In this installment of the Untold Stories of Central Minnesota, Arts and Cultural Heritage Producer Jeff Carmack talks with an SCSU student who has overcome the challenges of bullying and poverty to become an inspiration for others struggling with life. 

Karim Mohamed was born in the United States to Somali parents who fled the war to provide a better life for their children, and they were well on their way to doing just that here in Minnesota when Karim’s father got sick. Things went downhill from there, but instead of succumbing to the difficulties life had presented him, Karim chose a different path, one of positivity and self-awareness that is just beginning to open up into an exciting future of podcasts and viral videos.
