Description
HEAR ME is a BBC Young Reporter's podcast, which explores what identity means for young people growing up Britain today. Ahmed's story is about being a child of the diaspora – a product of a displaced family due to civil war in Somalia. Ahmed was born in the Netherlands to Somali Parents and grew up in the UK from a very young age. Ahmed feels he needs answers to two questions; where does he belong and whether or not he has a duty to one day return to Somalia. Through the experiences of young Somalis in his home of Leicester, he hopes he will find himself more comfortable with his identity by the end his journey to seek answers.
