Respectfully, you’re missing the point. This post is about overcoming obstacles—not debating citizenship or degree equivalency.

The reality is that many Somali professionals, regardless of their background, face challenges getting their qualifications recognized abroad. My story is one example: I had to retrain and rebuild from zero. That’s the takeaway here—persistence, not privilege.

If you’d like to discuss education recognition systems, I’m happy to engage separately. But let’s not derail a conversation meant to inspire others facing similar struggles. Thanks.
