Anthony de Mello once said, “The shortest distance between a human being and the truth is a story.”
Everyone has a story, something so compelling that makes us who we are. Some people have many stories to share to the world, others don't feel comfortable sharing their experiences to the rest of the general public. With this blog, I want to share the stories of my fellow Somali people, I want to share their hopes and dreams their aspirations, how they grew up and show how we're all connected. My people were torn apart by war, left with the aftermath of strife and anger, hardship and heartache, distance and separation. Yet they began anew, in new countries and their stories developed and in these different societies they found who they are. One people, one love.
