I'm Imani. Some
people think I'm kind of stuck-up. But I'm really not. I just
think school is very important. I plan to be a doctor and an
engineer when I grow up-like Mae
C. Jemison So I don't have time to play around.
Space boy Kwame and his friend, Manny, think I don't like them,
but they're actually kind of cool. Just don't ever let them know
I said that!
I'm Big Tito. I'm bigger than most
of the other kids because I had to repeat 5th grade. But now
that I've hooked up with Kwame and Manny, they're going to help
me study to get my grades back up. I do not plan to repeat 5th
grade again. Believe it or not, these guys have taught me how
fun learning can really be. Especially science!
I am Komo,
the great wizard. Although my magic is powerful, I have not yet
been able to find a way to steal-- I mean, borrow--the other
half of Nia's magic medallion. If Nia would kindly hand over her
half of the medallion, I would gladly let her parents go. Once I
have both pieces, I WILL HAVE ALL OF THE KNOWLEDGE IN THE
UNIVERSE! Of course, I am planning to do good things with it
as long as everyone does as I say!!!!
We are Nia's parents, Jamal and
Farajah. We know our daughter is safe because Funzi the Fuzzwuzz
is their to protect her, and she has the power of the Imhotep
medallion. Once she returns, we will see to it that the evil
Komo pays for his dirty deeds. Then we can return to our lives
to help ensure that the city of Timbuktu continues to thrive as
a place of learning and commerce.
I am Imhotep,
philosoper, poet, astronomer, sage, scribe, architect and
physician. Some even call me the father of medicine. I consider
myself to be an engineer, having designed the first great step
pyramid of ancient Kemet during the rule of King Djoser
of the Third
Dynasty. Unlike the other main characters in Tell Me Who
I Am, I am a real person. So don't get the real me mixed up
with the character. I didn't create a timeship in real life, but
it sure was fun doing it for Tell Me Who I Am.
