Julie grew up being teased by alot because of the colour of her skin. She was a beautiful dark skinned girl but people always teased calling her “mnyaman” which means Darky. She felt so uncomfortable in her own skin colour and wished that she could change it and make herself to look like or less dark like other people.

She was preparing to go to her new school she was scared and frightened because she’s meeting new people and she doesn’t know how much bad they are going to be towards her. She left home and went to school when she got there she could see and feel that everyone was staring at her she felt so uncomfortable and always stayed at her own corner where not everyone would notice her.  

People mocked her and made fun of her they even took pictures of her and turned her to a meme. She wanted to leave to New school but she couldn’t because fee’s for the whole year has been paid and the school doesn’t give a refund. She told herself that she’ll be strong until the end of the year. Until one day she met a very kind girl in one of her class she could see that everyone was mocking her and she decided to go to start a conversation with her so that she can become friends with her. They got to know each other and she started to feel comfortable towards her friend. Her friend made her to be comfortable kept her distructed from all the teasing at school.

Julie was still uncomfortable because back home she wasn’t free enough because of the other kids.

Even though that was the case the was always focus school she made sure that she’s going to study until she becomes something in life. Julie friend from school tried by all means to make her feel comfortable and to make her see how valuable her skin colour is. She even risked and used to send her pictures of models that are the same colour as her hoping that will atleast make her less worried about how she looked. Julie started to feel confidence in herself the pictures were very helpful and boosted her confidence.

She is now proud of who she is and is happy with her skin colour even if people tease her she is proud, her friend has been there for all and she has found a true and supportive one.
