Hello, I’m Wonde.

I grew up in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, where even as a child I was captivated by the world beyond my immediate surroundings. Whether playing marbles beside the Angolan embassy in my neighborhood or helping a foreigner buy eggs at a local shop, I was fascinated by the ways people and cultures intersect. Those early moments sparked a lifelong curiosity about the world — one that transcends borders and challenges the limits of identity.
