IDOR is happy to annouce its commitment to ensure female voices within the Ras Tafari movement are being heard. On November 2, 1930, H.I.H. Empress Menen was elevated to the status of Empress and Queen of Queens. Upon her elevation she continued to play her role as quiet yet tireless motivator of her people. She was well loved in Ethiopia as most of her work centered around strengthening the church and the children of Ethiopia. Her attention to the spiritual development of Ethiopia and protecting the future of Ethiopia’s most vunerable citizens- its children.

Through Empress Menen Heights, IDOR will invite various female (and sometimes male) writers to comment on issues of vital concern to and for Ras Tafari women.
