Marcelo Verdad: Hello, my name is Marcelo Verdad. I think that my name is Italian and it comes from mare and cielo, which is the Italian version of my name, Marcelo, which translates to sea and sky, which I love the idea, the concept behind my name. And this is actually my mom's name. Her name is Marcella, so I'm Marcelo. And actually you can also call me Marshmallow. I'm a teacher. I teach art to little kids, and sometimes my kids say it's a little bit hard for them to pronounce my name. And one time one of them started calling me Marshmallow because they couldn't pronounce my name. And since then, I introduce myself to all of my kids, and I just tell them that they can call me either Marcelo, but if it gets hard for them, you can also call me Marshmallow. The same for all the kids listening. If it's a little bit hard to pronounce, feel free to call me Marshmallow.
