“This picture shows that even within the darkest days there is still light. I know throughout these times people can feel down and sad but to feel happy you must feel some type of sadness. Throughout the world there are always bad and good days. Past and Present.”

“My name is Beamlak Tesfaye. I am 15 and I am going to 10th grade. I am passionate about soccer, I think if I play hard enough I can make it to the pros. So far I do not know what i’m fighting for but I know I want to be the first Ethiopian pro soccer player. I want to become someone who speaks up for racism with sports.”
