Azie Tesfai: How being from a third-world country helped me define myself
As many children are, Azie Tesfai was a picky eater growing up. Staring at the plate of food her mother would put in front of her at any given meal, little Azie would stubbornly insist, “I don’t want anything.”
But then, something profoundly shifted Tesfai’s life: She went home.
You see, while Tesfai was born in America and was largely raised in Los Angeles by her mother, she is a first-generation immigrant whose family hails from the developing East African countries of Ethiopia and Eritrea — aside from a few other relatives living in the States, most of her family still resides there.
And around the age of 10, Tesfai traveled to her family’s homeland for the first time.
To say it changed her would be an understatement.
