Apparently, some people in my community, the Somali community, see our work as a threat. My family members have received phone calls from people who don’t want us to keep reporting on these allegations. Some of these people are connected to individuals accused of misusing millions of dollars in federal funds.

. . . I oversee a nonprofit news organization dedicated to telling the truth, and providing exceptional reporting for Minnesota’s communities of color.

. . . If Sahan Journal doesn’t investigate and write these stories, other media will. And once again, they will be stories about our communities. More dramatic revelations are probably coming. Isn’t it better to be honest with ourselves?
