A prominent Canadian-Somali journalist who was among 27 people killed in a terrorist attack in Somalia Saturday is being celebrated for her efforts to change the narrative about her country.

“Hodan leaves behind her two children, 11 siblings and beloved parents,” the statement said.

After speaking with Nalayeh shortly before the attack, she said her son told her something was going on in a hotel in Kismayo. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau praised Hodon Nalayeh for"inspiring Somali stories" and"broadening people’s perspectives and defending diversity and inclusion." Nalayeh called her project “the first TV channel dedicated to Somali narrative" in a promotional video on YouTube.Nalayeh also frequently tweeted about her life in Kismayo and Somalia in general, using the hashtag #MySomalia.Before her work in Somalia, Nalayeh worked in the Canadian media industry. She moved to Kismayo, where the deadly attack happened, last year.

Very brave of her. Looks like the narrative keeps winning though. Islamic countries haven’t been doing too well since... ever.

Crystal82028223 Such a loss of an amazing woman. Her legacy will continue. So sorry, Canada and Somalia in the loss of this hero. May she Rest In Peace.

This is why IlhanMN doesn’t want to go back to where she is from and would rather spout off about how awful America is

And exactly how does being killed by terrorists change that narrative about the country? Peddling whatever narrative you want to create does not change the facts of the situation. Mainstream journalism seems to think otherwise.

LOL that didn't go so well!! LOL

Heaven forbid you should give her name without first being paid.

💔💔💔So sad and after what Dump said about Olan, all I can say is that my heart breaks for Somaliland.

She kind of proved the narrative about ‘her country’.

I dont feel bad for places that still support and practice slavery

So sad my prayers to their families

IlhanMN needs to go back to her country and implement her totalitarian ideas.

And yet democrats still support them

😣😔💔
