Watch Throwback Thursday

Meet Matteo. When he was nine, he loved Storm from X-men, drawing, and hanging out with the girls. One day on the playground, the boys cornered him and asked him why he was different, but he didn't have an answer.

Meet Malcolm. Imagine the summer with your best friend: bike rides, popsicles, choreography to B2K tracks. This is what Malcolm's life was like with his cousin, Jackie, until a phone call changed everything.

Meet Lindsey. On her fourteenth birthday, Lindsey watched a Lifetime movie about a woman who murders her husband. While watching, she felt something inside her shift. Her mind was in overdrive: What if I could kill somebody? What if I lose control? For months, these thoughts circled in her head. Was she really a monster or was it something else?

Meet Shayla. In high school, Shayla went to student council camp. Camp was the first time she was around a big group of white people. Camp was also where she met Sara. Sara and Shayla were a lot alike-bubbly, outgoing, ambitious. They became friends. That is, until something got in the way.

Meet Derrick the Dynamic. Enamored with David Copperfield's disappearance of the Statue of Liberty on live TV, he dreamt of being a Christian magician in Las Vegas. Then, war broke out.
