In a fast-paced world where weekends often blur into the demands of the week, Tigist Woldeab has created a serene ritual that reminds her audience of the beauty of slowing down. Through her signature content series “Ehudye” — which means “My Sunday” in Amharic — the TV host, lifestyle content creator, and commercial model has redefined what self-care and cultural pride can look like in the modern Ethiopian home.

Each Sunday, Tigist transforms her home into a peaceful sanctuary. Her videos blend the gentle aroma of Ethiopian coffee with soulful Amharic jazz, evoking nostalgia and calm. From setting her table with traditional woven baskets to adorning herself in elegant Ethiopian-inspired attire, Tigist’s “Ehudye” episodes are more than lifestyle content — they are celebrations of heritage, artistry, and mindfulness.

 

Her attention to detail stands out: fresh flowers, curated home décor, and the rhythmic sound of coffee beans roasting all weave together to create an atmosphere of gratitude and reflection. Viewers don’t just watch; they feel the peace that radiates from her quiet rituals.

Beyond aesthetics, Tigist’s message is simple yet profound — take time for yourself, honor your culture, and make beauty part of your everyday life. This philosophy has inspired thousands of her followers to embrace intentional living and rediscover the joy of Ethiopian traditions in a modern setting.

With every cup of coffee she brews and every jazz record she spins, Tigist Woldeab continues to influence a generation seeking balance — proving that elegance, culture, and mindfulness can coexist beautifully in our everyday routines.

But Tigist’s creative journey doesn’t stop there. On TikTok, she brings a different kind of exploration to life through her series “እግር ጥሎኝ (Eger Telogn)”, which translates to “ by chance" or "coincidentally." It literally translates to something like "my foot dropped me”.In these videos, she travels across cities and markets, uncovering Ethiopia’s hidden gems — from antique treasures to handmade crafts that carry stories of generations.

Her curiosity and respect for craftsmanship shine through as she shares the history, artistry, and personal narratives behind each item. Whether it’s a woven basket, a vintage coffee pot, or a piece of traditional jewelry, Tigist celebrates the creators behind them and preserves the value of Ethiopia’s cultural legacy.

Together, “Ehudye” and “Eger Telogn” showcase two sides of Tigist Woldeab’s creative spirit: the peaceful elegance of home and the adventurous discovery of culture. Her work not only entertains but also inspires her audience to live intentionally — to find beauty in stillness and meaning in tradition.
