Tennessee’s Somali community balances obligations back home with a new life in the US.

Over 5,000 Somali refugees now call Nashville their home. These new Nashvillians left a war-torn country and many still have family trying to survive in Somalia and in refugee camps across Kenya, Ethiopia, Djibouti, Yemen, and other countries. For most, life in Nashville is about work, sending money back home and trying to balance Somali traditions and cultures while adjusting to life in the U.S.
