On the Ground in Ukraine with Terrell Jermaine Starr (with Making Peace Visible)
Episode 13
Tuesday, 2 September, 2025
While I'm taking a break from releasing new episodes, I wanted to share an episode of another great podcast I heard recently and that I thought all of you might enjoy. The show is called Making Peace Visible, and it features conversations with journalists, peace-builders, activists, and scholars on the front lines of peace and conflict. Making Peace Visible also aims to analyze how the media cover conflict as well as to amplify stories of resolution and reconciliation that are often under-reported or even ignored.Their guest on this particular episode is Terrell Jermaine Starr, an independent journalist based in Ukraine whose reporting has appeared in Foreign Policy magazine, The Washington Post, and MSNBC. His work focuses on how Ukrainian politics and society relate to the rest of the world, especially the United States, Europe, and Africa.In the early days of Russia's full-scale invasion, Terrell gained international attention for his up-close-and-personal reporting style, and for helping vulnerable Ukrainians flee the country. Also for being a rare Black American reporter on the ground.On Terrell's own podcast, “Black Diplomats,” and his Substack blog, he provides reporting and analysis on politics in Ukraine, the United States, and beyond, paying special attention to equity and discrimination, and drawing parallels between Putinism and the MAGA movement in the United States. And he also has an ongoing project documenting the lives of Ukrainians of African descent. If you want to keep up with Terrell's reporting, you can follow him on Instagram. If you enjoyed this conversation, you should also subscribe to Making Peace Visible and listen to more episodes from their archives wherever you listen to podcasts.On Far From Home, award-winning public radio journalist Scott Gurian reports fascinating stories from faraway places like Iran, Chernobyl, and Mongolia.
