A paint brush is a compelling object, and rather an intimidating one to touch, for it has a purpose that is best understood by the artist, its unquestionable master.

Artificial Intelligence – ሰው ሰራሽ የማሰብ ችሎታ
Artificial intelligence (AI) makes better sense in the simplicity of Amharic - ሰው ሰራሽ የማሰብ ችሎታ (a thinking capacity created by humans) than when defined with scientific sophistication and perfection in English, of course is also relatable in a simplified English language definition: “technology containing or entailing (human-like) intelligence”.

Our Blossom
Our Blossom's concept of a community-service start-up is rooted in an idea that emerged from a conversation between Addis-born Dorina Asmanio and her daughters, Abiyan, Gioia, and Melah, while collecting seeds for their private garden in Silver Spring, Maryland (USA). The busy fingers picked out the best for the bank while soft voices spoke imaginatively … Continue reading Our Blossom

Musings on ‘A New Day’ (አዲስ ቀን)
