The people of Ethiopia are saying they've had enough of the killings and are tired of being exiled, imprisoned, beaten and we are done. We have had enough. We want peace now.

People are demanding their rights and not backing down and I hope that change is on the horizon and change will come to Ethiopia soon, so I don't have even go that far to seek a U.S. citizenship.

I want to be a voice for my people and I will continue to protest.

I'm trying to be careful as much as I can eating this American food. Burgers are heavy. So, I'm trying to minimize that as much as I can.

Sports are my life. It is my life but it's also how I earn a living.

In Ethiopia, the problem is that you don't know who's who. You don't know who to trust. You don't have any freedom.

I hope that the day will come when the system will change and all of the people in Ethiopia will have equal rights and I look forward to a day like that where I too can go home and be part of the Ethiopian story.
