This Is What America Looks Like by Ilhan Omar

informative medium-paced

4.0

I followed Omar's election for US Representative in 2018, but I really didn't know anything about her aside from the fact that she was a Somali-American woman running for office. It was enlightening to listen to her tell her story in her words beginning from fleeing Somalia to her swearing in ceremony in January 2019. It was also great to hear a story told by somebody from a different culture than myself and to be more aware of the issues and privliges Omar has faced in her lifetime.
