Ep 42 : My experience as a young muslim woman in parliament || Hon. Ummulkheir Harun

Today on The Laughing Labcoat, we sit down with Hon. Ummulkheir Harun — one of Kenya’s youngest and most dynamic MPs — to talk about what it really means to lead from the margins. From her journey growing up in Garissa, to founding Kesho Alliance, to taking her seat in Parliament, Ummulkheir is rewriting what leadership looks like for young people, for Somali women, and for the entire Northern region of Kenya. We dive into: The Garissa boundary conflict and what it means for the North Why flood responses in Northern Kenya are always delayed The real impact of the Mandera–Isiolo road project How Somali leaders are changing the face of national politics The power — and pressure — of being young, Somali, hijabi, and unapologetic in the halls of power This is not just a story of representation — it’s a story of resistance, resilience, and results. 00:00 - Introduction 02:00 - Growing up in Garissa 05:00 - Founding Kesho Alliance 10:00 - From Grassroots to Parliament 15:00 - The Garissa Boundary Conflict 20:00 - The Forgotten Floods 25:00 - Somali Leaders and National Politics 30:00 - Reflections and Message to Youth Subscribe for more bold conversations that matter.
