What People Say…

I had the pleasure of attending Abeba’s lecture about Ethiopian & Eritrean coffee culture.  She made a splendid demonstration of a coffee ritual by displaying traditional tools and artifacts representing both countries.

Abeba’s presentation was very educational in itself, but the way she answered the questions with authority and knowledge was even entertaining.  The good number of participants that had attended her program had the pleasure of tasting coffee and snacks provided by her and everyone admired the elegant presentation and knowledge they witnessed.

Abeba, having been born in another country and lived abroad, has an excellent understanding and empathy for those from other cultures and groups.  She provides expert advice on cross-cultural development for anyone who is in need of her advice and insight.  I consider her an excellent source for consultation on a myriad of organizational issues and a tireless worker for anything she decides to do.  Abeba has my unqualified support and recommendation.

I went to a special dinner that was hosted by a friend in her home and Abeba was the chef and cooked us a delicious Eritrean/Ethiopian meal.  Before the meal, Abeba spoke with us about the food that is served in these countries and told us about some of the dishes that she had prepared for that evening.  The food was absolutely delicious and the service was outstanding.

Abeba is a wonderful woman who is very articulate, knowledgeable, confident and personable.  She is friendly and a great presentative of her country of origin and the United States to all the people she meets from countries around the world.  She is versatile and flexible and a woman of many interests, capabilities, and talents.  I have always found her charming and intelligent as well.  I highly recommend Abeba!
