I know I’ve been posting irregularly, but I want to bring light on this cause which I find to be quite fascinating.
This crowdfunding campaign involves independent media organization Advise Show Media as they try to cover the Ashenda Festival in Mekelle, Ethiopia. Here’s a video of what said festival is about…
I think this is so fantastic on several levels. It’s awesome showing all the different cultures with how they celebrate. For those of you that know about me here or my other blogs, you should know that I can’t stand the stereotypes of Africa being poor, crime-ridden, diseased, and having no culture. This is a way to break through those lies that the mainstream media perpetuates on Africa. The Ashenda Festival crowdfunding is a great cause for Advise Show to cover this year’s festival, document the event, and to show various aspects of Ethiopia that they never show anyone.
I support this cause, and I hope you give it a little glimpse. Thank you.
P. S. Major thumbs up for Ethiopia and Eritrea finally reaching peace with each other after decades of fighting. Seeing both countries’ leaders hugging each other just hit me in the feels.

Thank you and I’m glad that you appreciate this. I’ve been researching things about Africa which I found to be really fascinating. There have been some great nonfiction books out there and I’ve even checked out some African movies (I even reviewed a Nigerian movie on Iridium Eye a while ago called Lunch Time Heroes). I think this is a great campaign and I hope Advise Show Media raises the money and document the Ashenda Festival.
