As of yesterday on National Poetry Day, I have received the honour of becoming Birminghams Poet Laureate ❤️

It is humbling to be chosen to represent the city that gave me so much, the city that has moulded me,

I pray now that I am able to give back.

[Sagal Abdi-Wali MP @Sagal_AW]

Great to round off my first week in Parliament with my first MP surgery in the constituency.

If you’re a constituent and there’s anything I can help you with, please email me at [email protected]

Intergenerational work always brings me joy. It reminds me that young people are leaders today, with something to contribute now.

There’s joy, too, in learning from our elders and the wisdom they carry.

Somewhere in between, we hold hands and mould a better future 🤍

A look back at Somalinimo’s second session with @TheSDSltd , exploring climate change and practical greener living through LEAF, led by De Montfort University

Our communities belong in this conversation 💚

I’ve been recruited into the Substack cult 🤣

Jokes aside, I’ve been meaning to return to writing, and this feels like the perfect way. I’ll be sharing the lessons, questions and blessings I carry with me.

Join me ❤️

Congratulations to Sagal Abdi-Wali on becoming the first Somali-born woman elected to the UK Parliament.

A historic milestone for Somali representation in British public life, and a moment worth celebrating this #BlackHistoryMonth

[Alexander Brown @AlexofBrown]

A former child refugee from Somalia who has volunteered in her community since she was a teenager is about to become an MP. Having faced rank racism both online and in person, Sagal Abdi-Wali's victory is a spit in the eye for racists everywhere

[Ayan Aden :) @ayanmoaden]

Congratulations Sagal, Ilaahay haa kula garab galo

Guul iyo Gobanimo💙

[Sagal Abdi-Wali MP @Sagal_AW]

real result: 🔴 LAB +20

I belong to no political party. But when I see a woman who has spent 20+ years working at grassroots level for her community, I will support her.

Sometimes changing the system requires principled people within it.

My support is rooted in her record, not party politics🫡🫡

[Ayan Aden :) @ayanmoaden]

The smear campaign against Sagal has been eye-opening, especially how some political actors weaponise legitimate public concerns to vilify her.

We’re unequivocally with our sister. On the doorstep, we’ve felt real support across Camden too.

Guul, insha’Allah. Victory tonight 🫡

[Ayan Aden :) @ayanmoaden]

Guul insha’Allah🫡

[Sagal Abdi-Wali MP @Sagal_AW]

LESS THAN TWO HOURS LEFT! 🕗
But that's still plenty of time to get to the polls. Please make sure to use your vote for Labour by 10pm

[megan @labournista]

she’s actually so fab like im obsessed

[(((Dan Hodges))) @DPJHodges]

Still trying to understand why Polanski thinks he can beat her. Local. Articulate. Woman. Refugee heritage. Strong existing political base. Directly attacked by Reform. She's the perfect candidate for this seat. Think he's made a fatal miscalculation.
