Yesterday, Ilhan Omar was sworn into the Minnesota House of Representatives. When I look at her standing there with her family in the midst of an otherwise monochromatic crowd, I feel immensely proud. Her accomplishments mean so much for so many people - people of color, young girls, refugees, and Muslims, among others. I look at her beautiful family and consider what her accomplishments mean to them as well, and I must imagine the weight of it all on her shoulders. What grace she bears it with. May she continue to gracefully slay barriers and impact change.
