It is Thursday at 2:25 p.m., and like every Thursday, I walk into a classroom full of smiling Somali-speaking teenage girls. "Hi edo (aunt) Saida! Hi moma Saida! Salaama Aleykum!" they shout in voices filled with joy and anticipation. They know that the next hour will be filled with fun activities, food and sharing stories. They've spent most of the week looking forward to this.
I lead the Somali girls group, made up of Somalian refugee children in the Boston Public Schools, with Sonia Higginbottom, a Boston University (BU) intern, as part of my work as a Somali-speaking cultural broker at Children's Hospital Boston's Center for Refugee Trauma and a BU social work student
