Welcome!

My name is Lina and I am from Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. I run a social enterprise that aims to bring digital education to Ethiopian students. Learn more about it at www.educationforethiopia.org.

My journey started as I wrote the first book in the world that helps Amharic (Ethiopia’s lingua franca) speakers learn Mandarin Chinese. Many people in my country were happy to have access to educational materials in local languages so I set out to make that widely accessible.

Like many students in developing countries, Ethiopian pupils work as well as attend school. If they miss school for whatever reason, especially their science and math classes, they may never catch up. Digitized content will meet them where they left off.

Previously, I wrote about Africa-China relations. Having lived in China for about a decade, I wanted to share with my audience how China and Africa are shaping the world. I have a book series called “The Complete Beginner’s Guide to China-Africa Relations.”

If you read all that, we should probably talk. Send me a message or add me on LinkedIn below.

Dalu Media

is my self-publishing team.

A small team with BIG dreams.

Dalu Media is simply the name of my self-publishing team. It consists of me, my husband, Nathan, and freelancing designers who pop in and out depending on the project.

I am a “jane of all trades” and my hope is to not only continue publishing my own content but also help other budding authors birth their work. Perhaps one day this tiny team will publish exciting books from all over the world…and we are especially passionate about content that builds bridges.
