Ennatu Domingo

(Ethiopia, 1996) debuted in 2022 with her biographical story Burnt Eucalyptus Wood: On Origins, Language and Identity. At age 7 she came to Barcelona as an adoptee but never forgot her early years in Ethiopia. Her book is full of loving memories yet also shows the socio-economic realities. She impressively depicts the search for connection that many adopted and migrant children know so well. After university studies in political science, international conflict and security, she completed internships at the International Crisis Group (ICG) in Nairobi and at the European Parliament in the field of relations between the European Union and African, Caribbean and Pacific countries. She currently works as a Policy Officer for the think tank European Center for Development Policy Management (ECDPM) in Maastricht.
