Introducing Hodon (she/her)
From Somalia to Yeman to California, Hodon has made the MSP region her home for the past seven years.
However, as a child, Hodon’s journey to America with her family was abrupt due to the civil war in Somalia. At that time, Hodon was the oldest of her six siblings and considers her mom a hero for escaping violence and enduring a traumatic escape while pregnant and leading five young children.
Hodon is a mother and a seasoned teacher at the only Islamic school in the metro area called Al-Amal.
Hodon has since embraced and was welcomed by the Somali community here in Minneapolis/Saint Paul.
