Natalie Tesfaye

    By @Carson_Macynski
    I was born in 2005. I grew up in Edmond Oklahoma. I'm half African and half Asian thanks to some multicultural mixing among my family. COVID-19 struck at the end of my 7th grade year. Even though I was upset with George Floyd being killed, I still felt sorry for Tou Thao, the Hmong officer on the scene that day. I'm currently a college freshman at Truman State University.
