Ilhan Omar – Isra Hirsi
Ilhan Omar isn’t the only one in her family making waves—her daughter, Isra Hirsi, is shaking up the world in her way. Born in 2003, she wasn’t content just watching history unfold—she decided to help write it. At 16, she co-founded the U.S. Youth Climate Strike, landing on Fortune’s 40 Under 40 list in 2020.
By 2024, she was making headlines again—this time for a pro-Palestinian protest at Columbia University that led to her suspension from Barnard College. While some saw controversy, her mother saw conviction. With activism in her DNA, she’s proving that being outspoken runs in the family!
