Fellata woman · Gambela Region, Ethiopia
The Fellata are members of a pastoral and nomadic people that are traditionally cattle herders and of Muslim faith.
They travel on donkeys and camels with their long horned cattle from Sudan into Gambela for grazing, and occasionally also sell their cattle there, although this practice is not well liked by the local authorities. It is said that the Fellata have a very special relationship with their cattle, and that after some sales the cows "just wandered back" to their previous owners.
Women often spot facial scarifications, they like to adorn themselves with colorful beaded necklaces and metal arm bands and are mostly seen with colorful clothing.
The Fellata are part of the Fula people that originated in Nigeria and are dispersed across the Sahel region to Sudan. They are known by different names (and spellings) - Fula, Fulah, Fulani, Fulba, Fulde and Fulfulde. The Fellata that originate from Sudan are also known as Fallatah or Fallata and have Kanuri origins.

Managed to set up a photoshoot with Jasmine for my drive home from Madison. A jogger probably saw her in her underthings. Oops.
Random fun discovery: I very much enjoy eating sunflower seeds while driving. So that's gonna be my new thing until I get sick of 'em. I spent three days happily munching on the bag I got at the truck stop on Friday; I just bought a larger bag from the grocery store to happily munch on for the next few days.
