Rigat woke up with her heart racing in excitement on a bright August morning. The camp around her buzzed with life as sounds of laughter and music filled the air. Together with her older sister, Lidya, Rigat was about to discover the magic of Ashenda, a Tigrayan celebration that celebrates freedom and culture.
From the intricate Tilfi dresses to the joyful songs and dances, Rigat learns the beauty of her heritage. Lidya patiently explains each custom, making this day unforgettable for her little sister. Join Rigat and Lidya in this heartwarming adventure that captures the magic and beauty of Ashenda!
The Ashenda Girl by Dr. Mearg ( Magi) Tareke captures the essence of family and culture with vibrant storytelling. An enchanting tale of hope and joy.
Dr. Mearg Tareke, also known as Magi, grew up in Adwa, Ethiopia, where she was inspired by the resilience of girls and women in her community. Now based in the United States, she is a pharmacist (PharmD), model and is involved in a number of community projects & business ventures. She's also the founder of My Shoes Your Shoes, a non-profit dedicated to providing shoes and school supplies to girls in need. Her work in a Sudanese refugee camp in 2022 inspired her to write this story, celebrating the strength and spirit of girls everywhere.
