Lemn,
I am an Ethiopian student currently studying in the U.S and I have been a reader of yours for a little while now.
“I aim to inspire” — thank you for doing just that! I love reading your pieces and always find myself wanting to quote you all over the place. Keep doing what you do 🙂
Thanks
Lemn
