Give some credit to the girl.
I’d take being a successful millionaire businesswoman over being some ashtrays wife ANYDAY
Give credit to her aboowe too, bro. That's a remarkable death and life-story. He could've died a sad, lonely crackhead in some backstreet somewhere but he was killed via airstrike like some modern Daraawiish. A distinguished extremist qasaro.
Woow, I really get inspired when I see my somali sisters winning! 
May Allah increase her in knowledge and wealth. Ameen.

From nurse to multi-million euro healthcare company owner in two years
When Fadumo Ali said two years ago that she was quitting her job as a nurse and starting her own business, people told her she was crazy. Now her company, Hoiwa, has a turnover in the millions of euros.
Fadumo Ali’s company, Hoiwa, is an agency that provides nurses to healthcare and medical treatment units and plans improvements for the service level of home-based care. The company’s office, founded in 2020, already has a headcount of ten and 2,500 healthcare professionals on its list.
In 2020, the agency’s turnover was half a million euros and in its second financial year it was already 4.2 million.
“I’m grateful to Finland, the country I arrived in 32 years ago as a little girl. This country has given me amazing opportunities, and I’ve tried to use them as best I can,” Fadumo Ali said in her speech on Tuesday, when she was awarded Espoo Entrepreneur of the Year.
The Espoo entrepreneurs who chose Ali for the award said that Hoiwa Oy has employed many immigrants, who face difficulties in finding work. Another reason for the award was that the agency is able to offer its employees above-average pay and good working conditions.
“This recognition shows that even refugee children can find their own path in Finland and generate good for a lot of people,” Fadumo Ali said in her speech.
She also said she wants to make a difference to ensure that where you come from does not matter in Finland.
“So that everyone has the opportunity to dream, run a business and succeed. So that as many people as possible can feel that hard work is rewarded.”
Now, Hoiwa Oy aims to expand its operations internationally and go public.
Difficult beginning
Starting out as a business owner was not easy, however. When she started out, Ali was a single mother of four and beginning studies to become a diabetes nurse.
“Scheduling is a challenge, but I have to strike while the iron is hot now that my business has got off to a good start,” Ali said in a 2020 interview with Suomen Yrittäjät.
Her company was in high demand right from the start, as there was an acute need for nurses in the spring of 2020 during Covid. That demand levelled off in the summer, and nurses went elsewhere for summer work. In the autumn, the company had to ramp its operations up again. As a small operator, it was difficult to gain a position as a recognized subcontractor.
One of Hoiwa’s first subcontracting agreements was bad, too.
“I won’t be turned into cheap labour. I went to talk to the client face to face and negotiated with them to get all of my terms into the contract,” Ali said in 2020.
Ali, who has lived in Finland since early childhood, told Suomen Yrittäjät in 2020 that she has faced prejudice. She did not manage to open a business account with the first bank she talked to but was never told why she was unsuitable as a business customer.
Her language skills were also tested.
“They want to see if I can say and understand everything. The assumption is that I don’t speak Finnish and that I can’t stick up for myself. Those assumptions usually evaporate when I meet a client in person and people get to know me. I have a strong personality and I’m a straight shooter,” Ali said in 2020.

I've always said Somali women are amazing unlike our men who are deadbeats, and in prison just the other day here in Minnesota there was a shootout between Somali teens in Saint Paul MN.
Damn, your life sounds dangerous. You should join a better crowd
Right we like to judge others till we end up in a similar predicament ourselves. This is why you marry for the right intentions otherwise it won't work especially if one's colors only come to the front after marriage and three needs to be respect and patience for one another.
Why is it always Somali women that succeed? You rarely see our men do wonders in the academic or business world.

I know it crazy I was in Minnesota talking to this successful Somali business owner and what i could gather he was such a deadbeat just say you hate Somali men
Hater lmao.
Instead of saying mashallah and keeping it pushing like any normal person, you decided to go the ‘uuuuugh uggh she didn’t do it all by herself route’
She’s right we a lot of us are deadbeats and a lot of us are in prison but she can’t say Somali females here are more educated or make more. They can only push that in Europe.I know it crazy I was in Minnesota talking to this successful Somali business owner and what i could gather he was such a deadbeat just say you hate Somali men
Is it because uni is more expensive in America? Here in the UK, I would say 85% of girls of my age group have a uni degree tbh, I've hardly met many who don't.
Ok then say that your a deadbeat I can name about twenty Somali men that are professional and are happily married we need to stop with these sweeping generalization it not a good look fam
