Our fourth spotlight interview in this year’s cohort is with Fawzi (she/her). Fawzi is a DJ and rapper. Her creation for the 2022-2023 Cedar Commissions Caruurteena is a mournful invitation to Somali parents and elders to witness harsh and heartbreaking truths of fentanyl abuse amongst Somali youth. The title translates to “for our children.” Fawzi compassionately addresses the topic of drug addiction and asks if we can place the stigma aside in order to save the lives of these young people. Fawzi spoke with Twin Cities music writer Youa Vang about her steadfast commitment to music-making, her visioning, and the hopeful impact of this work.
