I plan to go to Spelman when I'm older and I won't let anything get in the way of it. I live with my parents and my two older brothers Isaiah and Josiah. They make sure that I want for nothing and that I get treated how they feel i should. I don't live in a mansion, but i don't live in a bad neighborhood either, We're an average middle-classed family. At this point boys are not really on my mind, I have more important things to worry about. I'm obviously dark and i love it, I never have, or will be ashamed of who i am. It's just me... Its Melanin.
