When Nyakim Gatwech finally joined the middle school in Buffalo, she had to learn English properly. Since she had the issue of a language barrier, it was difficult, however, she could tell the comments and abuse they threw at her. “You’re black as hell. Take a shower,” teased the kids. If teachers asked the students, they would answer, “We can’t see her. She’s not here. Smile so we can see you, Nyakim.”
