The Ethiopian
Influencer Awards (USA)
The Bridge Between Tradition and Digital Innovation.
Global Platform
We are the premier global platform dedicated to honoring the excellence, creativity, and social impact of Ethiopian digital creators. Based in the United States, we serve as a prestigious bridge, connecting the vibrant talent of the homeland with the vast diaspora community across North America and beyond.
Our Origin Story
The idea was born from a simple observation: Ethiopian content creators are the modern-day storytellers of our generation. Despite their massive contribution to economy and culture, there was no centralized global stage to celebrate them.
We stepped in to fill that gap, opening doors to international media and the powerful Ethiopian-American business network.
Our Core Pillars
Excellence
We look at substance, not just numbers. High production quality, consistency, and positive influence.
Preservation
Celebrating those who keep the diaspora connected to Amharic, Oromo, Tigrinya, and our rich traditions.
Empowerment
Fostering an ecosystem where influence turns into industry, helping creators monetize sustainably.
