About this Event

Dinknesh is an award event that is celebrated annually in March in commemoration of the International Women’s Day. The Amharic word ‘Dinknesh’ roughly translates to ‘phenomenal’. The main objective of the event is to inspire and empower Ethiopian and Ethiopian American women. The event aims to create a platform where unsung Ethiopian and Ethiopian American heroines of high academic, professional, business and community service achievements are recognized. Special focus is given to women who come from marginalized and/or minority communities who have had limited opportunities but have made a difference in their own lives and that of their community’s by overcoming various challenges. We believe that such an event to celebrate womanhood and achievement is very important to strengthen the sense of belongingness and purpose. It creates an opportunity for the women to share their stories and inspire others. It is an occasion where their past and current achievements are recognized and celebrated.
