She is smart, daring and at 18 has already made history at Duke Student Government:
Awa Nur is the First female president in a decade, second black president in DSG's entire history and of course the first Somali student to win that position as well.
No wonder the entire Somali Web portals picked up the story to let loose the Somali pride which has been wanting for most of the past 19 years.
Even Awa talks poetic. She promises her team will be able, capable and available. Let my people in Somalia hear Awa and talk like her. And after talking, walk the walk and deliver.
Kudos to you sister. We salute you for bringing a confident smile on our face, make us choke saying - 'she is one of us' - and pushing us to the motivation platform.
