For Ethiopian American Women
Coffee, Church, and the Code You Carry
Coffee. Church. The code your mother's mother carried. This is where you name what you're keeping.
For the Ethiopian American woman navigating the specific intersection of Ethiopian cultural expectations — around family, faith, gender roles, and excellence — and the life she is building in America
The Name It First Experience
Ethiopian culture has expectations for women — around service, family, faith, and excellence that looks effortless even when it isn't. You have been carrying those expectations alongside American ones since you can remember. You have learned to be impressive in multiple directions at once. What you haven't done is name what you want — not what your family wants for you, not what the church expects, not what success looks like to the Habesha community. What you want. This workbook is for that. You leave with The Ethiopian American Woman's Identity Map — a named document of who you are on your own terms.
You can opt into 30-, 60-, and 90-day check-ins from your account. We recommend you do — the point is to see what changed.
Sample questions
- Name something you have always been expected to be excellent at — and notice how much of that expectation you chose and how much was handed to you.
- What is one thing you want that has no translation in the expectations of the Habesha community, your household, or your faith?
- What pattern have you carried from the women who raised you — and what do you notice when you look at whether you want to keep it?
