Breaking Barriers

Why not me? That’s the question Deqa Dhalac ‘13G posed to herself when she first began mulling over the decision to run for political office in 2018. Dhalac, a Somali American who has lived in the U.S. since the 1990s and in Maine since 2005, became increasingly active in condemning anti-immigrant and pro-nativist messaging and political leaders starting in 2015.
