Ilhan Omar Is Shifting The Narrative Of What's Possible As Somali-American Muslim Legislator |

'Ilhan Omar is the first Somali-American Muslim person to become a legislator. "People said I should be proud of myself if I got even 10% of the votes, but I’m pretty competitive. I wanted to keep going so I could prove them wrong. I ended up pushing all of the negative things aside because I kept thinking, regardless of whether we win or lose, this will shift the narrative about what is possible."' -- TIME
