#MuslimBan: Sudanese-Americans speak out

Emi Mahmoud, 22, the UNHCR’s #WithRefugees campaign – Philadelphia

“Born in Sudan, raised in Philly–I’m an Immigrant, American Muslim, Afro-Arab, Ivy Woman, UNHCR Rep–there’s not a cage big enough. I’m speaking alongside the Norwegian Refugee Council, UN Women, Philanthropy Age and other organizations tomorrow in Oslo, followed by Stockholm, the UK, The Hague, Brussels, and the UK again this month– for anyone who feels alone out there, this is how we resist and it’s only the start.

Shoutout to the lawyers resisting on paper and to every person carrying humanity in their heart. When I’m finished here, I’m coming back home with the keys The Constitution gave me, on the railroad Harriet Tubman built, using a GPS made on Einstein’s physics, and listening to Rihanna on Steve Jobs’ iPod. Trump will not define us.”  #NoBanNoWall #EverybodyIsAnImmigrantExceptNativeAmericans

Finally, we hear a Sudanese-American teenager’s thoughts on citizenship, courage, and love.
