Watch: This documentary covers the incredible journal of a woman who is about to become the first Somali-American elected to an American legislature
The series about the true stories of American immigrants is being produced by America Ferrera. A survivor of Somalia’s civil war, Ilhan spent four trying years in a Kenyan refugee camp before moving to the United States with her family at age 12. Her story only gets more inspiring from there.
Gifs: Refinery29/America Ferrera
I love stories like this, and I love my country for stories like this.
More good news: Ilhan Omar has officially been elected, and is the first Somali-American, Muslim official elected to a US legislature.
Praying for her success and safety.
