Are you familiar with this picture when looking for old nostalgic pics of Somalia?
This is Sarah’s parents ( the one on the left is her father, Somali and the one on the right is her mother, German).
Like many across the African diaspora, Sara Jabril holds the untold stories of her homeland, Somalia, close to her heart.

The Dhulka Hooyo Project is Jabril’s way of offering and inviting others to see Somalia through a personal and Somali-centered lens. Find out how the vintage photography project helped Jabril reclaim the narrative of her country and her creativity
My name is Sara Jabril. I am an aspiring storyteller and Africa-focused content creator. I was born and raised in Berlin by a German mother and Somali father. Since 2015, I have been living in different African countries working on global development and strategic communications projects. Most recently, I am working on a project supporting the cultural and creative industries in three African countries.
