A quiet, awkward, and nervous, MIXED-RACE (Black and White) middle schooler trying to figure out where he fits in an unfamiliar environment. He has a white mom from Spokane, Washington, and an African father from The Ivory Coast. Unless he's focused on something, he's never really sure what to do with his hands. His "comfort-zone" is uncomfortable, so to speak.
