Musa met her now-husband through Facebook and they were friends for years before their relationship. Musa was married to her first husband at age 18 and they divorced years later. “They didn't believe that I left for real,” said Musa about her community. She says they told her, “‘Women are not meant to be single. Your sole purpose on Earth is to reproduce.’” (Aryana Noroozi © 2021) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e13c0ff05a6451b82cf7688/1683133586769-DFVYYX2707WZD94UZEPG/aryanaxBVNAryana+Noroozi-377220729.jpg Reportage Daniel’s mother, Lauren Taylor-Mayweather, holds a football-shaped urn containing Daniel’s ashes on July 29, 2022.

She said the lavadero and her yard among other things in the family home remind her of her home in Chiapas, Mexico.

Musa, a Somalian refugee, challenged the narrative commonly set for women within her community by leaving her first arranged marriage and studying at UC San Diego. “It's all about choice and doing something because it's for you,” she said. “It's something that you want to do, not something that your dead ancestors ask you that you have to do because you are a woman.” Musa remarried to her now-husband after years of friendship and a relationship that she chose.

Consolata Shabani, 38, attends a Zoom ESL class from her living room. Shabani says it’s more difficult to understand the class on Zoom and feels more comfortable asking questions in person. Originally from The Congo, Shabani immigrated from a refugee camp in Tanzania with her brother and seven of her eight daughters whom she lives with. In the evening, she studies, attends parent meetings, and often video calls her oldest daughter in Australia.

Daniel Nyamangah, a Community Organizer at Parent Student Resident Organization (PSRO), delivers diapers and school supplies to Musa at dusk. They met when Musa was a high school student and became involved in PSRO. Nyamangah brought supplies to all 3 family homes throughout the workday. Musa was his last stop. PSRO acts as a liaison between educators and families, holding meetings in 7 languages: Arabic, Burmese, Karen, Kizagua, Somali, Spanish, and Swahili. While each group is culturally different, their experiences with online learning and concerns about supporting their children are similar.
