Yes. THIS is the America I want to know.

23 years ago, from a refugee camp in Kenya, my father and I arrived at an airport in Washington DC.

Today, we return to that same airport on the eve of my swearing in as the first Somali-American in Congress.

A huge part of helping more women with #fistula is investing in the training and capacity building of surgeons. Huge appreciation to the amazing #Zambia surgeon team who came together from across the country for #IDEOF #EndFIstula now! @Fistula_Fdtn @JNJCares
