How a Somali Refugee Is Creating Community in Minnesota

The video discusses the journey of Somali refugees, particularly Hooda, who moved to Minnesota due to the Somali Civil War. It highlights the challenges they faced, including cultural misunderstandings and fear from locals. To bridge this gap, Hooda and her husband initiated Dinah Dialogue, a bimonthly dinner event aimed at fostering understanding and cultural exchange between Somali immigrants and the local community. The initiative emphasizes open dialogue and the sharing of Somali cuisine to build connections. Hooda aspires to expand this initiative across Minnesota, promoting integration and community building.
