What If I Never Left Somalia?
Being a Londoner is a big part of who I am; however, I was always deeply rooted with my Somalinimo. This was thanks to my parents who themselves had a profound love for their motherland, a place they had to flee from like many due to the circumstances. Growing up, I often dreamt about my parents' lives and wished we had footage that we could watch. Instead, we have scattered photographs of their migration rather than their childhood. During their move, they even lost their wedding photographs and video, which saddens me deeply.
