Tadias Magazine

We are pleased to introduce you to Tadias Magazine, the leading lifestyle and business publication devoted exclusively to the Ethiopian-American community in the United States. The word Tadias is a popular casual greeting among Ethiopians. It means “hi,” “what’s up?” or “how are you?”

Founded in January 2003, Tadias is an exciting gateway to one of the fastest-growing, most affluent, best-educated African immigrant population in the United States.

We serve as a bridge between America and Ethiopia.

Tadias is also a medium of communication for those who have academic, business, professional or personal interest in the Ethiopian-American community.

Most importantly, we highlight the success of Ethiopians in America!
