Their identity is rooted in Somalinimo ('the essence of being Somali') and in this love letter to Somali culture, blackness, and Islam, they reflect on both belonging and marginalization.

They give new meaning to an old Somali proverb: 'Clothing that is not yours cannot shelter you from the cold.'
