"Hi my name is Zaynab! I was born in Somalia and raised by my grandma in Yemen. I call Yemen and Somalia my home."  "As I looked back one last time with mixed emotions, I was sad to leave my sister behind. Yet I was also excited to see my mother again. Even though I was unsure about the new chapter in my life."  "At the graduation ceremony from the school, they chose me to make the valedictorian speech. I was invited to an event where I met Malala. She was meeting us as refugee students in Minnesota. We connected over our experiences."  "In America I found MY REFUGE, and my education. Now I use MY VOICE and speak out in order to promote more justice in the world." Excerpted from Voice for Refuge by Zaynab Abdi All rights reserved by the original copyright owners.
