"You can definitely do better than that," Mistress Mariam Tilahun said haughtily as she looked down at her latest submissive. The bodacious Ethiopian Muslim dominatrix stood five-foot-eleven, curvy and sexy, with medium brown skin, and a sturdy build. Her slightly angular, continuously animated and quite pretty face was framed by a dark blue Hijab, and her lively, almond-shaped brown eyes were decidedly full of mischief. Hands on her wide hips, Mistress Mariam Tilahun was the picture of female dominance, and she knew it...
Clad in a Doka Golden Habesha-style blue and White dress, Mariam Tilahun looked nothing short of amazing. The modern Ethiopian woman in all of her glory. Sitting on a throne-like chair in the living room of her townhouse located in Addis Ababa's opulent west end, Mistress Tilahun got an inkling of what the legendary Queen of Sheba, sacred to all Ethiopians regardless of faith or background, must have felt like as a woman who wielded great power over men. In this private den of iniquity, her word was law.
"Yes ma'am," replied her latest submissive, a six-foot-tall, burly and muscular young Jamaican guy by the name of Malik Jacobson. Born in the City of Kingston, Jamaica, and raised in the City of Toronto, Ontario, Malik Jacobson was quite interesting. A University of Toronto graduate student who was spending a year studying abroad at Addis Ababa University. Definitely not the sort of man that would ordinarily be found in a place like the City of Addis Ababa, that's for damn sure. Most expats in the Ethiopian Capital came from Europe or the Arab world...
A former Rastafarian and Emperor Haile Selassie enthusiast who recently embraced Islam, Malik Jacobson came to the City of Addis Ababa to visit the homeland of his idol. Lots of Jamaicans and other Afro-Caribbean people were drawn to the mysterious land of Ethiopia, and a few even settled there. While saying in Addis, Malik came across one unforgettable lady at one of the Ethiopian Capital's elite nightclubs. It was an encounter that would forever change Malik's life...
"Good to hear, Malik, I'm going to show me the true strength of a woman," Mistress Tilahun said, and then she cocked an eyebrow and nudged Malik with her foot. The Jamaican stud hesitated for all of two seconds, and then pressed his lips to his dominant's lovely feet. Mistress Tilahun smiled as Malik began sucking her toes, one at a time. Obedience from those around her, that's what turned her on most of all...
Ever since Mariam Tilahun could remember, she'd always been domineering in her interactions with others. Always on a search for the upper hand. Growing up as a young Muslim woman in the Capital of Ethiopia, a land torn between tradition and modernity, where there were constant clashes between the fragile Christian majority and the fast-rising Muslim minority was definitely no picnic for Mariam Tilahun...
In the land of Ethiopia, a woman's place was always subject of debate, among both Orthodox Christians and Sunni Muslims. As Ethiopia entered modern times and embraced democracy after centuries spent under the rule of absolute monarchies, That's why Mariam learned to learn other people's weaknesses, especially their secret desires, and use them against them.
Mariam Tilahun's studies about dominance, submission, sex and the secrets of human desire lead her to the world of BDSM. For a woman living in the Horn of Africa, a land steeped in patriarchal tradition, the discovery of BDSM, a world where female dominance and male submission were very much a fact of life, was nothing short of miraculous. Mariam Tilahun learned all she could of BDSM, and embraced her identity as a dominant. Henceforth, life wouldn't be the same for many men living in the City of Addis Ababa.
