As a 7-year-old I was living the life of a princess in her new country Somalia and then one morning it turned into a horror show. I was chased down by family and forced to go through female gentile mutilation. For decades I thought it was normal and done to everyone, and I did not realize the consequences until I gave birth to my own daughter.

See how this completely transformed my life and gave me a new purpose. Learn how I managed to heal my childhood trauma and how I dedicated my life to speaking out against the child abusive practice of FGM.
