Who We Are
The name Makeda draws its inspiration from Queen Makeda, the legendary Queen of Sheba, celebrated for her extraordinary journey to Jerusalem to meet King Solomon. Her voyage was not driven by a thirst for power or riches, but by a profound desire for wisdom and understanding. This timeless pursuit has made her story a symbol of knowledge, curiosity, and cross cultural connection across generations.
