This Is What America Looks Like: My Journey from Refugee to Congresswoman by Ilhan Omar

4.0

Great read about Ilhan overcoming many challenges including becoming a refugee and fleeing her home country of Somalia during a civil war, and becoming an American citizen. It follows her journey of eventually getting elected as a US representative for Minnesota. Through her story, it’s easy to see that she listens to the needs and advocates for her constituents (even the ones that didn’t vote for her.) She truly represents the American people.
