Faisa, a Kenyan Somali – and a natural orator, opened her heart and intellect on putting gender issues across to a captivated president. She, among many otheObama Girl_n.mp4_20150728_154551.277r areas, dwelt a little on education in the Northeastern regions of Kenya and the opportunities – or lack of them – for girls in those areas.

Later, responding to her,  President Obama stated Faisa’s words contributed much to his understanding of the issue, and that he will consider it for due process.
