“We live in a diverse community and that is what matters,” another board member, Nyamal Dei, who is an immigrant and believes the fact that Americans come from “all walks of life” is “most important,” according to Inforum.

FARGO (KFGO) – Five people, including four newcomers, were elected to the Fargo School Board Tuesday, ousting three incumbents. One of those newcomers is Nyamal Dei, and long-time political observers in Fargo think her win may be a historic one for the city: Dei is believed to be the first Black person elected to any office in Fargo’s history. . .
Dei got emotional when she reflected on her journey to get to this point. She is a refugee of South Sudan, where she said she saw atrocities while fleeing the country. She came to the U.S. at age 10. . .
Curious to what she does for a living. That would be very interesting to know how she pays the bills.
