I am thrilled to share that my first article, a result of 2 years of ethnographic work at the President's Residence, has been published! Even within the rigid structures of diplomatic protocols, diplomats wield creativity to convey positive signals. These findings highlight the importance of interpersonal relationships in diplomatic settings and call for a deeper examination of these dynamics in global politics. A peek into the world of international politics- 

Excited to share my latest contribution to the CPD Blog by the USC Center on Public Diplomacy: "Behind the Memes: The Public Diplomacy Tool of the Moment" Working in #publicdiplomacy made me find more innovative ways to reach out to target audiences and #memes seem to be the best way to do so among younger audiences. And, let's be honest, they're also fun for not-so-young generations! Do you agree with my views on #memeplomacy? https://lnkd.in/ePiSgUxv

𝗔 𝗪𝗮𝗿𝗺 𝗪𝗲𝗹𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗪𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗮𝗺 𝗥𝘂𝘁𝗼 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗙𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝗟𝗮𝗱𝘆 𝗥𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗹 𝗥𝘂𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗼 𝗔𝘁𝗹𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗮, 𝗚𝗲𝗼𝗿𝗴𝗶𝗮 Today marks an important day as we warmly welcome President #WilliamRuto and First Lady #RachelRuto of the Republic of #Kenya to Atlanta, Georgia. This visit signifies the commencement of Kenya’s diplomatic engagement with the United States, setting the stage for the upcoming State Visit to Washington, D.C. on May 23. Atlanta's selection as the starting point for this visit underlines its burgeoning global stature and its pivotal role in furthering America's journey towards an inclusive democracy. The city's vibrant #AfricanDiaspora and dynamic civic landscape make it an ideal locale for meaningful exchanges on democratic governance, public health, and educational initiatives. President Ruto’s agenda in #Atlanta is packed with engagements that reinforce our shared values and aspirations. His interactions with civic leaders and the community are geared towards deepening our people-to-people ties and exploring avenues for mutual prosperity. These discussions are crucial as they resonate with #PresidentBiden’s vision from the 2022 U.S.-Africa Leaders Summit, where he emphasized that "The future of Africa and the United States depends on what we can achieve together." The President’s visit is more than a diplomatic formality; it embodies our joint commitment to a 21st-century partnership that extends beyond capital cities, touching lives and making a tangible impact on the ground. We are eager to witness the fruitful discussions and outcomes that will emerge from his engagements in Atlanta, especially those involving our robust African diaspora community. As we look forward to President Ruto's visit to Washington, D.C., I extend my heartfelt gratitude to the #MayorofAtlanta and the city’s civic leaders for their gracious hospitality. This visit not only strengthens our bilateral relations but also highlights the significant contributions that American cities like Atlanta make to U.S. foreign #policy and international #cooperation. #USKenyaRelations #Diplomacy #GlobalAtlanta #InclusiveDemocracy #PublicHealth #EducationalExchange
