Minneapolis photographer highlights Somali-American success stories

Minneapolis photographer highlights Somali-American success stories

For years, any time photographer Mohamud Mumin turned to local television channels or to newspapers for news about the Minneapolis Somali community, what he found left him disappointed.
Mumin said the media highlights the dark side of the community and abandons the many success stories and positive contributions Somali immigrants are making in their new home — a remark many in the community agree with.
“There are many great things the community is doing,” he said. “Why can’t I see those stories in the media? Why only the negative ones?”
