Get to know us
Welcome to Woke Habesha — a bilingual podcast created for and by the Ethiopian and Eritrean diaspora. We’re here to spark real conversations, highlight untold stories, and build bridges across generations and borders. Whether you speak Amharic, English, or both, you’re part of this journey with us. At Woke Habesha, we believe in waking up to our potential, reconnecting with our roots, and pushing our communities forward, together.
Our mission
Our mission is simple: to inform, inspire, and empower the Ethiopian and Eritrean diaspora by creating a space where voices are heard, stories are shared, and critical conversations are brought to life. Through expert interviews, fresh perspectives, and heartfelt storytelling, we aim to break down barriers, challenge stereotypes, and celebrate the richness of our cultures.
Our vision
We envision a connected, thriving diaspora where every voice matters and every story shapes a stronger future. Woke Habesha is more than just a podcast — it's a movement to awaken pride, spark change, and strengthen our global community through dialogue, education, and unity.
