St. Cloud Times — Four local Somali residents took part in a community discussion about living in Minnesota as a Muslim, challenges they face and what the next steps are to bring together community.
The forum labeled “Muslim in Minnesota” was hosted by Minnesota Public Radio at St. Cloud Public Library with Tom Weber serving as a moderator. The panelists included Haji Yusuf, a community advocate and founder of Orange Oak Advertising and St. Cloud Somali Radio; Hafsa Abdi, a senior at Technical High School; Lul Hersi, a community advocate who works as an interpreter; and Hassan Yussuf, who recently ran for a seat on the St. Cloud school board and owns a tax business in St. Cloud.
