“Somali parents are very, very caring. I have a great deal of sympathy for them and give them extra credit. That generation left the war, left behind their homes, didn’t know what life would be, got educated, worked hard, and raised families in a new country. And then their children believe that their parents know nothing. “You don’t understand.” But they understand more than you think. Because if the situation was reversed, could the children do what their parents did?”
