Iman says: "When we want to get to a happy place and dance, we'll play Lionel Richie and all the old school stuff because it reminds of us of when we came to Canada and our family."

The pair returned to the continent to shoot a music video recently. Here they are pictured at the Maasai Market in Nairobi, Kenya, with their mom. While the pair have a clear goal in mind, Iman says her older sibling has final say sometimes. "Even though (Siham's) a year and a half older than me, she looks smaller but she's definitely the boss. And I'm always trying to do stuff and she'll shut me down."

The pair say they'd love to return home and have tried several times in their capacity as spokespeople for ARC Relief. Siham explains: "We actually had a conversation about it with Angelina Jolie while we were in Switzerland and she was going to go on the same trip. She was like "Oh you guys are going? I'm going too!" But there was a bombing and the trip got canceled."

She adds: " Recently, we had opportunities with VICE and Diesel. We did a campaign for them for their fashion line -- Diesel Edun. And VICE were going to shoot our music video in Africa anywhere we wanted. Obviously we wanted to go to Somalia but it was way too dangerous and they didn't want to put the crew at risk. We ended up shooting our video in Kenya (pictured) but Somalia was our first choice. I feel like it's not fair that we can't do what we love in our own country for fear of our lives."
