Sally James (@jamesian) profiles Dr. Anisa Ibrahim for the South Seattle Emerald, explaining how a Somali girl in a Kenyan refugee camp found her way to Seattle and then into a career in medicine — and what her history and experiences bring to the care she offers her patients. Today, Ibrahim is head of pediatrics at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle, where she finds joy in serving as a role model for children with backgrounds like hers.
