Smitha Iyanna

The Ever Resilient Yadey Abeba Smitha Iyanna

This is the story of one girl's journey that has its humble origins in rural Ethiopia. Just like the yellow Meskel flower or 'Yadey Abeba' that blossoms despite the harsh terrain in the highlands of the country, she too triumphs in spite of the innumerable hurdles that life puts on her path. Through sheer grit, determination and hard work she uses every opportunity that comes her way to rise to the top. She maintains an irrepressible spirit throughout the expedition of her life and carves out a niche for herself. It is a positive tale about the hidden strength that women possess regardless of being marginalized as the weaker sex.
