By analyzing YouTube vlogs, TikTok challenges, streaming series (e.g., Yegna , Satenaw ), and diaspora-produced reality-style content, this study examines how video media functions as a site of cultural preservation, generational conflict, commercial aspiration, and transnational identity formation. Drawing on theories of mediatization, diasporic public spheres, and Afrocentric digital ethnography, the paper concludes that Habesha video entertainment is not merely reflective of lifestyle but performatively constitutive of a new, globally distributed "Habeshaness."
