Today...

Today is a day of hope for me, even as a female minority from the DC Metro ghetto.

I realized today that we have so many freedoms beyond oppressed Somalian women. We have our first African-American president. I never thought that it would be possible, growing up.

I never realized that as an ESL, ghetto child that I would get to meet MLK Jr's widow's charity foundation organizers. Or that l would be lucky enough to be second in my class among so many men in "A" school.

I am truly blessed.
