My name is Mahlet Teklemariam, born in Addis Ababa Ethiopia but grew up in New York. Studied Marketing and Business Management. I moved back to Ethiopia in 2008, and currently I am the founder and organizer of Hub of Africa Fashion Week in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia since 2010 which has revolutionized the fashion industry in Ethiopia and beyond. We have positioned HAFW as a platform for advocating for eco-conscious practices within the fashion industry.
