Workbook
For Ethiopian and Eritrean (American) Families
A Workbook on Political Complexity, Orthodox Identity, and the Pride That Survived Everything It Had to Survive
You can love someone from the other side of a border. You are already doing it.
For the Ethiopian or Eritrean American family navigating pride in heritage alongside political complexity, historical grief, and the question of what to transmit to the next generation.
The Name It First Experience
Your heritage includes historical grief, political complexity, and diaspora divisions that your parents are still processing. This workbook helps your family reclaim pride in what it took to survive without requiring children to choose political sides. You will build The Ancestral Peace Accord — a stress-tested and signed document of what your family carries forward and how.
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
- What do you want your children to feel when they say they are Ethiopian or Eritrean — and what makes that hard to teach when the history is complicated?
- In your family, what parts of where you come from are spoken about with pride — and what parts are kept quiet, or spoken about in ways that divide rather than connect?
- How do you teach your children that where they come from is worthy of pride — even, or especially, because of what your people survived?
