  • Majoring in Architecture, I am interested in photography because it inspires me and I have so much passion for it. Why I decided to join Habesha Youth Artists is because what i was looking for. I think it's a great idea, it will help us share our though and ideas and help us come out strong and bold. My favorite quote will be “Don’t count the days; make the days
    count.”. because its the beautiful moments and the little things that make a day count its not just a number its fragment of your years on earth last but not least live by  your heart.                                                                     B.M
