    I don't believe in regrets because everything that has happened in my life has made me the person I am today. However, I wish I never gave up my media career earlier in life, but this is the perfect timing too,.

    YES, they both exist. The worst part of media or entertainment is always the sexism as a woman. Alhamidullah, I am older now and I could care less and will put people who are out of line in check!

    Thank you brother! I used to think divorce was a stigma, but I realized being in a bad relationship is more of a stigma. Things happen in life and how we deal with them determines who we become.

    Growing up I always wanted to learn about Somalia and never saw a TV that shared our country from the perspective of a diaspora returnee. So, Integration is bringing us back to our roots and loving who we are and where we come from. I wanted to create what I yearned for growing up

    I studied Journalism in university, but gave up the career when I could not make a decent living. I worked in corporate, but realized my love for media never died. I went back to school and started training all over again 3 years ago. I love it and would not trade it for anything

    I am not into politics. More of a humanitarian. I stand up for principles and what social causes I can impact, never focus on politics. More can be done when you impact people through inspiration than politics

    I never looked at going back home as a culture clash. I believe people connect no matter what if there is kindness. As long as diaspora are friendly and kind to locals, there is no problem.
