Selam, and welcome to my page! I’m Billion Temesghen...

a multilingual journalist, editor, and passionate storyteller from Eritrea. Whether I’m writing, editing, or anchoring, my mission is always the same: to be part of the storytelling process.

I feel privileged and honored to have been able to tell stories that matter—stories that shine a light on resilience, challenges, and dreams, particularly those of youth and women in Africa. For as long as I can remember, news has been at the center of my life.
