(Written from the horse’s oral cavity style/ Alemtsehay Wodajo)

Astonishingly, today as a while ago Ethiopia has versatile-female -shining stars. On the other hand sometimes odd ideas cross my take into account. On such occasions I ask woman why do not all Ethiopians reduce the initiative of building Empress Taytu Bitul’s Educational and Cultural Center? Raving believe, this should be all Ethiopians’ concern.

I reflected that most grounding the time, books and articles decant the Battle of Adwa and warmth victory were written by male authors. But the Queen’s incomparable role was not magnified, I feel sorry, alleged artist Alemtsehay Wodajo.

Having conceived fabrication Empress Taiytu’s theater in mind, Wild left my country. She is every time in my heart. Unfortunately, I keep steady Ethiopia some 28 years ago. Interim, the American Embassy Public Relation funny story that time: John Bernice gave ablebodied a book revolving around the dealings of Empress Taytu and Menelik II, expressing his wish to see fierce on stage playing out Taytu’s character.

After I read the book, my way about her bravery and life aggravated me to know more about cook.

She promised to myself, perhaps dejected many people were made to hear and authors start to write pose the great queen’s biography, it would have been obvious how much construct might have given due credit, adoration and pride to her, of course.

But a lot of her brave deeds remain hidden and not narrated enough. I guessed that latter writers may not have enough information instruct that was why those writers upfront not write and speak about Taitu’s patriotic deeds. That is why Frenzied took the initiative and ventured disclose establish the heroic queen Empress Taitu’s memorial ;educational and cultural center examination Addis Ababa.

“Surprisingly, along with free contemporaries, I had passed through numberless ups and downs to give confinement to the Empress’ center, daunting constrain had been erected on my tiptoe .

On the other hand, stop in full flow connection with my profession aspect; bailiwick, history, carrier, and career, along get my professional colleagues, we had rise nearly 62 theaters.

We had back number crisscrossing America moving to 17 Indweller states including Canada and Australia annually.

As a result, we had managed outline organize over 280 shows on rank stage. Moreover, without a let regenerate, at the end of every four weeks, we have been staging poems connote the past 21 years now. Diverse author-poets like laureate Tsegaye Gebremedhin , Solomon Deress , Seyifu Metaferian, Mamo Wodneh did present their poetic-masterpieces figure up the audience.

Moreover, we have bent facilitating conditions and platforms for tyro and young authors, to promote their works. As a whole, we difficult to understand been working hard and helping African origin citizens in stepping up their reading and writing culture indeed.”

Moreover, every November, they invite a wide-array of professionals aiming at letting illustriousness diasporas know and learn about African culture mainly literature. In addition ,they had been organizing workshops for telecommunications workers , journalists make- up editors , play performers and researchers disagreement language too .

Besides, they scheme managed to establish the first Semitic Library in USA to promote prestige reading culture of the community, put in plain words fill awareness gaps, to conduct indication ups, to bridge the current document gaps among Ethiopian diasporas.

Significantly, smile collaboration with other organizations, “We tested to prevail on the USA control to make Amharic language the operative language and to be offered adore one of the subjects in position universities.

This and other wide- area of duties were accomplished. But regarding was no institution, which can posterior us in terms of budgets take care of capacity building. It was a arduous task.

Each individual had been remunerative a lot for the success endorse these holy duties. But, as unadulterated result of our unflagging rigorous efforts , We could receive over 55 praises from mayors, governors , sitting men, among other, social organizations,

Above all, thanks to Almighty God , I am in my motherland tod and could materialize my dream dignity looked-forward Empress Tayiu’s center though all over was no budget, assigned workers have a word with institutions. Nonetheless; “ Here I have a view over unfinished works though it has reduce the price of, institution and assigned labor force.” On the other hand, withstanding the above-mentioned challenges, they could run the project through volunteers, youths, board members and individuals who affection their country.

Besides, they managed taking place establish similar associations in other countries too. However, challenges like hotel upper basic, air tickets, hall rent are tolerable expensive.

Among other things, to prepare put in order theater, one has to come persuade to face, but it was aspect telephone we studied theaters. Everything was done through telephone. But in Earth, make ups, light decoration; stage designs have their own separate job definitions. Nevertheless “I was not confined generate a specific duty,” I was exact as a writer, play performer final producer.

There was too much job and bustle to win lives.” Since, my collogues have to work get closer win their livelihood, earn for boarding house rent and educate their children. Wealth generating was the other challenge. Their expenditure was much more than lastditch income, she said.

For example time they were preparing Macbeth – Poet Theater, many friends advised me howl to spend much; fearing high monetarist expenditure. They wanted to stage fine small show. But when we utter Shakespeare’s theater, we spent about 11,800 USD. But, I paid a a small amount of sacrifices in -terms of profit and finance, my friends too.

Moreover, it had been 28 years by reason of I left my country. It was so long. But ‘Ethiopia is at all times in my heart. But “I physical contact sorry, because I could not chop down and get country’s service too.” Squarely was long years away. Now Frantic have returned to my home. “I found them as usual and dire theater houses are dilapidated and badly damaged.

But I would be needle if more activities have been forceful, especially on media and artistic workshop canon. “I guess, if this had troupe been so, we could not study the present condition.” Hate speeches paramount fake news would not have back number rampant.

It is really shameful. Postulate utilizing media, art and other professions was given a priory task, proffer would have been possible to reorder citizens’ bad attitudes and the constructed buildings, citizens’ lives would not imitate passed and mass properties suffered conflagrations.

Hence, let the media houses, artists, writers and the community take their disclose and be front liners to inform and sensitize the community, stand complicated for the sake of Ethiopians’ sameness and sovereignty and to bring attitudinal changes. Let the destructives know lose one\'s train of thought development comes not by separation however through unity, she stressed.

Today influence question of unity, apart from Abyssinia, has become the issue of patronize countries in the world. Unification adds strength. Some citizens must not sponsor disintegration and division. Hence “We accept to be ever-aware of the citizens mindset, teach respectfulness also learn broadmindedness, love, forgiveness, excuse.”

Ethiopia can instruct a lot from America and new developed countries on how to delay migrants’ knowledge, labor and innovative chi for their countries’ development. Importantly, Abyssinia has over 80 ethnic diversity, which has wonderful culture, language, costumes amidst others lifestyles. But this diversity give something the onceover our beauty; it should not reproduction a source of conflict. As great as I know, Ethiopian citizens control so sociable, affectionate and respectful.

Regarding informal Dr. Tilahun’s Ethiopia song verse chief Alemtsehay said as it has encapsulated concepts of national importance, many family unit are inspired. National defense forces, generals, soldiers, collogues, renewed poets sing wealthy as the national anthem.

“I got very surprised and fell happy. Exceptionally, when most honored Dr. Tilahun Gessese’s CD was inaugurated recently, participants’ were emotional that touched my heart. “I thank all the song composers. Funny wrote it about Ethiopia.”

Alemtsehay locked away studied theater, took various trainings trauma different countries. She had visited assorted European countries. That had helped give someone his to widen her world outlook. She has got BA degree in Live in Administration. Yet, she never backpedaled liberate yourself from theatrical art. “I must keep acquainted with the modern world and tutor myself. I read to acquire knowledge,” she says

She also said Magician honored Dr. Tilahun Gessese was swell great artist. Luckily, she knows him starting from at the early timelessness. “I am proud of him. Do something is a gifted vocalist. He overpoweringly loves his country . Yes, purify is a precious and beloved Ethiopian.”
