This may be a bit too deep for many here, especially those who claim that Egyptian isn't even a language.

You mean Muslim Excellence Courage and Bravery.
My issue with a lot of Somalis is they never talk about black issues, but give them a chance to talk about Palestine and they won’t shut up.

^ My experience has been the opposite.
I have two very close Somali friends and they and their families are socially (see: racially) conscious.

Either way she is indeed a black woman..and what she is going against takes balls.
That little Somali woman is making some huge waves and noise against white supremacy through the way of power and position.
Not simply hopping on youtube and venting
Not just making some movement t shirts or hashtags
Not just sitting outside creating a protest
She has a position/seat of power and voice serving her district.
Your favorite black rapper/athelete/celebrity/woke social media person of the month aint doing what she does nor getting the backlash of physical violent threat to their families for standing up for the blunt truth.
These industry folks apologize to the Jews in a heartbeat the minute they get the bag threatened to be taken away...for the slightest hint of “Antisemitism”
She is confronting the blunt honest issues with the jews/white supremacy.
Muslim..Christian...Catholic..Rasta...whatever she a tough lil broad with bigger balls than most men.
