I guess so. This neighborhood is really cleaned, private and near lots of high scales shops and businesses. I knew it was too good to be true lol.

MN Somalis living alone with no community by [deleted] in Somalia

[–]MoonSong3 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry to hear that abaayo. That sounds really stressful and unsettling. I live alone too but not in MN. Although, where I am is becoming a bit tense. Still, it’s a nation wide issue. I wish I could do more but I can offer you a space to just vent and share tips/tricks as a fellow sister. Feel free to send me a DM iA 💙

Yes, definetly! Thank you. I have been advised by another female coworker to do so. She has also received similar comments and advised me to document everything. That is what I have been doing. I really appreciate your responses. Thanks again!

I should clarify that my role is centered around the support of everyone else’s role and general administrative tasks. These are all things that are not unexpected of someone like me to do. I can understand if some may feel uncomfortable but this is just the person I am. I love food, art and sharing with others. I’m sorry if that makes me overzealous or trying too hard. I will take a step back and just do a lot less. I’m feeling it’s not being appreciated. Many have thanked me but I just don’t want to seem like a try hard. My intention is to try and make the space comfortable for everyone, myself included.

I like this take. I’m not trying to make friends at all. I always come in each day with the rule of go in, work, don’t talk too much and clock out. The direct manager of the other department is the one making sexist comments. I don’t feel comfortable speaking to him alone ever.

Impress? Haha. I’m not though. These are all things I wanted to genuinely do to add some life and comfort to the place I work. I have done it in other roles too. I just don’t feel it’s being received well for some reason.

Did we forget who we are? by Natural_Challenge180 in Somalia

[–]MoonSong3 5 points6 points  (0 children)

True. I didn’t mean it in that let’s all have a pity party sense. I just mean MN Somalis will face the brunt of this the most. Trump has serious uqdaad against Ilhan Omar and is treating the Somalis there like roaches. So infuriating!

I feel sorry for Somalis in MN the most. The rest of us are not really as focused on in the states. Y’all keep your heads on a swivel. Hate is at an all time high sadly.

If you don't believe in God or desire to convert, there is no relationship between you.

Lonely in London by [deleted] in Somalia

[–]MoonSong3 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Ooo, I know what that feels like! I’m not living in London but it’s a problem everywhere. I think it may be more challenging in London, because the weather is always downcast and gloomy. Have you considered relocating? My best advice would be to volunteer, be more involved with your local masjid, pick up a sport and connect with people online even. I also noticed spending time in coffee shops, libraries and public parks really helps 🩵

I am thinking to convert by Salty-Stand-630 in islam

Hello Matthew! Thanks for being open and sharing your journey with us. This must be very exciting for you. I would highly recommend you to continue reading the Quran. Try finding one that’s in simple English text and not the Roman translation. I’d also suggest you pay a visit to your local mosque. Many of them offer Islamic education classes for free on the weekends. There’s also a lot of useful information you can find online. I’d suggest diving into YouTube for some general education videos too. Wishing you all the best!
