Somali Americans are one of the fastest growing populations in Seattle. That growth has led to economic, political and religious successes as well as challenges. In this episode of Community Stories, a community leader, an educator, a business owner and an advocate discuss how their community is balancing their traditional culture and the demands of a new society. In essence how they are making Seattle and America their home.
