Show Notes
Somali American Abdi Nor Iftin is a naturalized U.S. citizen and the author of a memoir titled "Call Me American."
Iftin has also been outspoken about Somali fraud—and facing threats from the Somali community. He spoke with Liz Collin on her podcast about the consequences of telling the truth instead of taking sides.
Iftin admitted, “What's bothering me — it's just the fact that speaking up against fraud within my own community has become something that could get you in trouble, which is ridiculous."
