Two very gorgeous Ethiopian women, both identical twins- (Try tell them apart if you can). They both attended medical school, became doctors, and decided to start their clinic in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
We present Dr. Jerusalem Getahun Tessema, and Dr. Kalkidan Gatahun Tessema. They both trained at Hawassa University Referral Hospital, and Hayat Medical College.
Their passion and eagerness to serve their community is unrivaled. They have found a way to mesh medical, social and psychological well-being, while also combining core traditional values with medical practices.
What makes them even more beloved is their constant ability to establish good rapport, caring, very sensitive approach, and finding ways to ensure that their patients are involved in their management plan.
Their goal is always to build and sustain a great relationship with their patients and community as a whole. They have other doctors and nurses and laboratory technicians in staff as well.
We had a chance to chat with these smart and very gorgeous women.
(This is what they had to say)
'We are not just identical twins; we are also very when it comes to character. Sometimes it is telepathic; for instance, we both dreamt the same dream while we were asleep one night. (Strange and very interesting lives of Identical twins).
When we believe in a thing, we are both very committed, determined, and decisive. However, Dr Jerusalem is more of a risk-taker and adventurous, while Dr. Kalkidan is more sociable and friendly.
In addition to practicing medicine, we also write about health. We have articles published every week in Addis Zemen Newspapers. We are the owners and CEO of Twins Medical Clinic, a private clinic where we practice medicine. Additionally, we are the founders of the Twins and Multiple Birth Association of Ethiopia, which is one of its kind in the country. We are also philanthropists and serve as ambassadors for several charity organizations.'
This is no ordinary clinic -but complete with state of the art modern equipment. It is one unit where several services can be performed all under one facility; be it imaging or blood test, another very interesting things is both doctors see each patients at the same time.
Twins medical clinic offers services in minor surgery, obstetrics, gynecology, pediatric, family planning, and internal medicine. Though located in Addis Ababa, their reach go way beyond their locale.
Clinic is located behind Enyi Estate, Bole Bulbula, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.

Tope Awotona was born into a comfortable family in Lagos, Nigeria. His father, though a microbiologist, was an entrepreneur, while his mom worked for the central bank of Nigeria.
Tragedy struck when at 12 years, he saw his father gunned to death by carjackers....an experience that would forever change the direction of his life., because in 1996, his mom sent him and his siblings to Georgia in the United States. After graduating from high school, he attended the University of Georgia, where he studied Management Information Systems.
Tope worked in sales for a few companies but ultimately he knew he wanted to be an entrepreneur just like his dad was. He started a few businesses that did not really make the impact he wanted until he decided it was better to do things differently. More than just trying to make money, he needed to create an answer to an existing problem.
He saw how frustrating it was to set up business meetings and how the existing programs where highly ineffective and outdated.
In 2013, that opportunity presented itself when he launched 'Calendly' in Atlanta, Georgia. Calendly is a software company used to develop business communication and schedule meetings. In other words, it is a cloud-based scheduling platform that helps users schedule meetings and appointments:
Users basically share a Calendly link to their calendar, which allows invitees to view their availability and select a time. Calendly automatically adds the meeting to the user's calendar and sends confirmation emails to both the host and invitee.
He was so determined and full of conviction that this would succeed, he maxed out his credit cards, used up his entire life savings, and even withdrew money from his 401k.
Tope was undeterred and defiant against all the obstacles that came his way especially starting out without investors.
This journey took longer than he anticipated but he persevered for about eight years until
slowly Calendly started to get noticed and attractive to investors. Then it happened in 2014, when his company got $550,000 in funding from Atlanta Ventures.
By 2023, Calendly raised $350 million in funding. The platform now has over $10 million users.
Calendly is currently valued at $3 billion.

'Hi, I’m Marion! I’m a professional model, content creator, and mentor for aspiring models. My mission is to inspire and empower others to pursue their dreams, build confidence, and unlock their full potential.
Born in Sierra Leone but was raised in Switzerland from the age of seven.
I had to navigate life as an immigrant girl integrating into a predominantly Caucasian country. Losing my mother at a young age, I grew up as an orphan until I was adopted by my loving Swiss father, who gave me the stability and support I needed to thrive. Despite a challenging childhood, I found resilience and purpose through modeling.
At 19, I began my modeling journey, and by 21, I had won my first beauty pageant- Miss Northwest Switzerland. I went on to become the first Black woman to be the runner-up on Switzerland’s Next Top Model, an achievement that paved the way for my recognition as a rising star in the influencer world in 2022'.
'My journey took an exciting turn when I moved to Dubai, a place that fueled my passion for entrepreneurship. Immersed in a culture of ambition and innovation, I built a network of inspiring individuals and returned to Switzerland, where I dedicated myself to empowering other models through mentorship and academic teachings
In 2024, I achieved two major milestones: publishing my first book and launching my own company and small business. Today, I continue to inspire others to invest in themselves, embrace their uniqueness, and chase their goals with unwavering confidence.
During the pandemic, I traveled to Sierra Leone after spending nearly a year in America. While in Sierra Leone, I dedicated my time to charity work, an experience that deepened my passion for helping children.'
'My dream is to establish a childcare center that provides orphaned children with the care and support they need to thrive. Although this goal requires significant resources, I am actively working toward making it a reality.
My background in nursing, which I studied in Switzerland, has given me a unique perspective. It was the first time in my life that I began to see the world through a medical lens, and it greatly influenced how I approach challenges and care for others. This foundation continues to inspire my mission to make a meaningful impact in the lives of those in need.
Being biracial has given me the unique opportunity to experience and embrace two different worlds, cultures, and perspectives. It’s a beautiful journey of connection and learning, but it’s not without its challenges'
' Growing up in a place that wasn’t always fair to people of color, I couldn’t ignore the subtle and sometimes overt biases and struggles we face.
Switzerland, while creatively enriching, didn’t always offer me the opportunities or recognition I truly deserved. Looking back, I realize that part of that was my own hesitation to take bigger risks.
I wish I had moved to New York earlier, trusting in my abilities rather than letting fear of failure hold me back.
However, every experience, good or bad, has shaped the person I am today.
I’ve learned that growth comes from stepping outside your comfort zone and owning your worth, no matter where you are.
You asked if I turn heads? Yes, I do turn heads when I walk, and I’m proud of it haha! '
'These days, I’ve become more selective about the photographers I work with. It’s not about being unapproachable, but about valuing my time and focusing on meaningful opportunities.
In New York, I landed the opportunity to grace the front cover of their Fashion magazine.
I have done a collaboration with H&M....that was very exciting. It was one of a kind. The production, the team, the set – everything was just spot on.
I was part of the 'Women Leaders' of the World event and spoke on Stage......what a moment of pure excitement and humility. The event was filled with some individuals who are shaping the world in remarkable ways.'

THIS IS AFRICA:
HER PULSE! HER RYTHMN! HER PEOPLE!
"Rebeca Omordia is not your regular pianist, she is like a piano whisperer-if there is any such thing.... or it is like she tames the keys and commands them in ways few people can. She touches them and they make unbelievable sounds. When you watch her perform, you could hear a pin drop in the audience; she has a way with the keys that leaves everyone completely absorbed. It is like she has a secret language with the keys and they communicate back and forth.
Rebeca Omordia was born in Romania to a Romanian mother, and a Nigerian father.
She said she started learning the piano professionally when she was only seven years old, because in her words: ' I went to a specialist music school and was trained to be a pianist right from the beginning. From the beginning, she took part in competitions, performed in concerts and even appeared on national television.'
( That is an extra-ordinary talent).
She graduated from the National Music University in Bucharest and was later awarded full scholarship to study at Birmingham Conservatoire and later at Trinity College of Music in London.
Rebeca holds a Doctorate degree in music from the University of Music in Bucharest, Romania.
Rebeca Omordia is an award winning pianist, composer, a talented arranger. interpreter, soloist, chamber musician, recording artist and artistic director. The Birmingham Post described her as “a pianist willing to take risks” and some people said she changed the face of classical music.
Rebeca describes herself as a promoter of Nigerian classical music.
She has toured Nigeria as a soloist with MUSON Symphony Orchestra in Lagos and Abuja, and she also has solo albums "EKELE" (Heritage Records) and "African Pianism" (SOMM Records) featuring the piano music by some African composers.
The Nigerian Guardian described her as the 'pianist who cast a spell on Lagos"
In 2019, she launched the world's first ever African Concert Series- London; a series of monthly concerts featuring music by African classical composers.
She won the 'Beethoven Prize', Romania 2007 and Bela Bartók International Piano Competition, Hungary 2010, She was also awarded the Delius Prize in 2009, which led to an extensive collaboration with the cellist -Julian Lloyd Webber. They both toured the UK, performing in renowned venues including the Wigmore Hall and Kings Place in London-at Highgrove for the Prince’s Trust and they made several live broadcasts for BBC Radio.
Rebeca has a way with arrangement; her arrangement of “The Seal Lullaby” by Grammy-winning composer, Eric Whitacre, for cello and harp, was released on Deutsche Gramophone. She has performed with many world-renowned artists such as Amy Dickson, Raphael Wallfisch, Răzvan Suma and Jiaxin Lloyd Webber. Rebeca’s recording with Mark Bebbington- “The Piano Music of Ralph Vaughan Williams” reached No. 3 in the UK Classical Music Chart.
Rebeca Omordia was a jury member in the 13th HRH -Princess Lalla Meryem International Piano Competition in Rabat, Morocco.
She was awarded the Honorary Membership Award from Royal Birmingham Conservatoire for her services to music.
The world is all ears and we know we have not seen the last of this music maestro.
Her jewelry line gives women a sense of Class, Style, and an aura of Confidence.
Hollywood actress, Rose McGowan once wore her bracelet on the cover of PRESTIGE magazine; that is all you need to know.
We present gorgeous Annerose Muyombano, the creator of Muyombano jewelries.
This from when she took some time off to chat with us:
''I was born in Burundi, East Africa, but we moved to Germany when I was 6 years old.
''I grew up in the south of Germany close to a city famous for its jewelry production. I modeled for many jewelry designers and loved the way the diamonds made me feel. The region is also known for beautiful cars; Mercedes Benz (where I did a long internship) and Porsche, so I learned to appreciate the perfect German craftsmanship at an early age. On the other hand, I admire how African women adorn themselves to emphasize their individual beauty''.
''My goal is to combine both worlds - create perfectly crafted pieces in partly industrial material -but with an African touch. I want both worlds to see themselves in the pieces I create. Let me give you an example.
When I wear the PURE collection in Germany I am told, 'The pieces are very African' - bold, expressive, strong. Then when I wear the collection in Rwanda, people admire the impeccable manufacturing and minimalistic design. They say “Must be German”. I am very happy to get this kind of feedback.
More than perhaps any other accessory, jewelry is really much a statement of quality as anything else.....I say this because unlike other things, clothes, shoes, scarves, hats, etc., a favorite piece of jewelry might be as much a part of our physical presence as our nose and ears in many cases. In this way, jewelry becomes part of our journey as human beings, whereas the clothes we wear might be linked more to specific destinations: the dress we wear on our wedding day, the hat we bought for the trip to a specific city, for instance. This is the impact I would like Muyombano to have on our customers; to be part of their very being''.
''I want to create pieces that make my customers feel confident;- confident to be different, express themselves and embrace their uniqueness.
I want the jewelry to do the communication for my customers. I want people to see that the woman wearing a particular Muyombano ring, necklace etc. is no ordinary woman; that there must be something special about this person and her character- for choosing a particular piece. The jewelry creates curiosity and one thing will be clear to the observer; the woman wearing a Muyombano jewelry is anything but boring!
At the very beginning I was lucky to get in contact with LUMINAIRE - a pioneering force in the design world - and they included my first collection during their ART BASEL Miami presentation. For me this was a sign that I was on the right track in terms of design and product quality. Also showcasing and selling in Japan and New York or during Fashion Week in Berlin gave me the confidence that women out there positively respond to my designs. I mean even Rose McGowan (most people will know her from her role in the tv show 'Charmed'] wore the PURE bracelet on the cover of PRESTIGE Magazine. That was a major surprise''.
''I always admired strong and exceptional women and my creations are supposed to highlight their uniqueness in many different ways.
I wanted to give women limitless opportunities to be themselves.
Another step was to launch the collections designed by Monica Armani www.monica-armani.com and Tomoya Tabuchi www.officeforcreation.jp for MUYOMBANO Jewelry. I feel honored that these amazing artists agreed to work with me.
What I have learned is that my jewelry is not mainstream and not for the mass market but rather for artists, brave and confident women.
My work was supposed to have a deeper meaning. Creating jewelry wasn’t about doing something cute, it was about creating a platform to support others build a self-determined future.'
They can find us on all social media platforms. I am active on Instagram;'' Website is undergoing major reconstruction: muyombano.com
'This quote from her website sums it all up:
''Crafting jewelry was my medium for articulating the driving forces behind my daily endeavors: an unwavering commitment to the highest standards and quality, a celebration of beauty, and a resolute dedication to sustainability.
By combining minimalistic & contemporary design, ethnic shapes, colors and cultures while focusing on perfect craftsmanship and the best materials, I create a specific twist in my designs that lead to outstanding pieces.
My collection reflects my vision; to blend cultures, transcend boundaries and create timeless pieces that resonate with essence of elegance and purity.''

BronzePage was created to rebuff & refute the wrong narrative that Africa is nothing but safaris, wars & famine. How unfortunate.
