So very proud of this young woman who continues to trailblaze her way into new artistic and pioneering frontiers. time after time.

– Somali is known as the language of poets
– Somali comprises more proverbs than any other language on earth
– App set to benefit up to 1.5million peoples of the Somali diaspora globally
