ABOUT ME

I was born and raised in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. In 1982, during the height of Ethiopia’s political turmoil, I migrated to the United States to avoid persecution by the military socialist regime then in power. Upon coming to the United States, I decided to pursue a career in the arts, and enrolled in the theater and arts management program at Mary Baldwin College in Staunton, Virginia. After graduation, in 1987, I immersed in many disciplines within the creative world. In May 2000, I completed the Masters in Fine Art Program at Howard University.
