Building peaceful development by strengthening cultural identity- Omar Degan

In Episode 08 we virtually traveled all the way to Italy to connect with our guest Omar Degan. Omar Degan is ethnically Somalian living between East and West. He is the principal of his firm DO It Architecture. We had a great time connecting with Omar.
