Day 29: Childhood Revisited

What is your earliest memory? Describe it in detail, and tell us why you think that experience was the one to stick with you. I want to say that my earliest memory is of being bathed as a baby in a plastic tub by a window with sunlight pouring in, … Continue Reading Day 29: Childhood Revisited

Back off that #icedcoffee! Yes there’s record-breaking heat but some things are simply made to burn no matter the season, like lov- err I mean coffee. A couple of old-timey-but-always-applicable #amharic adages made it into #daughtersofsilence. This is one of them. . .

Posted @withrepost • @diasporalifepod New Episode! In this 9th episode, we take some time to tell you a little about ourselves (who are Serk and Rebs exactly, and what do we do when we’re not podcasting? 🤔), and we read some thoughts, comments and feedback our listeners have sent us over the year. ❤️🤗 Happy listening! . . . #podcast #podcasting #story #stories #storytelling #habesha #ethiopia #eritrea #ethiopian #eritrean #africa #african #africandiaspora #hyphen #hyphenated #hyphenation #culture #society #immigrant #immigrantstories #silverspring #silverspringmd #toronto
Sometimes what pops out is too much/little or just far from what you’d intended to display. I revisited my recent experience at the London Bookfair in a new post on my (semi-dormant) blog.

Let the shamelessness begin! Oh yes I did...look up my own book on the Indigo’s instore comupter thingy! One could say I’m a teensy-weensy-itsy-bitsy bit excited for September 😝 But swear to god ✋🏾 when I walked into the store I hadn’t planned to look myself up, I just like to wander around there now & then like one might wander around a botanical garden. But later, did I go around to all the computers and leave the screens showing #daughtersofsilence pre-oder info (incidentally also available on my bio)? May🐝 I did 😏! . . . . . #daughtersofsilence #readthenorth #storytelling #habesha #ethiopian #ethiopianculture #immigrantstories #ethiopiandiaspora #amharic #diasporaliterature #africandiaspora #africanliterature #bookstagram #bookstagramafrica #canlit #habeshaculture #habeshaproblems #modernhabesha #habeshaexperience #goodreads #womensfiction #books #fiction
