*Who could forget the face of that cute little brown boy who made history as he stood next to president Barack Obama, as he signed the Affordable Care Act (ObamaCare) Â into law at the White House.
Marcelas Owens can.
At the time he was 11-years-old. It was March 23, 2010 . And he was a chubby little African American boy.
CNN describes him as “the miniature health care activist in the black vest dwarfed by powerful lawmakers in a famous photo of that moment. He was a modern-day Peter Pan, perpetually frozen in childhood even as the news cycle moved on.”
But no more. Â Today, at 17, when most teens are going through vast tubes of clearisil to get rid of those nagging pimples; Marcelas is faced with the challenge of being transgender, and all that it entails.
“I’m going through a reinvention process,” she says. “I’m growing into adulthood. I’m not the Obamacare kid anymore.”
