How the Marco event fits into my life...

In Oct. 2015, a poster promoting Opal Tometi (one of the founders of the #BlackLivesMatter movement was defaced on my campus. To be specific a person had taken a pen and scraped out Opal Tometi's face, crossed out Black and wrote All so that the poster now read
"All Lives Matter."

I am currently a teacher at a charter school. The event that I along is directly related to my ancestors because the historical position of people of color is what gears the attack and devalue of black bodies by those in power.

I have a pretty chunky nose, dark brown eyes and freckles that hide on the sides of my nose. Those are all genetic traits that come from my father. I have my mother's round eyes, plump lips and thick brown hair. Growing up everyone told me I was built like my father's side of the family, "big boned" is what they'd describe my body type as but as I grew older I slimmed up and developed curves that resembled those of my maternal grandmother's family.

I have of course grown older. My hair has grown, my freckles have come in around my nose and badby fat has now found its respective places to store and settle as stubborn fat. I am taller, my voice is a bit less sweet, although still fairly soft.

I am no longer chubby, my curves have set in and I am average height for a women. My skin has marks left by my teenage and early adolescent years. I have also developed moles around my body which comes from my mother. I hope to look like my mother in the future. She has very few wrinkles and still maintains her built.

My 2 brothers and I all look alike. However, one is fairly dark skin and resembles my grandfather. Both of my parents have my caramel skin tone but I would argue that a lot of my dominant genes favor my father. Oddly, my parents do resemble each other but phenotypical I have grown to have my mother's eyes, lips but the rest of my dominant features resonate with my father's genetic makeup. I have his nose, smile, dimples, head shape, and figure. I even have a wrinkle in my forehead just like he does. My brother's also have these same paternal characteristics as well as their kids.

I don't know what my ancestors look like but I'd assume that they looked like the woman above. All different shades of brown. Caramel, chocolate and golden like honey. I would guess that their nose would be chunky like mine and round like my mothers. My paternal grandmother has freckles and is fairly light skin so I predict that some of my ancestors are also fairly skinned with freckles.

Thinking about what I hope to look like in the future makes me motivated to make better lifestyle decisions. I know that in order to serve, I have to be my best selves and I cannot do that if I am not taking care of my body and being comfortable in the body that I have.
