    Fasika is my favorite Ethiopian holiday! Lots of great memories growing up in addis but over time am not sure how to sustain those cultural practices.

    Weaving though the barriers

    Trying to create resources and power in white dominant culture can be trippy. This is a letter to my family and community that loves and supports me.

A podcast like no other

I love listening to all sorts of podcasts and anxious black mom is one of the most refreshing.

Glad too have found you

Hey there Selam
So glad to have found your podcast. I am enjoying listening and learning. Thank you for sharing. I am fellow super anxious black/immigrant habesha mom ,who have muddled through my parenting journey, made it to the teen/early twenties years, learned many lessons along the way. I am excited and hopeful to notice some of the younger generation habesha women like yourself starting to communicate, share and support each other in this important journey of parenting. We need to cultivate and develop this culture of sharing information and experiences.
Keep up the good work.
