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.

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.
