Nula Gooderson

“Does everyone look like penguins in England?” A teen asked during a tutoring session at Washington D.C. Charter School. Nula’s initial chortle to their question from their Mary Poppins’ insight into life in Britain, was met with the reality of what was unsaid. Curious to the whimsical perception of the UK they had seen on the shared TV on site, her naivety was compounded by the willed escapism and limited resources growing up in the impoverished South-East district. In exchange for how they enriched her study abroad experience, she was compelled to add to their picture of the UK.
