"Somalia is a nation of poets, and this is what truly inspired me. The Somali people have long used poetry and storytelling as a way to preserve their history and convey their values. It is a tradition that has endured through times of war, displacement and conflict." Meet Zahra Abdihagi, an emerging Somali poet and a storyteller.
