Samaa is an American who was born in New York, grew up in Ohio and earned her PhD at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. She came to Maine in 2010 as an assistant professor at Bowdoin College. Now she is the Community Engagement Coordinator for the Maine Coalition to End Domestic Violence.
She shares information for immigrants and all others regarding the programs and resources available to people experiencing domestic violence (also known as intimate partner violence). Hotlines have translators available, if needed. Hot links are available below to supporting organizations:

*Immigrant Resource Center of Maine
*New England Arab American Association
*Domestic Abuse Intervention
*Nationial Domestic Violence Hotline 1-800-799-7233
An immigrant survivor of domestic violence may be eligible for special immigrant-related protections, due to their elevated vulnerability around legal status issues. See the legal aid organization ILAP for more details.

Music: Dobet Gnahoré sings "Dala" from her album
Na Afriki.
