, and innovations of local communities around the world.

We're not just talking numbers. We're unpacking power, identity, policy, memory, and future-making. And we're committed to elevating the wisdom of those often left out of the spotlight.

Threads we're pulling on:

• •  Data as ritual, migration, and fragmentation
• •  How AI models inherit diasporic bias — trained on one geography, applied to another
• •  The “afterlife” of data — where does our information go after it's collected?
• •  Community-led data sovereignty and ethical ownership frameworks
