The original recordings of Amha Selassie telling his story, in his own voice.
These recordings were made in Potomac, Maryland between November 2022 and May 2025. They are presented here in full, unedited. The written story on this site is drawn from these sessions, edited for clarity but never for character.
To hear the pauses, the laughter, the weight of certain silences — listen here.
