ife can be hard for the only brown girl in a classroom full of white students. When the teacher talks about slavery, she can feel all of her classmates staring at her. When they talk about civil rights, she is the one that other kids whisper about on the playground. In those moments, she wants to slip away or seep into the ground, and she wonders, “Is that all you see when you look at me?” What really matters is what she sees when she looks at herself. She is a reflection of the courage, strength, intelligence, and creativity that’s been passed down from generation to generation through her ancestors.
