Abstract
This paper is a counterstory of events, experiences, and perceptions of the researcher and participants that have been developed into a single composite memoir of one Black family’s experiences in Hawaii and the public school system. The people in the story are not real but instead composites and are an intentional and exaggerated blending of people and places. The data is presented in an exaggerated manner, in which two siblings have a number of experiences with racism and military transience.
