Sehin Belew

Sehin Belew was born and raised in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, during the reign of Haile Selassie, the country's last emperor. In 1974, Ethiopia experienced political chaos, but it was a devastating famine the same year that prompted Sehin, a high school student at the time, to spend two years as a volunteer with the Society of International Missionaries (SIM), an international aid group. She helped feed thousands of starving people, an experience that profoundly changed her life.

Sehin is very dedicated about creating awareness on the subject of hunger and the lack of basic human rights in developing countries. She speaks on these issues and organizes events to raise funds for the less fortunate.

Sehin moved to the United States in 1978 to attend college. After graduating with honors with a degree in Business Administration, she spent the first five years working fulltime with the homeless in Bloomington, Ill. She also worked for 10 years as a professional model and was crowned Miss Ethiopia in 1988--the first to be crowned in 20 years! Pageant officials had to locate Miss Ethiopia of 1968 and fly her from Germany to Washington, DC to crown Sehin. This was a very historical moment as she was the thread to connect a 20-year gap in Ethiopian beauty pageantry.

Sehin lives in northern California and runs her own business, Sehin Belew. Sehin has been featured on over two-dozen television, radio, magazine and newspaper including CBN Voice of America to discuss her book, Fabulous for Less, Former Miss Ethiopia's Smart Guide to Beauty, Health, and Fashion. She provides image and style consultations as well as seminars on how to look Fabulous for Less. She is a most-sought after speaker on the topic of confidence and self image.
