Thoughts on creating community
"It would be good to broaden the LBQ community. I was born and raised in Addis Ababa, but I’ve lived in a regional state. When I was there, there were a lot of women like us, a lot of lesbians, but they didn’t try to make queer friends or meet people. They live their lives… Continue reading Thoughts on creating community

Dating: What is dating like as a queer woman?
When I'm on my own, I'm a force of nature who is authentically herself, but when I'm with someone I am dating, I panic and can't be myself because I fear for them. I don't want people to attack or insult them just because they are involved with me! It's a weird and disturbing feeling. … Continue reading Dating: What is dating like as a queer woman?

ሁሌም የዓለም ዋንጫን በቅርበት የምከታተል የእግር ኳስ ደጋፊ ነኝ። ማህበራዊ እና አንዳንድ ጊዜም ከስራ ጋር የተገናኙ ግዴታዎቼን በመተው ብዙ ጊዜ ከቴለቪዥኑ ጋር ተጣብቄ የተቻለኝን ያህል ጨዋታዎችን እመለከታለሁ። ቡድኖቼን ከአንድ እስከ አምስት ደረጃ ሰጣቸው እና እያንዳንዳቸው ወደቀጣዩ ደረጃ ሲያልፉ ወይም ሲወድቁ እከታተላለሁ። ምንም ሌላ ቡድኖችን ብደግፍም ለኔ የተሳካላቸው አፍሪካዊ ቡድኖች የመጀመሪያ ምርጫዎቼ ናቸው። ለምሳሌ ሉዊስ ሱዋሬዝ… Continue reading እንደ ኩዊር ኢትዮጵያዊ የዓለም ዋንጫን መመልከት
Watching the World Cup as a queer Ethiopian
I am a football fan who has always closely followed the World Cup. I am often glued to the TV, forgoing any social (and sometimes) work-related obligations to watch as many games as possible. I rate my teams from one to five and watch as each progresses or fails to progress to the next stage.… Continue reading Watching the World Cup as a queer Ethiopian
