Smartphone use overdose

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. 


Fasika is almost here!

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.

Personal Journals

Motherhood can be traumatic! Selam's engaging personal narrative details how becoming a mother transforms every aspect of life; marriage, career, health, community, and self-identity. Selam uses a diary format to explore how the hurried, patriarchal, and unequal world leaves working moms out of breath and overwhelmed! Using collective wisdom, Selam invites us to reflect on sustainable practices for life. At times hilarious, uplifting, and frustrating. Each episode is a virtual hug from one sister mama to another!
