I am a Scientist! I don't carry around a beaker or a calculator I dig in the dirt and watch things grow I strive to make a difference I see a need, a cry for help I am a black scientist. I do not waer glasses and I have invented several cures. I educate I Innervate I influence the lives of many students and I am from Africa.
