Terrell will talk about what it is like to cover Russia's ongoing invasion of Ukraine as an independent reporter, how being Black correspondent informs his work and what Ukraine means for the 2024 U.S. Presidential Election.
Terrell Jermaine Starr is an independent journalist widely known for his coverage of the current Russian invasion of Ukraine. He's the founder of the newly-formed Black Diplomats Media Group that includes Black Diplomats newsletter on Substack, Black Diplomats Official YouTube channel and Black Diplomats podcast that will resume broadcasting mid-February and is available on Apple iTunes and all major podcast platforms.
Terrell's work centers the Black perspective in foreign policy news and doesn't shy away from inserting his personal views into his reporting when he talks about Ukraine, Gaza or any other part of the world. He is also looking for financial supporters to back his media group, so if you want to back his vision, please reach out to him via the contact information on the screen.
A former Fulbright grantee, Terrell also is a Returned Peace Corps Volunteer, having served in Georgia in 2003 to 2005. He has masters degrees in Journalism and Russian, East European and Eurasian Studies from the University of Illinois and a bachelor's degree from Philander Smith College, a historically Black College in Little Rock, Arkansas.
