Greetings my name is Bogalech Akerbergn Debaye Elmore and I am from Ethiopia the the land of culture and history. My culture, history and background are 100% African and I love African culture, art and history. I also love cooking.
My family in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia and myself are traditional Ethiopian weavers of Shama cloth. I have a tremendous love for African culture history and tradition and I am pleased to join Elmore African Imports as an African designer, sales consultant and wife of Anthony “Amp” Elmore.
In addition to my background in Ethiopian traditional cloth weaving I am becoming expert in Ethiopian leather and the design and manufacturing many African products. I recently spent two months in West Africa learning their techniques of African art, clothing and furniture making. I am an expert Ethiopian cook and I make the traditional Ethiopian beer.
