Everyone Has a Right to Have Hope
The boys from Go Be More podcast chat with FIVE TIME Olympian Abdi Abdirahman about his amazing life and career.
Born in Hargeisa, Somalia, Abdi’s family fled the growing conflict in the 1980s and moved to Tucson, Arizona when he was still young. But it wasn’t until he entered Pima Community College that Abdi started running, an amazing story he shares with us.
