The Long Wave Newsletter Turns Two: Celebrating Two Years of Diaspora Stories from AI Aunties to Uber Calls

The Guardian’s The Long Wave newsletter celebrates its second anniversary, marking two years of exploring the breadth of stories and events across the global diaspora. Over the past year, the newsletter has evolved into a large and engaged community, with readers actively sharing thoughts, tips, and even polite disagreements—all welcomed by the editorial team. The anniversary edition highlights favorite stories from the past year, ranging from the cultural impact of AI aunties to the intimate connections forged during long diaspora Uber phone calls. These selections showcase the newsletter’s commitment to covering diverse and resonant experiences that define life across borders. As The Long Wave continues to grow, its editors look forward to more stories, more community dialogue, and deeper exploration of the diaspora’s evolving narratives.
