Kidist Mekonnen
Helping people break into writing
- 🇪🇹 Adama, Oromia, Ethiopia
- Adama Foundation
- Since 2000
- English, Amharic, Spanish
For 26 years I've mentored people in writing and software. Mostly it's coffee, honest feedback and a lot of listening.
Most of my mentees are early in their careers. A few are in their fifties and starting over, and they're some of my favorites.
If we met, say hello. I'd love to know how life turned out.
