In another time Ilhan Omar would be held up as an example of the best of the American Dream. A Muslim woman born in war torn Somalia ( a cold war victim) , raised in a refugee camp in Kenya brought to the US as a refugee .
This woman worked her way to the US Congress . She caught my attention as a state representative winning an award as the best African immigrant for one year.
She overcame her beginnings because of America's promise. She should be celebrated.
