This is my dream.
Ethiopia has so much to offer the world — from breathtaking travel destinations, to powerful art, to incredibly talented creative people.
Most people just haven’t seen it yet.
Let me show you.
Dejene Hodes.
I'm Ethiopian-American living and working in Ethiopia
Ethiopia isn’t lacking opportunity. It’s overflowing with it.
What’s missing is access — real access to the places, the artists, and the people shaping the country today.
That’s what I’m building.
WHY ME
I love Ethiopia so much
That I moved back from the U.S. over ten years ago. Since then, I’ve worked in many different areas, but over time, travel, art, and media became what I care about most. They’re the spaces where I’ve felt the most connection, meaning, and purpose.Now I’m bringing all of that together — building from Ethiopia, working directly with people here, and slowly putting together the best team I can.
