ROLLER GIRL follows the story of Astrid as she navigates the hard-hitting worlds of junior roller derby and middle school friendships. You can visit her website to view her beautiful artwork. The colors in this book were provided by Iman Geddy, an artist living in Atlanta. He is the founder of the non-profit organization Refugee Strong, which delivers school supplies to students still living in Dadaab. Omar now lives in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Omar and his younger brother Hassan fled their homeland of Somalia when civil war broke out, and spent the next 18 years in Dadaab. This book tells the story of Omar's childhood spent in the Dadaab refugee camp in Kenya. My lastest graphic novel (April 2020) is co-written with Omar Mohamed.
