I look at the mirror that hung on the fridge, my makeup is caked and my hair…

For example when Theo and his siblings play a cultural game about their fathers before them, and with that Mamere was able to find Theo back in Sudan. Theo and his siblings in sudan have a certain way of living with their struggled life than they they did in America. They did not live such a privileged life with jobs and…
