Asha Haji Mahmoud Guled was a pioneering Somali author, cultural historian, and preservationist with deep knowledge of the Somali language, culture, and history.

Born in Hobyo, Mudug region, in 1942, she passed away in Virginia, United States, on 29 June 2020.

She lived in the United States during the 1970s, serving as chairwoman of the Muslim Women’s Association in Washington, D.C., while her husband, Ambassador Abdullahi Ahmed Addow, represented Somalia as ambassador to the United States.

In 1978, she wrote and published Habka Cunto-Karinta Soomaaliyeed: Cookery of Somali Style, the first book ever written on Somali cuisine. She donated the proceeds from the book to support refugees displaced by the 1977 war between Somalia and Ethiopia.

Asha was deeply devoted to preserving Somali heritage, collecting Somali art and cultural artifacts that she later donated to several museums, a testament to her lifelong commitment. #Somalia #Culture

Fardosa Hussein is a visual artist and photojournalist based in Mogadishu, Somalia. Her work centres on the lives of Somali women, capturing intimate, candid moments that celebrate their strength, resilience, and everyday realities. Through deeply personal imagery, she creates narratives that are both rooted in her community and universally relatable.

For over eight years, Fardosa has documented stories around nutrition, health, food security, peace, and security in Somalia. Beginning her journey photographing on the streets, she faced resistance as a woman pursuing a creative path, but transformed that experience into motivation to empower herself and those around her.

As a documentary photographer, her work challenges simplified portrayals of Somalia, moving beyond headlines of conflict and crisis to reveal daily life, joy, and dignity. Whether covering humanitarian issues or moments of ordinary beauty, Fardosa’s images offer a more nuanced and human perspective of her country.
