History is full of stories of brave people standing against racism and bullying. Brandon has written a fictional personal history of the character "Mohammed Bombali" :
Speak Out
I should begin this story at the beginning, because it is the best place to start.
My name is Mohammed Bombali, people laugh at me because of my skin colour and the "funny turban" on my head.
They are very racist to me and are very blasphemous about Allah.
All I live for is racist comments and blasphemes; "Nice hat, black boy!" and "The yak was Sikh, it worships Allah!"
One day in class (6KR), I jumped up from my table and kicked my chair out of my way.
"I must speak out!" I cried, people at the back sniggered. "I am very proud of my turban and of my religion, I care to be mocked about your blasphemous comments and racism! It ends now!"
I felt exhilarated, empowered, I had spoken out, never would I be bullied again.
Ever.
