Aisha was born in Khartoum, Sudan. In 2005, she and her two children immigrated to Minneapolis. Aisha expresses how it felt being in a new home for the first time – speaking only her native language and being the only family member in the States: “It was dark. It felt like I couldn’t see.”
Three years later, Aisha and her family are Hope tenants. Six days a week she attends the Hope Learning Center to improve her literacy skills. Her dream is to finish college so she can help others and give her children a better life and future.
