Love this! A platform by Somalis, for Somalis, to share our stories and tell our own narratives. May The Somali Brief continue to grow, reach every corner of the diaspora. 💙
The Somali Brief was featured in The New York Times!
The New York Times recently highlighted our work in a Q&A with our founder, Mukhtar Ibrahim, about why we launched The Somali Brief and the gap we're working to fill in Minnesota's media ecosystem.
Our mission is simple: Tell the full story of Somali American life.
For too long, Somali American stories have lacked consistent, dedicated coverage. We're building a professional newsroom focused exclusively on Somali American news, covering the people, issues, achievements and challenges shaping our communities.
We're also taking a different approach to journalism. As a social-first media platform, we meet audiences where they are, producing credible, engaging journalism designed for how people consume news today.
Thank you to The New York Times and journalist Shadi Bushra for highlighting our work and introducing The Somali Brief to a wider audience.
We're just getting started.
The full story starts here.

Ramla is the first ever Somali boxer champion in history and she is also the 2nd Somali world champion. The last time a Somali person became a world champion is 39yrs ago when Abdi Bile won a gold medal in 1987. A well deserved win for Somalia. 🇸🇴 🏆

Abdi is a kind, thoughtful, resilient and determined leader. He will utilize his experiences as a refugee, entrepreneur, and family man to accomplish amazing things for our community in the Minnesota House!
