Melkam Addis Amet. 💚💛❤ ・・・ #Repost @model_ii_kaya_ises ・・・ Taytu Betul was an authentic Ethiopian leader. Her deeds at a critical moment in Ethiopian history not only saved Ethiopia from European colonization, but it also paved the way for the decolonization of Africa. Her advice and action resulted in the defeat of the Italian army at the 1896 Battle of Adwa, a mighty European army defeat at the hands of Africans. Taytu strongly defended national interests by overcoming challenges both from within and from without. #confidante #loyal #wife #commander #brilliant #military #strategist #iikayaises #africa #victory #battleofadwa #sunshine #selassiei #burnout #energy #ethiopiangirl #army #eastafricanqueen #celebrateafrica #habeshaculture #habeshabeauties #culture #africanbeauty #africanbeauties #konjo #defeateditaly #habeshaqueens #taytubetul #blacklions Photography: NayMarie - @iamnaymarie MUA: Kim Nicole of KNC Concepts - @kncconcepts Lip Color: Rubylipsllc - @rubylipsllc Graphics: Jah Reveal DeSigns (at Addis Ababa, Ethiopia)
