Celebrating Ethiopian Culture by Emewodesh Eshete

This is a photo story about how our family’s culture brought us together during quarantine. My family and I are very busy people. I would be at ballet almost everyday for late nights and the same thing goes with my brother and his basketball practices. We rarely have time to get together and celebrate our culture as a family. Quarantine has allowed us to spend more time with each other and celebrate all our Ethiopian traditions way more.

Making traditional Ethiopian coffee is not something our family can make all the time. It’s one of those things where you have to do it with everyone. Here we have my mom wearing her traditional Ethiopian dress while roasting the coffee beans and she’s showing my brother how to do it. It opens him up a little bit more about our culture.

My mom always pours the coffee into these tiny cups. The pot that she uses to pour them in is called a “Jebena.” A traditional pot that you use when pouring coffee into these cups.
