​Something about our victories ...
tastes like the sweetness of the sunrise.
​
In "The Irritated Genie" by Dr. Jacob Carruthers, every hue of liberty shines brilliantly from each page. Expect to enjoy an intellectually scrumptious and savory feast. I am drawn to books like these. After getting an overdose of deception and deceit from history classes, it is like a breath of fresh air to read a comprehensive book that shares the glory and grit of gaining independence in Haiti.

FACTS ABOUT ETHIOPIA

4/7/2024

 
Picture
​​It felt like home when I first arrived.

Ethiopia...It all started when the airport officials pointed at me and motioned to come forward to their booth.  I didn't know what was happening as they were speaking what I now know was Amharic.  Since I travelled alone, I didn't know what I was about to encounter.
