Salahedin Garabaj

The Libyan Diaspora

In this episode, our host Oswa Kaheel was joined by Salahedin Garabaj, a man who has made a name for himself by being both a man of influence in his local government and with Libyan Americans across the country. They discussed his early years in the U.S., what it was like during Gaddafi’s regime, college in America as a Libyan expat, assimilating to a new culture while trying not to erase his own, and how being a part of the diaspora has changed his perception of Libya and Libyans today.
