Amen Afrofeast Brand Ambassador: 5 Reasons Why She’s the Best
I get asked about the face of Afrofeast all the time—the beautiful, quiet soul in our photos. Her name is Amen, and she is our official Amen Afrofeast Brand Ambassador.
If you’ve seen her photos, you know she has a quiet strength and a natural elegance. But if you think you know her, you’re probably wrong. It’s hard to describe Amen. She keeps to herself and you won’t know much about her. But she told me almost everything. Simply put, she is an introvert.
This isn’t a typical model story. This is the story of a young woman who shows what real African travel is about. She only agreed to help us after I kept asking!
Amen Afrofeast Brand Ambassador: Where Was Amen Born?
Our Amen Afrofeast Brand Ambassador was born in Jimma, Ethiopia. Jimma is a lively city in the Oromia Region, famous for its history, its connection to the old Kingdom of Kaffa, and, most importantly, its coffee. It’s a place full of culture and tradition, and Amen carries that history with her.
She comes from a large, close family—a great example of the strong community bonds you find all over Ethiopia. She lives with her dad, mum, and two little sisters. Her family life is key to who she is. This strong connection to her home in Jimma is exactly why she is the perfect Ethiopian Brand Ambassador for Afrofeast. She shows the real, honest beauty of the continent.
The Dual Life: Marketing Student and Reluctant Nurse
So, what does our Amen Afrofeast Brand Ambassador actually do when she’s not helping us with a photoshoot?
Amen is a marketing student right now. This fits her quiet intelligence and sharp observation skills. But she is also finishing a nursing course. She doesn’t like nursing, but she says she is doing it to make her dad happy. This small detail tells you a lot about her: she deeply respects her family and puts their happiness first. She is very close to her dad, and we really admire her commitment to her family.
This double life—the creative mind and the dutiful daughter—gives her a unique view of the world. She understands modern life but stays true to Ethiopian culture and values.

Amen’s Travels for Afrofeast: The Southeast Asia Tour
Since joining Afrofeast, Amen has been key to showing our brand to the world. Her travels have taken her far from Ethiopia, giving her a unique view of the world. She has travelled for Afrofeast across Southeast Asia, including:
- Thailand: Bangkok and Phuket
- Cambodia: Siem Reap and Phnom Penh
- Vietnam: Ho Chi Minh City, Nha Trang, Ha Noi, Da Nang, Quy Nhon, and Ha Long Bay (Bai Chay)
These trips are more than just photoshoots; they are part of her own journey and show how far the Afrofeast idea can reach. Her being in these different places highlights how everyone loves real travel and the beauty of African people doing what their forefathers and mothers did.
I often get asked where we met. It was in Ethiopia in August 2023. It was a chance meeting at Yod Abyssinia that quickly became a partnership. I noticed her right away—not just her looks, but the quiet confidence and depth in her eyes.
I saw that she was the perfect person to show what Afrofeast is about: real, grounded, and deeply connected to her heritage. It took a lot of convincing, but she finally understood the vision. She realized that by being the face of Afrofeast, she wasn’t just modeling; she was helping to tell a story—the story of Africa and its people.
Why She Is Not a Model (And Why That Matters)
Is she a model? No. Amen doesn’t like modeling, even though she tried it when she was 16. She thought the industry was too strict.
However, she decided to help Afrofeast build its brand. This is important. Amen is not a professional model; she is a real person. She is helping us because she believes in our goal of promoting honest, meaningful travel. Her not wanting to model is her best quality—it means every photo of her is real, not fake. She is the real deal, an Ethiopian travel influencer by accident.
This honesty is what makes Afrofeast different, and it is what makes Amen the perfect Amen Afrofeast Brand Ambassador.
