ADWA FOR OUR GENERATION: AUDACITY OF HOPE AND COURAGE! #Ethiopia #Habesha #IamNOThabesha #IAMEthiopian Let me tell you one thing, I did what I did for my emama Ethiopia, people make fun of me because I can barely speak Amharic and dismiss me because I gained weight, but I dont really care about that. I made a difference. You see what I did in the past couple of days was truly revolutionary, I started to wash away four decades of decadence as my Ethiopian brothers and sisters kept defaming emama Ethiopia by calling themselves an Arab habesha slave. But I did one thing I am proud of, I stood up for my inner light and refused to let fools who thought they knew better than me bend me to their will. Look, I talked about this before, I have fell into depression three times in my life, but it was not a biological depression, it was depression because of what my friends and community did to me. I did nothing more than help hundreds of people in the past 7 years, what I got in return was hatred and betrayal. I mean do I deserve to be made fun of because I fell into depression, what evil assholes make fun of depression. Do I deserve to be told that my dead father is ashamed of me? Do I deserve to be told to commit suicide? Like really? Why because I spoke my mind? Its cool though, I now see the big picture, my mom always said that I would be a revolutionary, and I have always struggled with that, I mean how can I be a revolutionary while working in corporate America? That is why I quit my six figure job at Booz Allen Hamilton, I want to be a revolutionary, not a revolution of bullets, but a revolution of knowledge and feeding people. So let IDIOTS continue to defame me, I made tens of thousands of former habesha people finally question hey why do I call myself habesha...that my friend is a revolution, and I did it armed with nothing more than my cell phone and my God given intellect. So let fools continue to lecture me, let idiots continue to tell me that my dead father would be ashamed of me, let people tell me to commit suicide, I dont care anymore, I know my true light, I am a revolutionary, I just proved it in three days. But my quest is not done, I am not resting on my laurels, I will continue to do research and will go back to the library of Congress this week with my brother Solomon to do more research, quiting would make me habesha, I am an Ethiopian jegna, I dont quit nor rest on my laurels, I will continue to prove to you that habesha means slave. But for now let me rest, I have a severe flu and my body is literally on fire, I need to take care of myself before I can take care of others. But just know that the spirit of depression has finally left me, I am happy and blessed because I made a difference.... One question though are you habesha?? To my father Fikre, finally I avenged you abate, our community did to you what they have been doing to me. You too tried to make a difference, but they dismissed you and laughed at you, you tried to be about hebret but the community acted like hobbits and refused to listen to you. The communitys indifference as much as cancer killed you and took you away from me! The battle I have been fighting was not only mine, it was also yours, there I can let go of this demon now, I know for a fact I made you proud. I love you and I miss you Fikreye! Lastly, this song is dedicated to all of my Ethiopian brothers and sisters, I know I go ham on you at times, its because I care and I dont want to see you calling yourself habesha, I dont want to see you wasting your God given potential, nor do I want Ethiopia to beg for rice from the skies from the US while the US keeps robbing Ethiopia blind. I picked this song for a specific reason, you see, another person I have been fighting this battle for is Abonesh, Abonesh once spoke her mind, and for that the very same people that believe in free speech organized a strike and shut you down. I know the pain you went through, they robbed you of your restaurant, but they did not rob you of your smile or your God given voice, I love you Abiti, I have your back where thousands of people turned their back to you. This song is about love of Ethiopia without regard to tribe, its one of my favorite songs, and a tear just dropped out of my eyes as I am listening to your song and writing this because I know of the pain our community put you through. Its cool though, where I go you will go, and I promise you that you will open up another restaurant within a year and I will be your first investor. To my community, friends and foes alike, yo seriously, stop hating on each other, we have a short life on this earth, make your life more than about black labels and turn ups, make your life about making a difference. Be your true light, otherwise you will stay blinded by ignorance. Stop calling yourself habesha, you are Ethiopian or Eritrean, you are sons and daughters of jegnas, act like it and stop acting like you are the property of Arabs! Now I am going to rest, God bless you Ethiopian lijoch,ke egzyaberg ga be selam nuru!

Your unconditional support and you accepting me as I am toughened me for this battle, I will never forget you! To those who make fun of me, you know who you are, you are not worthy of me mentioning your name, keep making fun of me, but you will never hurt me again, because I believe in an AWESOME God and I know that your hatred towards me is not because of me but because of your own insignificance. Envy is a hateful thing, stop worrying about my gift, nurture your own gift instead of silencing mine! Regardless, as my fellow human beings, I hope that God embraces you where the devil is currently kissing you. Le zelalem tinur Ethiopia, tenesu, tebaberu, abrachu be hebret ashenefu! #AdwaSpring , a revolution of ideas and feeding people instead of killing people!
