Welcome to The Human Map!

Two of the largest immigrant groups in the United States came from struggle, poverty, and instability.

But they didn’t survive America the same way.

In this episode of The Human Map, we compare Somalis and Mexicans — not to judge, but to understand how different cultures, histories, and survival strategies interact with the same American system.

Mexican communities built strength through labor, territory, and proximity.
Somali communities built power through networks, trust, and transnational capital.

One group stayed close to home.
The other stretched across continents.

One took over streets, industries, and cities.
The other moved money, businesses, and influence across borders — often without contracts or banks.

So who really cracked the American system?

We explore:

Migration logic and settlement patterns

Family structure and community enforcement

Money movement, remittances, and investment abroad

Stereotypes, crime narratives, and media perception

Why success looks different depending on culture

This is not a competition — it’s a comparison of two survival models operating inside the same country.

The Human Map explores how history, migration, and culture shape human behavior and power systems.
