What in the world is Selah??

-

 Quite literally, I'm a human. But if you want to know about my family and origins or whatever... here is where you'll find out!


I have dark brown wavy hair, black-brown eyes, and caramel skin, and I've been called Indian (a LOT), American, South American, and people have even said that my nose looks Chinese??


But here's the truth (just so you know, this is kind of complicated so just hang on!):

My mom's mom is part British, part Irish, and grew up in upstate New York. My mom's dad is Ethiopian, which makes my mom mixed and stuff, but she grew up in Seattle.

My dad's parents are both Ethiopian and he grew up in Ethiopia, Kenya and Canada, which means... (I'm gonna have a In The Heights scene right here)

My mom is American/Irish/British/Ethiopian, my dad from Ethiopia which means... I'm American, Irish, British and Ethiopian... But I always say I'm from New York!


Me and my brothers all look crazy different: The youngest has straight light brown hair, and light brown skin, and the middle child has very curly dark hair with a unique blonde patch in the back, and light brown skin.  Confusing, I know! 


But anyway, hope that clears things up! (If you were wondering for whatever reason)

So let's talk about MUSIC

Hey! So today I wanted to talk about my lovely journey through music! 🎵   I have always loved music, pretty much since I was born.  I remember when I was 3-6 or something like that, I would put on my rainbow fairy wings and gather my family in the living room to sing for them. I would ask, 'Should I sing about a house, butterflies, a hill or a rainbow?' and I'd make up little stories while singing.  I mostly just listened to the songs my parents would play around the house when I was young, but then, when I was 6/7 I would go to my best friend, Imani's house sometimes and we'd play music on their family computer and dance and sing.  My favorite artists at that time were Meghan Trainor, Selena Gomez and Shawn Mendes. I would listen to their songs on repeat over and over again.  Then, I stopped listening to music as much and just had a big gap. During the summer before 5th grade, I believe, I started listening to music again, and started loving Camila Cabell...

Are dogs REALLY allergic to Chocolate?

-
  So, here's the big answer: Dogs are technically allergic to chocolate, but it depends on the type of dog, and chocolate. Some dogs would be completely fine if they snarfed down a whole chocolate bar! Others would likely face seizures and possible death. Why would some dogs even be allergic to chocolate in the first place, though? Well, it really depends on the dose of chocolate. Chocolate contains two things that are toxic to dogs: a thing called theobromine  and caffeine , which are basically identical, and belong to a group of chemicals called methylxanthines.   I know it sounds complicated, but basically for dogs chocolate = toxic chemicals. Sometimes it is fine if your dog eats some chocolate, and sometimes even a bunch of chocolate! But if it is pregnant, young or has some sort of health problems, keep away!!  In general, it is definitely  not recommended to feed your dog chocolate, (because who wants to take the risk of having their dog die bec...
