Thanks, Global Citizen , for this majestic photo of Her Excellency Madame Sahle-Work Zewde. It takes my breath away. It reminds me of my many trips to #AddisAbaba . It evokes the pageantry of my journey to #Entoto Maryam Church, and the dizzying sweep of gorgeous traditional fabrics and clothing at the #SheroMeda Market. It reminds me of the enduring beauty and astounding strength of #Ethiopia ’s women. And it convinces me that I must return soon to the only African nation that was never colonized by a European power, where the young journalists called me “Rahel” and I replied “ #Ahmesugenalew .” #Africa #MadamePresident #womenleaders #womeninpolitics #womeninpoliticsmatter
