"But Aaliyah, you're not just 'pretty for a dark skin girl'. You're so much more than that."
Aaliyah is just your normal involved high schooler. But it doesn't seem that way to everyone else. Colorism wreaks havoc on A.J. Middelton High, and she just can't get a break.
From 'blackie' to 'monkey' to 'slave' , you name it, they've said it.

Mahogany Doll
(COMPLETED) "What... do I make you nervous your honour?" He asks into my ear, his tone enough to make my stomach flutter. "I'm not a judge yet, you heathen" I giggle. He gets impossibly closer. "Yeah I know. But you will be. We both will. M'kay?" *** Aaliyah Oriento-Miller. A sharp witted, but introverted lawyer. Aged 28, she knows what she wants and nothing will stand in her way. In her head, feelings only get in the way and 'premature' commitment breeds lack of productivity. In contrast, fellow lawyer and best friend Elian Deogene, age 28, is loud, extroverted and animated. He has no problem showing his feelings. Commitment is a show of strength and unity. Often nicknamed the 'mahogany doll' for remaining expressionless, will Aaliyah learn how to crack the mask?Complete
