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.
