We (my parents, my brother and me) moved from Ethiopia to the US in November 2016. My brother was the first to get a job. It was at a sandwich shop. When he returns from work, I notice the fatigue on his face. At times, he was limping. Standing ten hours non-stop (with only a short time for snack) was too much for his legs. I don’t work to break my back for a minimum wage. I have to go to college.
My dad tells me of the time that the Ethiopian Emperor was overthrown by a coup d’état. Soldiers that call themselves ‘derg’, confiscated land, houses and even cash at bank that belonged to people who they say were connected to the Emperor. Overnight the life of many changed for the worse. The life of the educated did not change much. Nobody
