Beleni arrived to the United States in December 2012, after fleeing Ethiopia. She lived in Sudan for several years and was able to relocate to America due to a petition filed by her US-citizen father.
Because she was immigrating as the daughter of a US Citizen, she had to leave her infant child under the care of her aunt. In April 2015, her daughter arrived to the United States, and on May, 24, 2018, with the support of Catholic Charities Jacksonville - Immigration Legal Services, Beleni became a US Citizen.
