How did Kenyan-born Huldah Momanyi break barriers in US politics?

Huldah Momanyi Hiltsley has just made history.

She’s become the first Kenyan-born woman to be elected to the Minnesota House of Representatives.

Moving from Kisii in Kenya to the US Huldah faced challenges, including navigating the immigration system to prevent her family’s deportation.

Amid Donald Trump’s re-election as the 47th president, she is focused on amplifying minority voices and empowering immigrant communities.

She joins trailblazers like Somali-born Ilhan Omar, in reshaping the political landscape.

BBC Africa Daily’s Alan Kasujja explores her motivations, challenges and the growing influence of African women in US politics.
