I am deeply saddened by the departure of a prominent figure in Ethiopian arts, Almaz Haile (a.k.a. Mommy). She was one of handful stage women who bravely challenged an old Ethiopian tradition which used to ‘ban’ women from performing in public like theatre play scenes.
A versatile artistic talent, Almaz resisted the social taboo and was ready to face the unbearable social sanction, which many Ethiopian women of her generation ill afford to pay.
History remembers Almaz Haile for being amongst pioneers of change in Ethiopian arts, who opened the stage for talented Ethiopian women appear on play scenes.
Almaz’s departure is a huge loss for the arts and entertainment sector, but her legacy remains timeless.
May God allow her soul rest in Peace!
Condolences to her families, friends and fans!
