On the commemoration of the Independence Day, I would like to recognize the true statesman and the only heavyweight politician that advised against the voluntary union with Somalia. Micheal Mariano was a true patriot who deserves respect, glorification for years to come #26June
Often, #trauma victims fixate on the worst possible scenario of what could have happened but didn't. They'll then replay the scenario over. #Somaliland as a collective has to increase victims' hope & reassure them they are not alone & are/will be supported.

"Let me remind all women that we live longer and better lives when we have sisters we love, not necessarily born in our bloodline or of our race. #MayaAngelou#WomensMonth
all the women in my family and the local women who are from Burco are fully behind justice no more blood money, no more women getting killed while these men abuse traditional and Islamic law #noway I’m so upset and angered by this 😭🤬😡
Yesterday a young Somali mother was raped and killed in Somaliland. Traditional law has it that if her murder pays blood money to the men of her family he can be set free. The women of Somaliland are demanding this backwards tradition ends and I stand with them.
#Suicide prevention month. Be mindful of those you know who might look lonely. Have a chat n check in with them. You don’t want that knock at the door or a phone call to say ‘Sorry for your loss’ so let’s talk #SuicidePrevention
The term “#self- care” is EVERYWHERE! Very trendy, right?
Our sister @sumadhamac will be our guest speaker this Thursday inshaa Allah conversations around, What Does “Self-Care” Actually Mean?
It has been emotional, heartbreaking & devastating to read all of the sexual abuse stories that have come to surface - we want to tell the people that have shared - we recognise your pain and the fortitude with which you share your story. We too say no to ceeb culture.
