I tap this picture on my wall with my pinky everynight somehow hoping a piece of their bravery will rest on my pillow and enter my body during my slumber.
You really cannot mess with Somali women.

'ilma Abti' In Somali meaning 'from my Mother's side'
These women hail from the Ethiopian occupied Somali region of Ogadenia- where my Maternal Grandmother (Allah SWT have mercy on her soul) hailed from. They took up arms and fought for their liberty, land and freedom back in the seventies in the war.
