Hamdi Mohamed created history after she became the first woman of Somali descent to be elected to join the Commission.
Apart from that, Mohamed also created further piece of history after she became the first Commissioner to be elected from South King County.
Mohamed was born in Somalia.
Her family then moved to the United States when she was a 3-year old child.
At the time, Somalia was experiencing the Civil War that killed thousands of people and left millions displaced and in despair.
