Meet Dina: I was born in Addis Ababa and came to Israel when I was a baby. Personally, I’ve never encountered racism, but I know a lot of Ethiopians who have.

Meet Avi: I came to value the mentality of ‘Suck it up’ but I know that I will educate my kids differently. I will not force them to overcome every challenge they might experience in their lives. I want them to have the ability to distinguish between overcoming hardship and the knowledge of letting go of something that is just not right for you.

Meet Rasta Hay Nevo: My dad is from Seychelles and my mother is from Israel, so I have this interesting vibe going on in my life. My father is a Rastafarian who came to Zion on a spiritual quest and I’m happy to say that I’m walking in his footsteps.
