rochelle's Story
In 1997, I was the new girl in second grade. If you’ve ever been "the new kid", then you know exactly what I mean when I say I was terrified of being the newbie. The thoughts raced through my mind—What if they don’t like me? What if I don’t make any friends? What if I don’t have anyone to talk to? That year marked my fourth school in four years, and I was only in second grade. Each new school meant starting over. In the past, it didn’t take long to adjust, but this time was different. At first, everything felt familiar—curious questions about who I was, where I came from, and what my family was like—but once the questions stopped, I was still left feeling like I didn't make a single genuine connection with anyone. I quickly realized that everyone already had their groups, their friends, their people—but I didn't have my own. I tried to find my place, but the kids who were initially kind to me moved away, and the ones who stayed weren’t interested in making me their new friend. To my surprise, "newer" kids who transferred into the school after me somehow figured out what I couldn’t: how to fit in.
It was at this new school where I met rejection for the first time. Questions that once came from curiosity slowly turned into comments that made me feel ashamed. Why is your hair always messy? Why are your shoes old and dirty? Why did you bring cereal for lunch? (Yes, I brought cereal for lunch.) I got teased for everything that made me different, including the most unique thing about me—my name. They called me “roach” instead of Rochelle. And it hurt. I carried this heavy feeling of loneliness until I finally learned how to love who I was. I stopped trying to change my identity to be accepted, and I started owning it—flaws, beauty, quirks, and all. And you know what? That changed everything. Now, I use my story as a young girl who once felt invisible to help others find their voice. As an educator, author, and speaker, I empower youth to live authentically, walk in their purpose, and stop shrinking to fit into places they were never meant to belong.
