Cute. But people need to remember Rageh Omar has been doing this for over 20yrs. Being a journalist is not rocket science.
We need more people like Ismail Ahmed who is the founder and chairman of WorldRemit, a money transfer company, who uses some of his money to invest in Somalis back home. Now THAT is Somali Excellence
I have noticed Ottawa Issas will stop speaking French once they finish university/college and then leave for the bigger English speaking cities. They refuse to speak English before this and even engage with the Anglophones. They stay in the French parts of the east side of the city and then think that's all there is to the city and become disillusioned and leave and change their entire personality. I'm happy for her.
It's a public facing role, more representation. We should celebrate success of Somali women in news as well.Btw, I see many Somali women who are doctors and successful in corporate America. I don't know what is so big deal about being a news anchor?

It's a public facing profile which is good for our image. But my issue is the community parading around the fact that we have police officers. Big deal. 90% of their time is spent eating donuts or driving around town. They don't even do beat policing anymore. There are about a dozen Somali police officers in my city's police force and they make it like its a huge deal. Any Somali or Black person can be one, especially now. They are practically begging Blacks to join. You can even be a fat slob of any race.
