As part of a new four-part series called Diaspora Diaries, hip hop artist Cherrie talks about her success and her struggle to find identity as a black woman in Scandinavia.
Born in Norway to Somali parents and raised in Sweden, she says she feels neither 100% Swedish nor Somali.

The BBC caught up with her during September’s general election in Sweden – where an anti-immigration party was vying to make large gains.
