123		151.8343	[<laugh>]	154.2393
124	DCB_int_01	152.8271	[Uh-oh. It's sound like it's a story.] And that's what this whole thing is about. [When I ask] you questions, and it makes you think of a story,	157.5260
125	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	155.3591	[Okay.]	155.9121
126	DCB_int_01	157.8751	please feel free to tell it.	158.8316
127	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	158.7863	Mm-hm. This is the story that I got. [<laugh>]	161.2864
128	DCB_int_01	160.5119	[<laugh>]	161.2864
129		161.5132	Now, if it's true or not-	162.6873
130	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	162.7009	My dad and my mom's cousin were in the military together.	166.7924
132		167.4679	And	168.2703
134		168.6465	he- my dad went to Norfolk	170.8271
136		171.5593	for a weekend or something with my mom's cousin.	174.1116
138		174.5377	And they met then.	175.5940
140		176.1924	How they ended up in Petersburg was because DC- I mean how they ended up in DC was DC	181.1498
142		181.3719	is almost like a middle point between New York and Petersburg.	184.9012
143	DCB_int_01	185.4996	Oh.	186.2385
144	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	186.2793	So they made it convenient for both [of 'em.]	188.7727
145	DCB_int_01	188.4644	[So he was] in the Navy?	189.3439
146	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	189.8358	No, he was in the Army.	190.7244
147	DCB_int_01	190.9012	[He was in the Army.]	191.4679
148	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	190.9148	[Airborne], [jumping out of] planes.	192.5423
149	DCB_int_01	191.6175	[Oh, okay.]	192.0572
150		192.6737	Oh. Mm-mm. [I'm good, thank you]	195.9151
151	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	193.6711	[<laugh>]	195.9500
152	DCB_int_01	196.0444	I'm okay with that.	196.9782
154		197.2865	Um,	197.8305
156		198.1433	so do you remember your childhood home?	200.2196
157	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	200.8452	We still live in my childhood [home.]	202.5158
158	DCB_int_01	202.3164	[Oh], so this- Okay. So tell me about that neighborhood and how have you seen that neighborhood change, like over the last twenty years or so?	208.4297
159	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	208.5022	Okay. Well, when we were coming up, the neighborhood was full of kids.	212.0474
160	DCB_int_01	212.2559	Mm.	212.3828
161	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	212.7092	We were those kids that could go outside-	215.4044
163		215.5631	I mean play, rip and run- And this is	218.0111
165		218.4599	my childhood, so	219.5298
167		220.1169	we had not a care in the world.	221.6265
169		221.9212	Where versus now, you know, a lot of kids have a lot of cares that-	224.4282
171		225.0062	So we would go out,	225.8358
173		226.0398	play. All of us that grew up together are still really really close. We [consider] each other family.	231.9764
174	DCB_int_01	230.4662	[Mm.]	230.9027
175	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	232.5974	And over the last couple of years,	235.0137
177		235.6983	we've seen a lot of the residents that had been there since the early seventies, they've either passed on	241.3900
179		241.7346	or they've gotten older and [their] kids are back in the house.	244.5476
180	DCB_int_01	243.0334	[Mm.]	243.2873
181	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	245.0916	Um, the newest people on our block actually just moved in	249.7701
183		250.5929	maybe about three weeks ago.	251.7807
184	DCB_int_01	252.2793	Hm.	252.6511
185	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	253.0545	Um, whereas though, prior to then,	255.1445
187		255.8358	um,	256.4524
189		256.8740	the newest neighbors have been there f- within the last five years.	259.8751
191		260.5052	So there- Th- More kids are coming back to the [neighborhood slowly] but surely.	264.2567
192	DCB_int_01	262.5612	[/Mm-hm./]	263.2049
193	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	264.7327	Whereas though,	265.3447
195		265.6258	at one point in time, as we grew up,	267.4663
197		267.9038	there weren't any more kids there.	269.2502
198	DCB_int_01	269.4271	Oh cause y'all were the- [y'all were the kids]	271.9703
199	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	270.2068	[We were the kids], yeah.	272.0066
200		272.2423	[So.]	272.6503
201	DCB_int_01	272.4962	[And] how many-	273.1626
202		273.4369	How- How do you feel like as a ne- Are you s- guys still close knit, or do you feel like with	278.4418
204		278.6820	some of the newer people coming in, it's-	280.5113
206		280.6700	the neighborhood is-	281.5204
207	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	281.5298	They come in and they end up blending [right with] the neighborhood.	284.5415
208	DCB_int_01	283.2767	[Right in.]	283.7572
209		284.9132	Cool.	285.4255
210	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	285.4595	Whereas though when were coming- When we were like,	287.3409
212		287.5767	in our teens, we would do block parties. You know, it was- It's almost like-	291.6885
214		292.4614	Where we live it's Easy Place, and then we get to the end of Easy Place,	296.2287
216		296.6684	Forty Sixth Street runs [there, so] that was part of our community.	300.4335
217	DCB_int_01	298.4116	[Mm-hm.]	298.8241
218	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	300.6919	And then you go up, and if you turn l- left or right, that's Reed Terrace and that was part of our community. So they had a	306.6828
220		307.1498	community	308.3511
222		309.6273	organization called Easy Place Community Square,	312.1796
224		313.0953	where we incorporated and got everybody out, and	316.3209
226		316.6292	the neighbors will decorate their front yards. We would	319.4762
228		319.8207	block off the street, have a good time. DJ, ponies, you name it, we had it.	324.1887
230		324.6103	And that was up until, I wanna say,	327.3711
232		327.6908	<ts> <ts>	328.1169
234		328.6292	they stopped doing it	329.6855
236		330.2068	early	330.6783
238		330.9140	two thousand.	332.1018
239	DCB_int_01	332.6322	Why?	332.8906
240	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	333.4187	Oh, well nobody knows.	334.6790
242		334.9284	I guess people got tired of	336.0527
244		336.6420	soliciting help and	338.0202
246		338.2514	you know, some of the dynamics changed where neighbors just	341.0644
248		341.4679	were getting older and didn't want to do it anymore.	343.4444
249	DCB_int_01	344.2287	[Do you-]	344.5778
250	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	344.2514	[Um-]	344.5460
251	DCB_int_01	344.9405	Do you feel like,	346.4750
253		347.4089	especially that neighborhood, because gentrification is happening all over [DC], and it's	351.8902
254	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	350.9994	[Right.]	351.4663
255	DCB_int_01	352.0897	starting to push its way over this way. Do you feel like that is effecting your neighborhood?	356.6775
256	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	357.0130	No, because all of the residents that are still there are staying firmly in-	361.7255
258		362.6276	staying right in DC.	363.9500
259	DCB_int_01	364.2574	Really?	364.5793
260	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	364.5929	And	365.2321
262		365.7263	it's home.	366.2657
264		366.7100	[It's] no way that they gonna push us out.	368.5732
265	DCB_int_01	366.7372	[Mm-hm.]	367.0001
266	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	368.7614	That's why	369.4868
268		369.7860	even now,	370.6836
270		371.0145	my dad still lives in our h- in the house.	372.6919
272		373.2132	But	373.5487
274		373.7572	I refuse to leave DC.	375.1399
275	DCB_int_01	375.8404	Mm.	376.0670
276	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	375.9673	Because you're not gonna push [me] out of my city <laugh>. [And that's what] they're trying to do. They're trying to push us out	381.0085
277	DCB_int_01	377.1784	[Hm.]	377.3928
279		378.6353	[/that's right/]	379.2586
280	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	381.4913	to PG County, Charles County.	383.5812
282		383.9892	I refuse to go. I- I- I tried Maryland.	386.7772
284		387.9265	It's nothing like DC.	388.8385
286		388.9782	[<laugh>]	389.9711
287	DCB_int_01	389.4180	[<laugh> Why do you say] that? Because you know, it's interesting. When I talk to people who are from Maryland, they're like, oh I'm from the DMV, you know. We know DC. And when I talk to people from DC, they're like, uh, no. They are not real DC people.	398.8543
288	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	398.7818	No, they're not.	399.6567
289	DCB_int_01	399.6318	How do you s- Why do you feel like it's different? Like why is this your city?	403.1951
290	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	404.9019	Just the love you get from it. I mean, I guess cause I grew- actually grew up in the city,	410.3783
292		410.8271	I have a deep love for DC. <laugh>	413.6945
294		414.2884	I- That's one of the reasons- I went to school in Atlanta.	416.5596
295	DCB_int_01	416.8815	Mm-hm.	417.2397
296	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	417.2737	I got my two year Associate's degree. I couldn't wait to get back home.	420.4017
298		421.2495	A- I came back home, and	422.8860
300		423.2850	I'm here. <laugh>	424.6065
301	DCB_int_01	424.3980	And Atlanta's another chocolate-ish kind of city.	427.5034
302	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	427.9114	Yeah, [but-]	428.9450
303	DCB_int_01	428.3964	[But it's] a different feel.	429.6772
304	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	429.6092	It's a different feel. It's a little more southern.	432.0708
305		432.9367	And	433.6394
307		433.9250	I didn't know it.	434.7500
309		434.9087	I knew home.	435.6594
311		435.8540	[That's all I knew was] home. <laugh> So I came on back home.	439.3039
312	DCB_int_01	435.8993	[Mm.]	436.7062
314		439.1588	You said, I got to get back home.	440.5778
315	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	440.3919	Mm, [yes.]	441.1159
316	DCB_int_01	440.9042	[So] how did you end up back at your house? Cause when you left to go to Atlanta, how'd you end up back?	445.6711
317	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	446.1471	When I came back home, I had no place to go. I didn't leave home until I was- How old is my son? /RD-NAME-1/ is seven.	452.0066
319		452.9450	I didn't leave home home until I was like thirty six, thirty seven. I stayed home all that time.	457.9930
321		458.9132	And at that point it was just time for me to spread my wings.	461.6991
322	DCB_int_01	462.0028	And to see something different, do something different, and come back to the place you call home.	465.4119
323	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	463.6348	[Mm-hm.]	464.1018
324		465.4128	Yep.	465.8018
325	DCB_int_01	465.8902	What's your best-	466.8105
327		467.2729	thinking about like, these block parties- I want you to tell me in- in as much detail as you can recall, like your best memory	473.4316
329		473.7761	of kind of your neighborhood,	475.5079
331		475.8116	probably when you were a little younger,	477.3213
333		477.7361	um,	478.2393
335		478.7334	and hanging out on the stoop, or hanging out or having a party, like give me some detail.	483.4210
336	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	483.4210	Well,	483.8925
337		484.3436	<laugh>	484.8694
339		485.2684	what we used to do, is have surprise water fights.	488.1698
341		489.1671	Somebody, <laugh>	490.3028
343		490.5294	would just go in the house and get a pitcher of water and come back out and dump it on somebody.	493.9214
345		494.2559	And this is what we did as kids.	496.0852
347		496.5430	So then next thing you know, you got all the kids scurrying in the house to get something or going to the side, getting a water hose, or	502.5113
349		503.1868	we	503.4361
351		503.6084	bike riding up and down the streets, skating up and down the streets. And then,	507.1762
353		507.3734	we had a lady that lived next do- still lives next door to my dad,	510.5241
355		511.0500	that	511.3764
357		511.6122	she would get some of us neighborhood kids and take us on bus rides.	515.2412
359		515.4316	She- We'd ride from	516.6511
361		517.0092	our side of town all the way up to Georgetown.	519.1785
363		520.2710	We'd go to the GC Murphy's up Georgetown,	523.2767
365		523.4172	the Woolworth's. I mean, little things like that,	525.7769
367		526.2892	and I'm noticing now n-	527.6356
369		527.8487	kids nowadays, they don't-	528.8687
371		529.0092	They don't do that. I even see that with my niece and nephew.	531.6182
372	DCB_int_01	531.8812	Mm.	532.2212
373	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	532.8377	I'm like, y'all crazy.	533.9303
375		534.1751	Get out, explore. That's how you gonna know things.	536.3783
377		536.8180	I remember us when we became teenagers,	539.9031
379		540.2431	getting-	540.5105
381		540.8007	having our summer jobs, getting our checks.	542.7364
383		543.2442	We would	543.9500
385		544.3572	get on the bus- get on the W four, catch it up to Alabama and /??/ Road, and get on the thirty two bus and catch that all the way up Georgetown	550.5340
387		550.6836	to go shopping, to hang out.	552.1433
389		552.6193	Or on a Saturday,	553.5668
391		554.2060	when the Senator was open, we'll get our little movie money, go down there and spend all day at the Senator.	559.6258
392	DCB_int_01	559.7527	What's the Senator?	560.4690
393	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	560.7183	The movie theater that used to be right there on Benning Road.	563.3953
394	DCB_int_01	563.7081	I did not know that.	565.0500
395	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	565.0455	You didn't know that? Oh, child, we saw [the /same/-]	567.2873
396	DCB_int_01	567.0198	[Cause I'm] not from DC, [so-]	568.3934
397	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	568.1396	[Yeah], well- it- You know where the Subway is next to the Downtown Locker Room?	571.9295
398	DCB_int_01	573.1581	I think [so.]	573.9500
399	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	573.7270	[It's a] Subway and a Beauty and Barber Supply that sits right there.	576.6964
400	DCB_int_01	576.7372	Mm-hm.	577.1407
401	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	577.3674	That used to be the Senator.	579.2397
403		580.4614	And if you look at the top of the billboard- They didn't tear the whole front	583.2359
405		583.5396	portion of the- of the building down,	585.2079
407		585.5026	but if you look	586.2484
409		586.4161	at the very top of	587.3727
411		587.5223	those two locations, you'll see it still says senator.	590.3692
413		590.7319	And that was our neighborhood movie theater.	592.8377
415		593.1777	For about	593.5585
417		593.7671	a dollar fifty to two dollars, you could go down there and see two movies.	596.9359
418	DCB_int_01	597.3507	Oh, no, honey. You can't even get a [/inaudible/.]	599.5449
419	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	599.0598	[No, you] can't [nowadays.]	600.8143
420	DCB_int_01	600.0980	[You can barely play] pacman for a dollar.	601.9522
421	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	601.9567	Mm-hm. So those are things that we did. I remember where Unity Health Clinic,	606.3556
423		606.5287	right there on [Minnesota Avenue] used to be a Giant.	608.6753
424	DCB_int_01	607.1362	[Mm-hm.]	607.4580
425		609.9038	Really?	610.3073
427		610.4705	[And then-]	611.0825
428	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	610.4750	[Yes.]	611.1097
429	DCB_int_01	611.2366	So then they closed before Safeway opened?	613.1906
430	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	613.2858	They closed long before Safeway opened. There used to be a Giant um-	617.0100
432		618.0391	trying to think.	619.0500
434		620.1834	You know right there on Benning Road where they tore the Popeye's down?	622.7198
435	DCB_int_01	623.1369	Mm, up this way? [Uh-huh.] [By- pass] the Denny's.	625.5668
436	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	623.8985	[Yes.]	624.2249
438		624.5695	[That used-]	625.0636
440		625.5306	Yes, that used to be Gino's	627.8721
441		628.0262	Fried Chicken.	628.7833
443		629.6855	Um, at the top of Coral Hills where	632.4508
445		632.6503	the Shoppers is now?	633.8834
446	DCB_int_01	634.9102	/I don't know./	635.3409
447	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	635.6855	At the very [t-]	636.3383
448	DCB_int_01	635.9665	[Go-] keep going [up.]	637.0364
449	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	636.8233	[Keep] going up. [At the very] top of Coral Hills, that used to be a Giant and a CVS.	640.8060
450	DCB_int_01	637.5079	[Mm-hm.]	637.9204
451	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	641.3364	When CVS- Before CVS became CVS it was called People's,	644.7138
453		645.2782	People's Drug [Store.]	646.4369
454	DCB_int_01	646.1350	[Mm-hm.]	646.8876
455	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	646.9420	Um,	647.7036
457		648.3745	Trying to think of what else has changed.	650.1562
458	DCB_int_01	650.5642	Cause there's another People's- If you	651.7882
460		651.9628	go down like, New York and um- <ts>	654.1343
462		654.7145	Is it New York and P? Or go passed P?	656.9813
464		657.2079	Like, go passed Flor- Like, toward [Florida?]	659.3863
465	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	659.0598	[Yeah] it's a lot of CVS' along the line, but	661.0908
466		661.5578	these are things that we saw change, you know, over the years.	664.6518
468		665.3772	Um, I remember when-	667.6711
470		668.6322	Where the laundromat is,	669.7927
472		669.9673	um, right there at the corner East Capitol and Benning Road?	672.4335
474		672.8913	And the Benco Shopping Center?	674.2740
475	DCB_int_01	674.2695	Mm-hm. Mm-hm.	674.9405
476	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	675.1354	That used to be	676.4021
478		676.6020	a grocery store.	677.5495
479	DCB_int_01	678.7281	Wow.	679.2167
480	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	679.2676	Where um, Kipp DC is [now?]	682.1985
481	DCB_int_01	681.7406	[Mm-hm.]	682.2030
482	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	682.4342	That used to be what we used to call The Market.	684.5559
484		684.7735	We used to can go down there,	685.9748
486		686.3420	and it was different little- e- sh- stands inside of there. We could shop for hair goods,	690.7055
488		691.0500	t shirts.	691.9340
490		692.3466	You- they had a place in there that had the best f-	694.3164
492		694.6110	ch- steak and cheese.	695.8351
494		696.2884	I mean these are all the things that we saw-	698.3738
496		698.5234	You know, we've seen change over the years.	700.5014
498		700.9238	The um, corner store that sits right there next to	703.2540
500		703.4036	Kipp used to be	704.4236
502		704.7591	a People's Drug Store.	705.8607
504		706.5249	And if you go further up Benning Road,	708.1932
506		709.1951	on	709.6575
508		709.9295	the left hand side, right there- I think that's Benning Road and H,	712.4388
510		712.9510	that used to be	713.8260
512		714.4154	the only black owned	715.8207
514		716.7364	record store	717.6613
516		718.1622	on this side of town, and it was called Anne's Record Shop.	720.7327
518		721.8524	And then	722.6322
520		722.9518	where the hair braiding place is now, that used to be a cleaners.	725.8441
522		726.5241	And then,	727.4852
524		727.6620	the twenty four hour store	729.3122
526		729.5276	used to be an actual Seven Eleven.	731.4135
527	DCB_int_01	732.5332	[Mm.]	732.9412
528	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	732.7278	[<laugh>]	734.4082
529	DCB_int_01	733.4943	[So this neighborhood] has changed. [What do you-]	735.4165
530	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	734.9722	[It has] changed dramatically.	737.3908
531	DCB_int_01	737.6673	And do you foresee it changing it even more?	739.5306
533		740.2559	Like,	740.5551
535		740.7705	not even just like, the people, but I'm just saying like, as we continue to build. Cause it seems like they started building in the middle, and now they just expanding out, expanding out, expanding out.	748.9148
537		749.7671	Or you think it's kind of at a point where it's gonna stand still?	751.9884
538	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	752.0202	I think it's gonna be the point where it stands still cause a lot of	756.0028
540		757.0591	Ward Seven and Ward Eight	758.9903
542		759.2669	are those lost wards where	761.5767
544		762.0391	we're the last to get everything.	763.8570
546		764.5324	/When- didn't/- And the sad part about it is Ward Eight is even	767.1505
548		767.3999	last to get	768.0753
550		768.7644	what [we get.]	769.5714
551	DCB_int_01	769.0409	[/inaudible/] Yeah.	770.1471
552	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	770.6186	So,	771.3122
554		771.5593	I mean- And to me,	772.6609
556		772.9465	the change,	773.8577
558		776.2967	I don't think it will be accepted well.	778.0398
559	DCB_int_01	778.6972	Why not?	779.1188
560	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	779.2049	Because	779.9439
562		780.4924	in these areas, you have a lot of places what they consider to be affordable housing.	785.5359
563	DCB_int_01	785.7489	Mm-hm.	786.2884
564	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	786.5287	And if you come in and you're remodeling and rebuilding, where-	789.7769
566		789.9310	where are the people that can't	791.2230
568		791.4905	afford	792.2204
570		793.0183	market rent- Where are they gonna go?	794.8180
571	DCB_int_01	794.8996	Right.	795.2487
572	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	795.5638	You gonna push them out	796.6201
574		796.9873	somewhere else.	797.8895
576		798.5967	Or the ra- the rate of homelessne- ness is gonna go up.	801.9106
577	DCB_int_01	802.5793	Yeah,	802.9184
579		803.0679	and it's already rough. Like, if you think about	805.7482
581		805.9295	where you can get really fresh produce or	808.1260
583		808.7425	you know, fresh food, like [beside] at the grocery store- It's	811.5668
584	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	810.6057	[Yeah.]	810.8777
585	DCB_int_01	811.8343	limited.	812.3828
586	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	812.7546	And um, actually our church did a um-	815.4180
588		815.6628	They had a study group with someone from GW	818.9178
589	DCB_int_01	819.2261	Mm-hm.	819.5615
590	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	819.5865	about	820.1214
592		820.5657	the changes	821.3953
594		821.6265	in the dy- The changes in dynamics within Ward Seven.	824.8090
596		825.3870	And I was telling her where- Like a lot of these government agencies-	829.9794
598		830.3375	DHS for- is the prime [example]- I've really have a	833.1686
599	DCB_int_01	831.8948	[/example/]	832.4388
600	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	833.3681	big problem with them	834.4425
602		835.1679	because	835.6983
604		836.1698	you go over there- That's the one right there on Alabama Avenue.	838.7244
606		839.4769	You go over there,	840.2975
608		840.8188	and	841.2903
610		841.9386	you're trying to get assistance,	843.2442
612		843.4097	but the attitude-	844.2242
614		844.9782	You got to deal with the attitude, and I actually had to tell somebody in there,	848.3919
616		848.6458	Ma'am, you don't know my circumstance.	850.2982
618		850.8014	You don't know what prompted me to get to where I am. I'm not one of these lazy individuals out here	855.8948
620		856.3164	that's just looking for a handout, I lost my job.	858.4244
621	DCB_int_01	858.7417	Mm-hm.	859.2540
622	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	859.2948	So, that's why I'm here for this.	860.9314
624		861.0629	I don't have to come here f-	862.1985
626		862.4932	for the attitude.	863.4497
628		864.1796	And	864.4516
630		865.0696	these are things that you have to incur within our community. And like you said, the fresh fruit.	869.5223
632		870.0935	You go look at the Safeway down there on- on Minnesota Avenue,	873.1717
634		873.9492	it's terrible.	874.8130
636		875.4497	And that's one of the only grocery stores that we have within the Ward Seven community on this side.	880.3073
638		880.6292	So,	881.1052
640		882.0391	if we don't go there, we have to have a car to go	884.5642
642		884.8271	elsewhere.	885.4527
643	DCB_int_01	885.5593	Mm-hm. Cause I go there,	887.6764
645		887.9348	you know sometimes just to get some bananas or something, and I'm just like, really?	891.1694
647		891.3779	And then it's one line for fifty people.	893.9031
648	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	893.9257	Mm-hm.	894.2884
650		894.5740	Mm-hm.	894.8505
651	DCB_int_01	894.8777	It's	895.1996
653		895.5586	[awful.]	896.3077
654	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	895.5749	[And I-] I live in- I live in Mayfair	897.9450
655		898.8619	right over here um,	900.5689
657		900.9404	<ts>	901.0878
659		901.3415	off of Kenilworth Avenue,	902.3895
660	DCB_int_01	902.6023	Uh-huh.	902.9584
661	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	903.1508	and	903.6298
663		903.8099	I shouldn't have to leave outside of my community to go to the grocery store.	906.9240
665		907.4233	But I do. I find myself traveling to Laurel or I'm going out to Forestville.	911.3694
667		911.7695	You know, somewhere like that.	913.0058
669		913.1449	So,	913.5952
671		913.7221	in those aspects, when we were coming up, we had more grocery stores and [things like] that that we could choose from,	919.1408
672	DCB_int_01	917.3069	[Mm-hm.]	917.7531
673	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	919.7179	and	920.2214
675		920.7986	it was better.	921.7360
677		921.8864	You know, it was a lot better. Now, they just giving us what they feel like	925.2635
679		925.4231	we should have.	926.1845
681		927.0646	And	927.5927
683		927.8413	if we don't voice our opinion, it's never gonna [change.]	930.1173
684	DCB_int_01	929.6957	[That's the-] Yep.	930.7354
685		931.0056	That's- That's the one thing [/gotta/.]	932.3650
686	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	932.0494	[And if] you look up and you see	933.7471
687		933.9027	corner store after corner store after corner store after corner store,	938.1957
689		938.7687	come on now.	939.3705
690	DCB_int_01	939.7389	Mm-hm.	940.2342
691	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	940.2710	Not everybody is in the business of going to grab something	943.5816
693		943.7535	quick to eat.	944.5231
695		944.6868	[I cook.] <laugh>	945.6897
696	DCB_int_01	944.7032	[Right.]	945.0961
697		945.7061	Mm-hm.	946.1645
698	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	946.2259	You can look at my son and tell	947.3352
700		947.4744	I cook. So,	948.7638
702		949.2336	you know, it's just things that	950.6130
704		950.8832	they don't have to offer, but	952.2791
706		952.7498	I'm not going anywhere <laugh>.	953.9164
707	DCB_int_01	954.2388	Right.	954.5990
708	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	954.8160	[<heavy breathing>]	967.2866
709	DCB_int_01	954.8160	[How do you- How did you- Cause I- I know your son. I know /RD-NAME-1/, and I- The reason- And it's so funny how I know him because]	960.1937
711		960.5744	[um,]	960.9715
713		961.5036	[I do attendance, and I check attendance and things like that. So I see his name often, and I think y'all, um- The DC Trust-]	967.2948
714		967.8392	You were part of the DC Trust program,	969.8491
715	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	970.0241	[Mm-hm.]	970.4580
716	DCB_int_01	970.2083	[and] so,	970.8182
717		971.0351	I have to check their and send their attendance records in so I- I know /RD-NAME-1/, and I al- When I go over there, I say, hey Ch- You know, he probably doesn't know me, but I always say something. And when he lost his tooth it was so funny to me. [I thought it was so cute.]	981.3935
718	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	980.4275	[<laugh>]	981.9462
719	DCB_int_01	982.0321	Anyway,	982.4783
721		982.8017	um, how did you come to Boys- How did you come	984.9180
723		985.1503	to bring him to the Boys and Girls Club? Was it here when you guys were	987.8478
725		988.2081	younger?	988.5519
726	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	988.5560	No, but I did go to the Boys and Girls Club up in Georgetown every summer cause my mom worked at Georgetown University.	994.8493
728		995.2641	So therefore, she had to /pus/-	996.9741
730		997.2238	put me somewhere, and	998.7671
732		999.1396	that's where I got a lot of expo-	1000.5108
734		1000.9325	Here's where I got a lot of exposure to everything.	1003.2606
735	DCB_int_01	1003.5267	Mm.	1003.7273
736	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	1003.8050	Um,	1004.2594
738		1004.5951	I remember being in a Monopoly tournament, winning a [gold medal.]	1007.9384
739	DCB_int_01	1007.7664	[<laugh>]	1009.3521
740	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	1008.3927	[I remember us going] swimming. I remember us going	1010.7956
741		1011.0576	on nature hikes through the woods. I re- I mean,	1013.4635
743		1013.8319	these are all the things that I remember so,	1015.6371
745		1016.0014	the experience that I had with the Boys and Girls Club, is what drew me here.	1020.1634
746	DCB_int_01	1020.4581	Mm-hm.	1020.7692
747	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	1020.6955	And not only that,	1021.8048
748		1022.0300	the aftercare is affordable.	1023.5926
749	DCB_int_01	1023.8628	[Mm-hm.]	1024.2681
750	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	1024.0634	[Whereas] though, when he was at Arts and Technology,	1026.3189
751		1026.7200	<ts>	1026.8756
753		1027.4108	first of all, they didn't give vouchers.	1028.9786
754	DCB_int_01	1029.5353	Hm.	1029.7727
755	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	1029.6581	Second of all,	1030.4154
756		1031.2913	y-	1031.4674
758		1031.9176	y- I was paying three hundred and thirty six dollars a month	1034.6633
760		1035.1873	just for aftercare.	1036.5258
762		1037.4345	And	1038.0117
764		1038.3668	for fifty dollars a month here,	1039.9019
766		1040.1188	he gets exposed to a whole lot more	1041.7562
767	DCB_int_01	1042.4111	Mm-hm.	1042.8941
768	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	1042.9750	versus	1043.4539
770		1043.6136	yeah,	1043.9329
772		1044.0966	you got- They fed him in the evenings. I can do that.	1046.7450
774		1046.9825	I can cook, so- <laugh>	1048.1276
775	DCB_int_01	1047.6672	[Right <laugh>.]	1048.5497
776	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	1048.6188	You know, they fed him in the evenings, and	1051.1567
778		1051.9017	they did homework. They do that here.	1053.1912
779	DCB_int_01	1053.5023	Mm-hm.	1053.8584
780	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	1054.4796	And,	1054.7456
782		1054.9094	like I said I- my experience coming up was always a good one, so I wanted him to have, you know, that same-	1059.7550
783	DCB_int_01	1059.7836	So you went to Jelleff?	1060.9953
784	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	1061.1918	[Yes.]	1061.7116
785	DCB_int_01	1061.2081	[with Bob.]	1062.0432
786	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	1062.6081	I don't remember who. It's been so long. [I'm for-]	1064.8792
787	DCB_int_01	1064.2403	[Oh, but he's] been there for like forty ye-	1066.0578
788		1066.2748	He's probably been there longer than you've been alive.	1068.4525
789	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	1068.5589	He probably [was-]	1069.6181
790	DCB_int_01	1069.4380	[The] little old- He's like a old- Well, he probably wasn't so old then, but	1072.6799
791		1073.2980	like, kind of a lanky white guy,	1075.2863
793		1075.7572	and he's still- If you see him, you'll be like, yep, I [remember. Cause he start- I] think he was the pool guy at first.	1080.5096
794	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	1077.8817	[<laugh>]	1078.6840
795	DCB_int_01	1080.7379	And then he moved to do like,	1082.3343
797		1082.6577	games and then [soccer] or something he used to do- And now he's like- He's been there [forever.]	1086.8933
798	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	1083.6237	[Mm-hm.]	1083.9635
800		1086.6150	[And just] like I send /RD-NAME-1/ here during spring break,	1089.3248
801	DCB_int_01	1089.3084	Mm-hm.	1089.7997
802	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	1089.8365	I was there during [spring break.]	1091.5302
803	DCB_int_01	1090.7156	[Spring break.]	1091.5424
804	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	1091.7594	You know? And it- it-	1092.6681
806		1092.9629	it's just a good experience. And I tell	1094.9359
808		1095.4066	any of my friends that have kids,	1097.0594
809	DCB_int_01	1097.0512	Mm-hm.	1097.3336
810	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	1097.3745	Get 'em to the Boys and Girls Club.	1099.0651
811	DCB_int_01	1099.1388	It's a life changing- And I've never- I didn't, you know, know about the Boys and Girls Club, and I had one right up the street.	1104.3037
813		1104.6107	But I was really involved in school,	1106.2358
814	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	1106.2685	Mm-hm.	1106.6165
815	DCB_int_01	1106.6236	so I didn't go, you know, after school. I usually was at school until seven or eight o'clock.	1110.2709
816	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	1110.2750	Mm-hm.	1110.6843
817	DCB_int_01	1110.9094	And so,	1111.5726
819		1111.8990	um, I didn't know much about Boys and Girls Club til I moved here, and I was like, Oh my goodness. Like, it literally was probably-	1118.0463
821		1118.5662	From here to Seven Eleven	1119.8925
823		1120.0849	was the distance it was from- from my house.	1121.8857
824	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	1121.9064	[Wow.]	1122.4959
825	DCB_int_01	1122.3145	[And didn't] know anything about it.	1123.8375
826	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	1123.8743	And see that was one- Cause um,	1125.7696
828		1125.8924	/RD-NAME-2/ school, Arts and Technology, ended up closing.	1128.4825
829	DCB_int_01	1128.9451	Mm.	1129.2152
830	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	1129.4772	And I felt as it was time for him to have a change of scenery.	1132.8297
831	DCB_int_01	1133.0989	Mm-hm.	1133.4959
832	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	1133.4755	And one of the reasons why I chose DC Prep where he goes to school at	1137.8135
833		1138.0140	was because	1139.0333
835		1139.5859	they still picked up	1140.4906
837		1140.7239	from the Boys [and Girls Club.]	1142.1506
838	DCB_int_01	1141.3870	[Mm-hm. They have the bus] [after school], that brings 'em here. Mm-hm.	1144.1204
839	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	1142.5240	[Mm-hm.]	1142.9251
840		1144.5298	And I d- I mean, and I trust all the staff member here. They love /RD-NAME-1/ to death, even though they drive- He drives 'em crazy, but	1150.3823
842		1150.9186	I- I- I trust 'em.	1152.1016
844		1152.2448	I really do,	1152.9489
846		1153.1577	and I know that they will look out for him.	1155.2770
847	DCB_int_01	1155.5595	Mm-hm.	1155.9320
848	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	1155.9115	And that- that's important to me.	1157.3688
849		1157.5775	[And-]	1157.8559
850	DCB_int_01	1157.5939	[It's like] another family.	1158.9028
851	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	1158.9028	Yeah, and even my dad,	1160.2659
852		1160.5647	he said, oh,	1161.1583
854		1161.4571	I st- Cause when they send him the donation request,	1164.3061
856		1164.6530	he said, oh, I make sure I give to them because /RD-NAME-1/ goes there. So he gives back in his own [way too as well],	1170.8453
857	DCB_int_01	1169.8175	[/Way/ Mm-hm.]	1170.9149
858	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	1171.3734	which is good.	1172.1552
859	DCB_int_01	1172.3804	So do you have- Okay, let's	1173.6452
861		1173.7803	before we go back- I want to go back to /RD-NAME-1/ for a minute, but I want to go-	1176.5692
863		1176.9722	Do you have brothers and sisters?	1178.2043
864	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	1178.3598	I have one brother.	1179.3586
865	DCB_int_01	1179.7270	Oh so it's just two of y'all.	1180.7617
866	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	1180.8067	Yeah.	1181.2119
867	DCB_int_01	1181.2733	I talked to another lady she has- It was fifteen of them.	1183.8154
868	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	1183.9791	Jesus.	1184.6995
869	DCB_int_01	1184.8182	I said,	1185.3749
871		1185.6359	I can't imagine. [I'm- I'm a] one and one. Yeah. I'm the younger sister,	1189.1399
872	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	1186.5528	[It's just-]	1187.1382
873	DCB_int_01	1189.4305	and I [have a older brother.]	1190.2164
874	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	1189.6024	[I'm- And I'm-] I'm the youngest of the- It's [seven years] between me and my brother. [<laugh>]	1195.2503
875	DCB_int_01	1191.3493	[w- w- w-]	1191.9526
877		1192.2785	[Oh my- It's seven years between me and my brother!]	1194.3129
879		1195.2299	Ah!	1195.7088
880		1196.1621	That's great.	1196.6370
881	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	1196.7229	[Yeah-huh.]	1197.1773
882	DCB_int_01	1196.9767	[So I] know how it is to be the little sister, and like I don't- I don't- Mm-mm- And yeah- Always getting him in trouble cause I never got in trouble for anything. It was always his fault.	1203.5702

925		1254.7892	she smacked me in my face.	1256.1318
927		1256.5903	It didn't hurt that bad	1257.8592
929		1258.4814	but I saw my brother standing over there, so [I /crowd/]	1261.0020

1248		1687.6502	Yup.	1687.8549
1249	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	1688.0063	But that's the school that she's at, and she impacted all of our lives cause she's one that-	1693.3636
1251		1694.5384	She just didn't accept- When it came down to her kids, she just didn't accept no for an answer.	1699.3062
1252	DCB_int_01	1699.5723	Mm-hm.	1699.8507
1253	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	1700.3623	And her heart was there.	1702.0845

1401		1897.8437	He opened our eyes to a lot of things, be it the Civil Rights Movement,	1901.5402
1403		1902.0158	apartheid over in South Africa,	1904.4778
1405		1905.0642	um- We had to do a three dimensional tour of DC	1908.6919
1407		1909.2795	where	1909.8623
1409		1910.6177	we could either start over at Arlington Cemetery and walk from Arlington Cemetery	1915.4007
1411		1915.9509	back over to DC or start in DC and end at Arlington Cemetery where we would have to	1920.6826
1413		1922.3846	pick something up at each one of the landmarks.	1924.4724
1414	DCB_int_01	1924.3745	Mm-hm.	1924.9060
1415	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	1924.9480	H- Um, we had to do a shaving of a certain name on the um-	1929.7508
1417		1930.1273	What wall is that? Is that the AIDS Wall	1932.1044
1419		1933.4100	that's downtown?	1934.3939
1421		1935.0234	I can't remember which wall it is. The Vietnam Memorial,	1937.5438
1422	DCB_int_01	1937.5109	Mm-hm.	1937.9319
1423	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	1938.2863	we w- had to do a rubbing from off of there.	1940.6290
1425		1940.7609	Um,	1941.1866
1427		1942.2532	we had to meet at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.	1946.1701
1429		1946.7623	It was just so many things,	1947.9500
1431		1948.2579	and that gave us an opportunity to see DC on foot	1951.8670
1432	DCB_int_01	1952.3892	Mm-hm.	1952.8882
1433	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	1952.9488	because we couldn't catch the bus to each one of those locations. We had to walk it.	1956.7013
1435		1957.3914	So that opened [our eyes.]	1958.5944
1436	DCB_int_01	1958.0255	[And you ain't have your] cell phone where you can [take a picture and a] selfie.	1961.1485
1437	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	1959.6004	[Exactly.]	1960.5470
1438		1961.3770	And then um,	1962.4075
1440		1962.8598	we worked at soup kitchens.	1964.2866
1442		1964.7016	We [had to]-	1965.0781
1443	DCB_int_01	1964.7154	[Mm.]	1965.4152
1444	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	1965.1514	[It was] mandatory for us to volunteer at the soup kitchens.	1967.7500
1445	DCB_int_01	1967.7640	As part of the [class?]	1968.8551
1446	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	1968.6826	[As] part of the [class],	1969.7831
1447	DCB_int_01	1969.6059	[Wow.]	1970.0255
1448	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	1970.0861	so that gave us an opportunity to see	1972.7149
1450		1973.6801	life on the other [side.]	1974.9531
1451	DCB_int_01	1974.5545	[Side] Mm-hm.	1975.4567
1452	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	1976.1887	Um, what else did we do (whispering)?	1977.5363
1454		1978.8734	He used to give-	1979.6521
1456		1979.9505	He used to just do crazy stuff. He was just like,	1982.4685
1458		1982.7716	weird. <laugh>	1983.7415
1460		1984.3139	But everybody that came through his class,	1986.8365
1462		1987.0090	learned	1987.7318
1464		1987.9090	something.	1988.7250
1466		1989.4326	And my brother even had him,	1990.7708
1468		1991.1299	and he graduated from /RD-SCHOOL-2/ in eighty four,	1993.0044
1470		1993.7691	[so]	1994.4545
1471	DCB_int_01	1994.3265	[Wow.]	1994.7295
1472	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	1995.1435	a lot of the teachers, <laugh>	1996.2812
1474		1996.7568	that my brother had-	1997.7174
1475	DCB_int_01	1997.9878	You had 'em [too? And then-] And you were his little sister?	2000.1421
1476	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	1998.4821	[Uh-huh.]	1998.9624
1478		2000.0255	[Uh-huh.]	2000.4965
1479	DCB_int_01	2000.2633	[Mm-hm.]	2000.7343
1480	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	2001.0887	And they used to say, we feel so sorry for you. <laugh>	2005.0183
1482		2005.9229	But yeah, Social Justice was like the best class.	2009.6941
1483	DCB_int_01	2009.7733	And so, the fact that you got to do DC like that, right? Being a native, I think sometimes we forget-	2014.4910
1485		2015.8060	We-	2016.1371
1487		2016.5287	Like the monuments and all, that's like a very touristy thing	2019.4978
1489		2019.7403	but do you feel like a lot of natives take advantage of that? Like, do you think a lot of 'em go down and hang out [at the Washing-]	2025.1260
1490	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	2024.5851	[No.]	2025.0280
1491		2025.4699	They don't take-	2026.2253
1493		2027.0366	take-	2027.3350
1495		2027.7221	They don't take advantage of it.	2029.0277
1496	DCB_int_01	2029.4706	And why not?	2030.2027
1497	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	2030.8322	M-	2030.9488
1499		2031.1959	They just- I mean some of 'em	2033.0413
1501		2033.3257	aren't taught to go and do those types of things.	2035.9416
1503		2036.3892	Some of 'em are just taught to just	2038.4491
1505		2038.6216	accept the city for what it is.	2040.2629
1507		2040.8691	But if they get out, and they see the beauty that's within the city,	2043.9735
1509		2044.2952	[I think] a lot of people would appreciate it a lot more.	2046.9111
1510	DCB_int_01	2044.2999	[Mm-hm.]	2044.6076
1511		2047.0463	I agree.	2047.5266
1512	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	2048.9115	[And uh, I really] do. But,	2050.5796
1513	DCB_int_01	2048.9115	[I agree.]	2049.7000
1514	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	2051.3117	they don't.	2052.0112
1516		2052.3935	It's sad.	2053.0883
1518		2053.5732	I look around at-	2054.3752
1520		2054.5944	sometimes at some of these kids	2056.4398
1522		2056.9060	that are	2057.4423
1524		2057.6148	our future, and I just	2059.1244
1526		2059.2636	get sick to my stomach	2060.6270
1528		2061.1726	because I'm like,	2061.9688
1530		2062.2532	these are the people that's gonna have to take care of us when we get older.	2065.1023
1532		2065.7318	That's why I refuse to allow my son to be	2069.0040
1534		2069.3210	any old thing out here.	2070.5241
1535	DCB_int_01	2070.8458	Mm-hm.	2071.2002
1536	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	2071.1349	He might try his hand in getting over, but	2073.5072
1537		2073.8196	it's not gonna happen.	2074.9480
1539		2075.8386	It's not gonna happen. You know how- well-	2077.5779
1541		2077.9090	I mean, a lot of people might say that this is petty. I m- He's not allowed to say, yeah.	2081.6241
1543		2082.0485	What is yeah?	2082.7246
1544	DCB_int_01	2083.0510	I love that.	2083.5359
1545	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	2083.6991	It's yes.	2084.6410
1546	DCB_int_01	2084.6131	Mm-hm.	2084.9954
1547	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	2085.3300	And if he say's, yeah to me, I'm like, what do you say? Oh, yes Mommy. <laugh>	2089.3634
1549		2089.7970	Ye- I mean, it's certain things that we have to instill in our kids. And [if we] don't instill it, [then nobo-] The streets are gonna get 'em, [and]	2096.5991
1550	DCB_int_01	2093.2138	[Right.]	2093.5915
1552		2094.3609	[Then nobody else-]	2095.4380

1555	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	2097.2892	that's why I try to- Between here and church I try to keep him involved in something.	2101.6199
1557		2102.2447	He sings in a choir at church too,	2104.0033
1559		2104.2299	so I try to keep him as busy as possible.	2106.7013
1560	DCB_int_01	2106.7339	If you could give on piece of advice,	2108.8975
1562		2109.4512	either thinking about something that you could do over,	2111.9365
1564		2112.5987	or	2113.3960
1566		2113.6945	if you- Like, you said, you looking at kind of our youth today- If you could give one piece of advice, what would it be and why?	2119.0417
1567	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	2120.5991	Go to school and get your education	2122.7242
1569		2123.7081	because that is the only way that we are gonna be able to progress as a society	2128.7848
1571		2129.2185	is through education.	2130.6360
1572	DCB_int_01	2131.0696	Mm.	2131.4706
1573	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	2131.7271	There are so many programs, so many opportunities within the city	2136.4401
1575		2136.8038	that we don't take advantage of.	2138.3799

1577	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	2139.4792	Like,	2140.0387
1579		2140.4724	I r- lost my job in December. I could have sat at home and did nothing all day,	2144.8835
1581		2145.3731	but I went and took free classes from UDC Work Force Development. I got a cert- I got my certification in Front Desk.	2151.4326
1583		2151.8709	I was gonna go back and do Leasing and Property Management cause that's where I want to go next with my customer service experience,	2157.5736
1585		2157.9222	but then I ended up getting the temp position that I have now.	2160.2117
1587		2160.9670	But	2161.3168
1589		2161.5499	once I'm finished this temp assignment,	2163.0141
1591		2163.2321	I'm still gonna go back [to school], and	2165.1019

1593	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	2165.5682	I did free- Buy Back, office- Free computer classes. It's no reason why anybody in this city should not know how to work a computer.	2172.3469
1595		2173.0603	Because there are programs out there that we need to take advantage of.	2177.0506
1597		2178.1837	We get a lot more advanta-	2179.3168
1599		2179.6805	more things to do here in DC than you do in Maryland.	2182.5470
1601		2183.3770	Maryland offers nothing.	2184.6056
1603		2185.4240	[Take] advantage [of it.]	2186.5431

1653		2233.3074	I went to UDC.	2234.2354
1655		2235.0887	Started out going to school full time,	2236.9647
1657		2237.6288	not working.	2238.1927
1659		2238.3869	My mother and them was like, we don't want you to work. We want you to focus on your education.	2241.6855
1661		2242.3745	But they wasn't putting the money in my pocket cause I could go party now!	2245.3168

1665		2247.8662	f-	2248.0714
1667		2248.1630	I started	2248.8827
1669		2249.4936	going to school full time, and I was working full time.	2252.0395
1671		2252.7716	I was going to school on	2254.8781
1673		2255.1578	Tuesdays and Thursdays from eight o'clock in the morning to eight o'clock at night.	2258.5198
1675		2259.4524	I was working Sunday, Monday, Wednesday,	2261.5215
1677		2261.7827	Friday and Saturday.	2262.9904
1679		2264.3706	So [eventually]	2265.4664

1681	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	2266.4474	<ts>	2266.5133
1683		2266.5796	after awhile, I got tired of doing that.	2268.3562
1685		2269.1909	School	2269.8716
1687		2269.9929	became part time.	2271.1306
1689		2271.4559	Work became full time.	2272.9294
1691		2273.8060	So eventually,	2274.8272
1693		2275.1536	you know what happens.	2276.1701
1695		2276.3473	School became nonexistent at all,	2278.3838

1703		2284.9433	you know, set in. I thought I was on top of the world,	2287.2095
1705		2287.8297	and here it is,	2288.8229
1707		2289.1994	I- I'm the lowest thing on the totem pole now	2291.2464
1709		2291.9645	because I don't have that	2293.5033
1711		2293.6758	degree behind [my name.] I don't have those credentials that they're looking for.	2297.4003

1723		2308.7102	seventeen plus years of customer service experience,	2311.8996
1725		2312.8182	but they want you to have a degree in something else.	2314.9340
1727		2315.7034	So, I have to accept a job pay of seventeen dollars a hour when I know my potential	2320.4724
1729		2320.8268	to make much more,	2322.1184
1730	DCB_int_01	2322.5287	Mm.	2322.7899
1731	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	2322.9018	but I don't have that.	2323.8297
1733		2324.2913	So I- I told them, take advantage of whatever educational opportunities that there are afforded out here,	2329.6199
1735		2329.8297	take advantage of 'em.	2330.6877
1737		2331.2554	Because that's the only way that we gonna be able to get ahead,	2333.4749
1739		2333.7267	[if you just] keep going to school. And of course, they didn't listen.	2336.3100
1740	DCB_int_01	2333.7267	[Mm-hm.]	2334.2956
1741	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	2336.5338	<laugh>	2336.9022
1743		2338.2159	<sigh> One of 'em dropped out	2339.7127
1745		2341.2002	eleventh grade year,	2342.4872
1746	DCB_int_01	2342.8835	Mm. So close.	2344.0061
1747	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	2344.6822	and the other one, she graduated from high school.	2348.6364
1749		2349.9268	And she started- I don't know what happened cause I actually ended up having them removed from my house,	2353.6945
1751		2354.2773	but um,	2355.3778
1753		2356.6309	she started going to UDC but I don't know what happened	2359.3168
1755		2359.4893	but she's not in school anymore.	2361.2705
1757		2361.9455	So, I'm just like, y-	2363.4050
1759		2363.6335	y'all blew it	2364.6220
1761		2365.1396	because free- free! Nobody has to pay for [anything.]	2369.1392
1762	DCB_int_01	2368.6869	[You ain't gonna] be in debt.	2369.8200
1763	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	2370.0112	Exactly! [You don't have to worry about] going out here getting a- a loan. None of that.	2374.9364
1764	DCB_int_01	2371.1582	[And debt is real.]	2372.1374
1765	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	2375.8060	So,	2376.3655
1767		2378.2074	I just tell anybody, get your education.	2380.1833
1769		2380.9993	Do what you got to- <laugh>	2381.6801
1770	DCB_int_01	2381.7920	Do.	2382.0904

1776		2385.9231	It-	2386.0660
1778		2386.2602	People don't realize- Cause that's the one thing. Once you get it, can't nobody take that away [from you.]	2390.4089
1779	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	2389.9053	[Exactly. Exactly.]	2391.9243
1780	DCB_int_01	2390.6700	[They can steal your phone.] They can steal your car. They can break into your house. But once you get that, they cannot take that out your [mind.]	2396.6047

1782		2397.2156	And I t- It's- It's funny. I look back at	2399.8314
1784		2400.3432	the group of girls that	2401.4623
1786		2401.7188	I used to run with.	2402.8006
1788		2403.4627	I was always that one that was on top of my game, making money.	2406.8608
1790		2407.3224	Now all of 'em surpassing me. <laugh> And I'm like, okay.	2410.5352
1792		2411.7335	It's time for me to get on my game.	2413.4623
1793	DCB_int_01	2413.6209	Talk about your friends a little bit, when you talk about the group of girls you used to run with.	2416.7963

1796		2418.6043	They were	2419.3877
1798		2420.7493	I was what they considered from the private homes.	2422.9642
1800		2423.2952	They was from the projects	2424.5449
1802		2424.8888	down in Simple City.	2425.9799
1804		2426.4229	I don't know if you heard it- [That's where they] grew up at.	2428.2927
1805	DCB_int_01	2427.0710	[Mm-hm.]	2427.5140
1806	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	2428.9548	But	2429.3698
1808		2429.7930	those were my homies. They still are. Those are my-	2432.3902
1810		2432.6933	Those are my girls!	2433.6632
1812		2434.0129	Even though we came from two separate sides of the track,	2436.1205
1814		2436.3572	that never	2437.0007
1816		2437.7841	was a barrier for us.	2439.2016
1818		2439.9430	You know, cause like I used to	2441.0015
1820		2441.2672	tell th- And I think they got a lot of their work ethics from me because they used to say, are you serious? You're still at work?	2446.6797
1822		2446.8289	Oh, uh-huh.	2447.4444
1823	DCB_int_01	2447.5422	<laugh>	2447.8719
1824	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	2448.1532	I'm not gonna sit at- Whatever has to happen is gonna happen after I get off of work, but I'm going to work. I will party	2453.5750

1829		2459.9096	So now- And they're the s-	2460.9401
1831		2461.0893	exact opposite. I mean, I'm still that way but you know, they that-	2464.1295
1833		2464.3486	the	2464.5445
1835		2464.9175	direct opposite, but I used to tell them all the- get- Get up off your butt! Do a job. Don't let no- Ain't no man gonna take care of you always.	2470.7823
1836	DCB_int_01	2470.9735	Mm-hm.	2471.3232
1837	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	2471.2533	That's gonna get tired after awhile,	2472.7021
1838		2473.0333	and don't no man want no woman that's just gonna sit home and do nothing all day.	2476.1994
1840		2476.8476	So by all means, get up.	2477.8501
1842		2478.0914	[Do what you got to do.] One of 'em is um,	2480.0545
1843	DCB_int_01	2478.1380	[/And do something/]	2478.7769

1852		2487.4860	Um,	2487.9430
1854		2488.4372	my best friend is now	2490.2418
1856		2490.7815	a GM for Lucky Strike.	2492.3902
1858		2493.3088	Um,	2494.8103
1860		2495.2439	those two are the only ones.	2496.3665
1862		2496.8375	Course my sister, she's in home health care.	2498.9778
1864		2499.9710	Um, my girlfriend Shawnie, I saw her	2502.3304
1866		2502.5717	work the system.	2503.5323
1868		2504.0685	She was a single mother of two	2506.0269
1870		2506.7776	on public assistance, but she used public assistance	2509.5742
1872		2509.9612	to the best of her ability.	2511.0990
1874		2511.5000	She started working-	2512.7321
1876		2512.8201	Her daughter might have been	2513.9807
1878		2514.7116	two at the time.	2515.7717
1880		2515.8962	Her youngest daughter was two at the time.	2517.4347
1882		2518.0922	And she did the welfare to work program.	2520.3386
1884		2521.1312	And she got	2521.6655
1886		2521.7901	a job	2522.3250
1888		2522.4166	at	2522.6731
1890		2522.8050	Virginia Hospital Center	2524.3533
1892		2524.8429	out in Virginia in the human resources department. She's now	2527.6815
1894		2528.1851	the human resources-	2529.4860
1896		2529.8078	Head of human resources over there.	2531.7848
1898		2532.1858	So	2532.5262
1900		2532.8282	the system,	2533.4437
1902		2533.6535	if you use it, it'll [work for you.]	2535.5373
1903	DCB_int_01	2534.6863	[Work. Mm-hm.]	2535.4667
1904		2535.5513	As a hand-	2536.1975
1905	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	2536.1715	And when I say she took advantage- And I think that's part of the reason why when I did have to go and sign up for TANF in January,	2542.6098
1906		2543.7289	I said, I can make it work for me.	2545.2059
1907	DCB_int_01	2545.5089	Mm-hmm.	2545.8447
1908	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	2545.8726	Cause the lady-	2546.5394
1910		2546.7539	I was feeling kind of bad about going because I'm like,	2549.2672
1912		2550.3106	Welfare, me?	2551.1312
1914		2551.2805	No! I'm not sup- It's a humbling experience because it makes you realize,	2555.2066
1916		2556.0366	you know,	2556.4236
1918		2557.8773	it's things that you need to change.	2559.3834
1920		2560.1621	It's things that you should have done better.	2561.8641
1922		2562.0448	Once again, the [hindsight] is always twenty twenty,	2564.0219
1923	DCB_int_01	2562.5950	[Hm.]	2562.8188
1924	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	2564.6607	but I was feeling some type of way because that	2566.7536
1926		2566.8489	wasn't	2567.2703
1928		2567.3655	the place where I should have been.	2568.8002
1930		2569.4483	I'm- I'm- Like I said, I've always been one to work. I've been working since I was	2572.6331
1932		2572.9828	seventeen, eighteen years old.	2574.4003
1933	DCB_int_01	2574.4971	Right.	2574.8748
1934	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	2574.9214	So, to have to go and do something like that, it opens your eyes to a whole lot.	2580.2546
1936		2580.7023	But the lady was like, /RD-NAME-3/,	2582.0685
1938		2582.2737	<ts>	2582.4695
1940		2582.5674	I know	2583.2762
1942		2583.6912	that	2584.2227
1944		2586.1754	you have a-	2586.6090
1946		2586.7162	y- you know, you have reservations about coming down here. She was like, but do you know that you're in the best predicament that you possibly can because	2592.9354
1948		2593.3691	TANF will pay for your four year degree.	2595.1643
1950		2597.3931	They will pay for it.	2598.4190
1952		2598.9747	They pay al- [an- uh-]	2600.4342
1953	DCB_int_01	2599.8000	[I did not] know that.	2600.6440
1954	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	2600.7140	Yes!	2601.1896
1956		2601.7072	You- They give you five years to be on the system,	2603.9022
1958		2604.9607	and	2605.3011
1960		2605.6368	if you can obtain a four a year degree within those five years,	2607.9356
1962		2608.2527	they're-	2608.6491
1964		2608.8263	they will pay for it as long as it's an accredited school within the District of Columbia.	2612.9238
1966		2613.3108	So you can go to Howard. You can go to Trinity. You can go to UDC. You can go to GW. You can go to Georgetown.	2618.3782
1968		2618.8678	They will pay for it.	2620.3320
1969	DCB_int_01	2620.8216	Amen! I love that.	2622.3918
1970	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	2622.4012	I- You love it? I love it too.	2624.1591
1971	DCB_int_01	2624.7513	I love that.	2625.9123
1972	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	2626.3553	[Yes.]	2626.9801
1973	DCB_int_01	2626.3553	[Um],	2626.9801
1974		2627.4919	yes m'am? Can we help you?	2628.6670
1976		2629.1985	[I mean- I mean we're almost done. Can-] Thank you. Thank you. It's not your turn.	2632.4999
1978		2633.8323	Yes.	2634.3779

1981	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	2636.6394	But yeah-	2636.9704
1982	DCB_int_01	2636.9005	See, she come in here messing with [my stuff.]	2638.7936
1983	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	2637.8844	[<laugh>] Yeah, but they pay for it.	2639.9629
1984	DCB_int_01	2640.8208	<ts> I did not know that.	2642.4155
1985	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	2642.5927	And they-	2643.2502
1987		2643.4227	while they are paying for it,	2644.7656
1989		2644.9417	they will pay you	2646.2473
1991		2646.6110	to go to school.	2647.5482
1992	DCB_int_01	2648.4901	So you in a- That's a good situation [to be in.]	2651.5945
1993	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	2650.8531	[How-]	2651.5991
1994		2652.3219	And after she said that, it made me feel a little bit [better.]	2654.6953
1995	DCB_int_01	2654.3363	[Better.]	2654.7326
1996	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	2655.1184	Um,	2655.4927
1998		2655.6186	how they do it now,	2656.8356
2000		2657.9209	they make you	2658.9607
2002		2659.3244	go to job readiness class.	2661.0590
2003	DCB_int_01	2661.6372	Oh, excuse me.	2662.3087
2004	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	2662.2900	They make- It's okay.	2663.0547

2015		2674.5174	Depending upon where you score at on the assessment,	2676.5923
2017		2676.8395	they'll tell you you need skill classes [to get up] to par	2680.3133

2019	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	2680.6992	or you're ready	2681.4313
2021		2682.1354	to go to work.	2683.0633
2023		2683.4503	So, and then they assign you a vendor.	2685.3388
2025		2685.5813	So, if you go to the vendor for at least thirty hours a week,	2688.7669
2027		2689.0773	they give you extra seventy five dollars in a-	2690.9145
2029		2691.0683	a week in addition to the monthly stipend that they already give you.	2694.5504
2031		2695.7534	All you got to do is get off your lazy butt and go [do it.]	2697.5719
2032	DCB_int_01	2697.2642	[And go] to work.	2697.9123
2033	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	2698.2667	They hadn't even assigned me to a vendor but guess what? I was getting up going to-	2701.5837
2035		2701.7188	um-	2702.2990
2037		2702.9937	What is the name of it?	2703.9636

2041		2705.4686	the-	2705.7064
2043		2706.2939	program I was going to.	2707.4830
2045		2708.0845	That extra seventy five dollars came in handy.	2710.0615
2046	DCB_int_01	2710.0802	Mm-hm.	2710.5465
2047	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	2710.7365	That's gas.	2711.4899
2048	DCB_int_01	2711.5012	I was just- Cause gas is ex-	2712.7695
2050		2712.9934	[/It ain't cheap./]	2714.0565
2051	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	2713.1845	[Yeah, that- I mean],	2714.2244
2052		2714.4062	and I'm like, okay.	2715.6699
2054		2717.0909	How can y'all not take advantage of this?	2719.3711
2055	DCB_int_01	2719.2218	Mm-hm.	2719.6741
2056	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	2720.8166	And then even when I started going to UDC, as long as I had somebody sign off on my time sheets over there at the Work Force Development building,	2727.1150
2058		2727.4227	I was still getting my money.	2728.3413
2060		2729.8230	And that's how they do it.	2730.8908
2062		2731.6555	And	2732.0145
2064		2732.1591	when I say people they don't take advantage of it,	2734.4579
2066		2734.6491	they don't at [all.]	2736.4431
2067	DCB_int_01	2736.2240	[And it's] to better themselves.	2737.5576
2068	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	2737.5716	Yeah, and then the- the thing about it is they have	2740.2341
2070		2740.3868	different locations to do the Work Force Development. I went to PR Har- Over- PR Harris over on South Capitol Street,	2746.6106

2074		2749.6638	East Capitol Street at the old Shadd Elementary school.	2752.0988
2075	DCB_int_01	2753.1282	So it's not even like you got to go anywhere out the [way.]	2755.6601
2076	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	2755.2228	[<ts> And when] I say they offer so many things,	2757.9776

2118		2800.2003	I- I just don't get it.	2801.2867
2120		2802.0887	And [then not only] do they offer classes during the day, but they offer classes at night [too.]	2806.3040

2167		2852.7606	Word and it's another one that I'm good with (whispered)-	2854.7750
2169		2854.9137	But as far as	2856.2006
2171		2856.8628	Power Point and Excel, I'm not good with but they offer all of those in one class.	2861.1142
2173		2861.4592	And once you complete the class, they give you a free computer.	2864.0472
2175		2865.0916	What more can you ask [for.]	2866.5651
2176	DCB_int_01	2866.2154	[For.]	2866.5511
2177		2866.7412	Right, [and now you know what to] do-	2868.0328
2178	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	2867.0349	[You going to school-]	2867.7717
2180		2868.0281	You going to school [for free], and they gonna give you a free computer.	2870.4855
2181	DCB_int_01	2868.6809	[Yeah.]	2869.0586
2182	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	2871.4460	Take advantage of it.	2872.2620
2183	DCB_int_01	2872.4241	That's great.	2873.2168
2185		2873.6364	That is great. And how long is the class?	2875.2591
2186	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	2875.7301	Six weeks.	2876.4622
2187	DCB_int_01	2877.0264	That is nothing.	2877.8937
2189		2879.1235	That is no- How often? Is like, once a week, twice a week?	2881.9213
2190	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	2882.1870	When I did the beginners one and two-	2884.0848
2192		2884.2562	I did that just to	2885.0069
2194		2885.1935	do something cause I knew all the stuff (laughing).	2887.0819
2196		2887.5576	Um,	2887.9725
2198		2888.6020	we went on Mondays- Mondays and Wednesdays.	2891.2261
2199	DCB_int_01	2891.4686	So just twice a week. That is [good.]	2893.4363
2200	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	2893.0353	[I did] that. I did my-	2894.5041
2201		2894.6440	on Mondays and Wednesdays I did that class, and then	2897.1841
2203		2897.6924	Monday though Thursday,	2899.0959
2205		2899.9119	we were in-	2900.8259
2207		2901.3155	I was in my class at UDC.	2902.6526
2209		2902.8531	I would go to one from UDC from nine to one,	2904.8395
2211		2905.2638	and then-	2905.7534
2213		2906.3316	No, nine to twelve, and then at one o'clock, my computer class would start so I'd go from one to three to that.	2910.8861
2215		2911.3151	That's my day.	2912.1124
2216	DCB_int_01	2912.5181	Mm-hm.	2912.9844
2217	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	2913.3434	Other than that, I be just sitting in the house looking crazy.	2915.5945
2218	DCB_int_01	2915.9675	And the good thing about that is	2917.5762
2220		2917.6695	most jobs,	2918.6393
2222		2918.9518	basic financial stuff, is Excel.	2920.7458
2224		2921.2028	Most- When you give presentations, that's [Power Point.]	2923.5482
2225	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	2922.8814	[Power Point.]	2923.3990
2226	DCB_int_01	2923.7534	And then if you can type-	2924.6906
2228		2925.0823	You know what I mean? Like, you can run	2926.9090
2229	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	2926.9090	Mm-hm.	2927.3707
2230	DCB_int_01	2927.3846	the- You can manage the office or manage the business because those are your basic things. You got to be able to sell and market your product [and be able to] present about it.	2934.9234
2231	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	2933.5152	[Mm-hm.]	2934.1307
2232	DCB_int_01	2935.2405	You got to make sure your books are right,	2936.6580
2234		2936.9191	and you got to just make sure you report- Do you know what I [mean?]	2939.0721
2235	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	2938.8344	[Mm-hm.]	2939.2494
2236	DCB_int_01	2939.3427	And that's great- I didn't know about that serv- That is awesome.	2942.1824
2238		2942.5041	And people don't take adv- Like you said. And sometimes I think it's ignorance and sometimes it's laziness. Sometimes they just don't know it's there,	2947.9166
2240		2948.1264	but sometimes they know and they're just like, uh, I don't care, and that's the ones that really make me mad.	2952.2100
2241	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	2952.2100	And then the thing about it is,	2953.4909
2242		2953.5775	a lot of the times	2954.6300
2244		2955.4414	the city won't let the people know about these [programs. You got to go and research] it for [yourself, but-]	2959.5809
2245	DCB_int_01	2957.2494	[Mm, that's- Mm-hm.]	2958.4338
2247		2959.0959	[Yourself.]	2959.4550
2248	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	2960.1124	And not everybody is gonna do the research.	2962.1921
2250		2962.5127	You have some that you have to take by the hand	2964.7182
2252		2965.0959	[and lead 'em] to [it.]	2966.1264
2253	DCB_int_01	2965.0959	[Mm.]	2965.5342
2255		2965.9166	[Mm-hm.]	2966.3969
2256	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	2966.4342	And-	2966.6953
2258		2966.9191	And once you lead it to 'em, it's left up to them whether or not they gonna take it-	2970.1508
2260		2970.2478	Some will, some [won't.]	2971.4561
2261	DCB_int_01	2971.2125	[Mm.]	2971.4969
2262	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	2972.6720	I know I did.	2973.3220
2264		2973.3913	I- I did the research cause I-	2974.8461
2266		2974.9362	I-	2975.1189
2268		2975.3660	Sitting at home was not a [option] for me,	2977.1426
2269	DCB_int_01	2976.4230	[Option.]	2976.7522
2270		2977.5296	[Kudos to you.]	2978.4342
2271	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	2977.6088	[and plus]	2978.2290
2273		2978.3922	um-	2978.9051
2274		2980.3087	It was a dramatic effect on /RD-NAME-1/, too.	2982.8255
2275	DCB_int_01	2982.9980	Mm.	2983.3664
2276	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	2983.8746	When he would see me- okay, Mommy just throwing on something to take me back-	2986.7983
2278		2987.0256	take me to school, and she coming back home so I'm'a act up in school so I can go back home with her.	2990.9051
2280		2991.3947	No.	2991.8144
2281	DCB_int_01	2992.4194	[Mm.]	2992.8857
2282	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	2992.4521	[It's] not gonna happen.	2993.6737
2283	DCB_int_01	2993.7017	[Mm-hm.]	2994.1214
2284	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	2993.9209	[Cause he] was used to Mommy getting up, dropping him off at school. She going to work, come back and picking him up, not going home.	2999.0489
2285		2999.4359	So once he saw that	3001.1286
2287		3001.7581	I was back doing some of the regular routines, he got a little bit	3004.8962
2289		3005.1608	you know, [better of it because]	3006.3265
2290	DCB_int_01	3005.6038	[Mm-hm.]	3005.9862
2291	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	3006.6343	our situation	3007.5156
2293		3007.9772	can have a dramatic effect on our children	3009.9543
2295		3010.3914	in so many ways. You might think-	3012.2706
2297		3012.5550	Well I- at least I thought,	3013.7860
2299		3014.1731	he's not paying attention to me. [You know, he's l-]	3016.1828
2300	DCB_int_01	3015.6092	[Oh. <gasp>]	3016.5080
2301	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	3016.5080	But he	3017.0207
2302		3017.1420	[clearly was.]	3018.4280
2303	DCB_int_01	3017.3893	[Every little thing.]	3018.8162
2304	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	3018.8768	He clearly was, and I was like, okay. I got to do something about this.	3022.9382
2306		3023.4872	[And I did.]	3024.1960
2307	DCB_int_01	3023.5199	[Mm.]	3023.9545
2308	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	3024.5783	Cause that's my baby. He my only baby. <laugh>	3026.7326
2309	DCB_int_01	3027.0170	Oh, he Momma's little [boy.]	3028.9976
2310	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	3028.8158	[And] I'm not- I knew when I was pregnant with him, I wasn't having any more kids.	3031.8093
2311	DCB_int_01	3031.9586	You're done?	3032.4761
2312	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	3032.6207	Uh-uh.	3032.9191
2313	DCB_int_01	3033.3201	<laugh> [I have] one. I understand. [I understand.]	3036.4851
2314	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	3034.2935	[If-]	3034.6899

2318	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	3038.4482	[do you know-]	3039.5300
2319		3040.0102	They gonna tell me, no, we can't do that cause you only have [one and] you're [not married.]	3043.9213
2320	DCB_int_01	3042.7975	[One.]	3043.1053
2322		3043.3058	[Mm-hm.]	3043.8886
2323	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	3044.6580	I know what I'm'a have. <laugh> Let me have my moment	3048.9467
2325		3049.3104	cause he came early, and the lady when they were wheeling me in the d- labor and delivery room,	3052.9510

2620		3456.8395	[Oh I'm sorry], we doing a microwave meal? Oh, [mm-mm.] Mommy, I'm on my way. Thanks.	3460.8904
2621	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	3458.9611	[Mm-mm.]	3459.4367
2622	DCB_int_01	3461.2168	Um, okay.	3461.9908
2624		3462.2240	Last thing, what's your favorite television show and why?	3464.5321
2625	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	3468.0981	I'm trying to think.	3469.0679
2627		3470.2710	What is it- Something that I-	3471.6559
2629		3472.4007	<laugh>	3472.8064
2630	DCB_int_01	3473.1980	Or your favorite book.	3474.0980
2631	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	3474.7554	My favorite book-	3475.4829
2633		3476.1730	I have a favorite TV show too. But [my favorite] book is The Coldest Winter Ever	3479.5617
2634	DCB_int_01	3477.3014	[Oh.]	3477.6604
2635	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	3479.8975	by um, Sister Souljah.	3481.5248
2636	DCB_int_01	3482.8258	Somebody just recommended I read that- It was [like a week ago.]	3485.5804
2637	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	3484.6338	[Aw!]	3485.2680
2638		3485.7902	[I have read it-]	3486.7741
2639	DCB_int_01	3485.7949	[I have never read it.]	3486.7927
2640	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	3486.9420	I mean so many	3489.2408
2642		3489.6698	times.	3490.4531
2644		3490.9183	It's just the plight of this little black girl that	3493.0818
2646		3493.5155	was used to having it all, but then her family lost it all, and she had to get out there and fend for herself.	3499.0119
2648		3499.5248	When I say good read? Aw, yes.	3501.7350
2650		3502.1360	That one and um,	3503.8042
2652		3504.4384	<ts>	3504.6668
2654		3505.4968	a book by Tracy Brown called White Lines.	3507.9122
2656		3508.3494	That book is [good too.]	3509.6410
2657	DCB_int_01	3508.9369	[/Do I know that?/ (whispered)]	3510.0951
2658		3510.4990	That sounds so familiar.	3511.8046
2659	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	3511.8279	I read [that-]	3512.7372
2660	DCB_int_01	3512.1916	[What's that about?]	3512.7838
2661	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	3512.9377	Um, it was about a girl	3514.4018
2663		3514.8530	that g- I think she grew up from not having anything and then she ended up	3518.3222
2665		3518.9983	marrying someone that was big in a gang.	3521.4452
2667		3522.1819	And it talked about the trials and tribulations through all of that.	3524.9330
2669		3525.5532	I used to- Before I had /RD-NAME-1/, I mean,	3527.0860
2671		3527.3519	I was reading two or three books a week.	3528.9979
2673		3529.6880	Um,	3530.0284
2675		3530.2056	my favorite movie is The Color Purple.	3531.8236
2677		3533.4592	<sneeze>	3533.9208
2679		3534.4897	/RD-NAME-1/ [likes that] too	3535.4083
2680	DCB_int_01	3534.7694	[Woo-woo.]	3535.1751
2681	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	3535.6274	cause he watched it, and he embarrassed me in the store one day. He was about	3539.1561
2683		3539.3426	three.	3539.6876
2685		3540.3311	Mom, we gonna go home and watch Purple Color? [<laugh>]	3544.9800
2686	DCB_int_01	3542.9936	[<laugh>]	3545.0686
2687	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	3545.1980	You don't (whispered) tell people we- I ain't got you watching (whispered) [Color Purple.]	3547.6787
2688	DCB_int_01	3547.4697	[<laugh>]	3548.9050
2689	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	3547.9725	[<laugh>]	3548.9050
2690		3550.1081	<ts> But, The Color Purple,	3551.3519
2692		3551.8742	and I like	3553.0166
2694		3553.9678	the little drama shows.	3555.3154
2696		3555.5532	I like Love and Hiphop.	3556.7749
2698		3557.0022	That- I mean, just to see their ratchetness and their drama.	3560.2196
2700		3560.8864	Love and Hiphop. I like Empire.	3562.9800
2702		3563.5384	I haven't watched any of the season of Power this year. I started watching it last night, but I like Power.	3568.4624
2704		3568.8343	But for the- I like cooking shows.	3570.4290
2705	DCB_int_01	3570.7275	Mm.	3571.0026
2706	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	3571.8652	Cooking shows or,	3572.9470
2708		3573.1335	I'm a Tyler Perry fanatic.	3574.4718
2710		3575.3892	I wake up on a Saturday, and I'm looking for his movies. I don't care if it's I Can Do Bad All By Myself, Daddy's Little Girl.	3581.9394
2712		3582.3451	You name it,	3583.0306
2714		3583.1378	if it's him, I'm gonna watch it.	3584.8211
2716		3585.4832	Um-	3585.8842
2717	DCB_int_01	3585.8936	I just did a project on Meet the Browns, the play? [I did] a project on [Brown and] Will,	3590.6999
2718	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	3588.3218	[Uh-huh.]	3588.6715
2720		3589.5994	[<cough> <cough>]	3590.3082
2721	DCB_int_01	3591.1428	[um],	3591.5159
2722	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	3591.2081	[Mm-hm.]	3591.5066
2723	DCB_int_01	3591.7257	and their interaction in the movie. It was- It was actually- Cause it made me look at it differently.	3595.6311
2724	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	3595.6600	Mm-hm.	3596.0517
2725	DCB_int_01	3595.9911	Like studying it versus like, I'm just watching this hanging out with my friends and we [laughing] about it.	3600.2798
2726	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	3599.5291	[Right.]	3599.9348
2727	DCB_int_01	3600.7508	But it was like, so funny cause as I was presenting like, a lot of my classmates hadn't seen it, so I'm presenting and their like, huh?	3605.8881
2729		3606.2938	What? And they busting out laughing, and I'm like,	3608.3408
2731		3608.8444	oh cause you haven't ever seen this before.	3610.5639
2733		3610.8996	Cracking up.	3611.4965
2734	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	3611.5198	I remember- That was one of the memories I have	3613.7347
2736		3614.0657	before my mom passed. We went to go see Meet the Browns at Warner Theater.	3617.2307
2737	DCB_int_01	3617.2680	Mm! Mm-hm.	3617.9960
2738	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	3618.0047	Uh-huh.	3618.5689
2740		3619.0912	That and-	3619.5854
2742		3619.8139	I'm trying to think, cause it was something that I did the other day and I was like, I remember when me and-	3623.4032
2744		3623.7483	I remember- My mother is the one that took me to see The Color Purple	3626.2056
2745	DCB_int_01	3627.5952	[Wow.]	3628.3086
2746	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	3627.6045	[when it first came] out in nineteen eighty five. <laugh>	3630.1353
2747	DCB_int_01	3630.5726	Wow.	3631.0439
2749		3631.1285	So how- You were what?	3632.1543
2751		3632.3315	Eleven? Ten?	3633.1475
2753		3633.5019	When it first came out.	3634.2899
2754	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	3634.7877	How old am I now?	3635.6317
2756		3635.7949	I'm forty two now? Yeah.	3636.9559
2758		3637.1798	It was about that.	3637.7673
2759	DCB_int_01	3638.3735	Mm-hm.	3639.0822
2760	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	3639.0822	Yeah, I was actually- No,	3640.7142
2761		3641.0721	I was twelve	3641.9021
2763		3642.3591	when it came out.	3643.0352
2764	DCB_int_01	3643.2357	Oh, so that's like a very r- Cause Celie was like,	3645.4180
2766		3645.6931	in the- the first part of it, she's about eleven, twelve.	3648.8534
2767	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	3648.9280	Mm-hm. I love The Color Purple.	3650.5460
2768	DCB_int_01	3650.7698	Where'd you first see it? Did y'all go to the movies to [see it?]	3652.7830
2769	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	3652.4100	[We went to] a movie theater up in Georgetown. I remember it was like,	3655.5062
2770		3655.7673	like it was yesterday.	3657.0263
2772		3657.3900	Cause my mother- That was my ace. We did our shopping together.	3661.0865
2774		3661.8512	She taught me how to cook,	3663.5345
2776		3663.8003	even though my dad did too, but she taught me how to cook.	3665.9301
2778		3666.6342	She just taught me how to be a lady.	3667.8932
2780		3668.5880	Some days it work, somedays it don't. [<laugh>]	3672.6342
2781	DCB_int_01	3670.7224	[/Amen/]	3671.1747
2783		3671.3426	[You know, we all have them days.] [We have 'em- Honey, I] understand.	3674.4201
2784	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	3672.9093	[Mm-hm.]	3673.7720
2786		3674.3968	But like I tell any of these kids out here nowadays,	3677.0860
2787		3677.3706	you have to be versatile	3678.7181
2788	DCB_int_01	3678.9233	Mm-hm.	3679.3057
2789	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	3679.5295	in your interaction with anybody.	3681.3527
2790	DCB_int_01	3681.4180	Yup.	3681.7397
2791	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	3681.7584	You have to get out here and be lily white with the best of 'em.	3684.2565
2793		3684.9559	And you can- It's okay for you to be ratchet and ghetto fabulous with your girlfriends but there's a time and a place for it.	3689.8229
2794	DCB_int_01	3690.0980	That's the key, the time and place. And knowing how	3692.7512
2796		3693.0682	cause guess what? As much as they playing the game,	3695.0860
2798		3695.6737	we got to play the game too. And the problem is we don't realize that we getting played, and then we get [messed up.]	3700.9241
2799	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	3700.2153	[But you know the] sad part about it is,	3702.2285
2800		3702.9280	it's our own kind that- that	3704.4667
2802		3705.1475	that	3705.3807
2804		3705.6464	gets us	3706.3832
2806		3706.6898	because I worked at the /RD-WORK-2/ in Croften. I was doing my training there,	3710.6905
2808		3711.8563	and	3712.3552
2810		3712.6198	the manager, she was	3713.8135
2812		3714.0001	of African American descent, and	3715.9725
2814		3718.1967	she was one of those ones that thought that she- Because she worked out in Croften, and she lived in that area- in Annapolis area, whatever, that she was a little bit better than	3725.8042
2816		3726.0747	you know,	3726.4011
2817	DCB_int_01	3726.4850	[Mm-hm.]	3726.9699
2818	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	3726.7648	[I] was.	3727.3383
2819		3728.0937	So, I had a customer that came in-	3730.1687
2821		3730.3785	Rules are rules.	3731.3146
2823		3731.6643	You know?	3732.1539
2824	DCB_int_01	3732.7508	/??/	3733.0772
2825	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	3733.0632	It all depends upon	3734.4201
2826		3734.6719	when-	3735.2501
2828		3735.7024	You know, sometimes we can bend 'em, sometimes we can't.	3737.8835
2829	DCB_int_01	3738.0047	Mm-hm.	3738.2938
2830	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	3738.2845	But this lady had clearly	3739.7486
2831		3739.9864	worn whatever it was. We couldn't take it back.	3742.0381
2833		3742.6991	So then the manager comes over and was like, I'll take her.	3745.3523
2835		3745.9258	So she took her, and she ended up taking the stuff back.	3747.9903
2837		3748.1629	First of all, you went against what I had already told her.	3750.5176
2839		3751.1891	We in management, we got to stick together.	3752.9190
2840	DCB_int_01	3753.0403	Mm-hm.	3753.4506
2841	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	3753.4040	So if I tell her no, you need to tell her the exact same thing. I don't care if you're the store manager or not.	3757.5295
2842	DCB_int_01	3757.7300	Right.	3758.0937
2843	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	3758.4574	But then she came back over, and she was like-	3760.6618
2845		3761.1747	<ts> Yeah, she aksed me were you from DC?	3763.3150
2847		3765.1242	I said,	3766.0101
2849		3766.8810	And how would she know anything like that?	3768.7788
2851		3769.7393	She said, she could tell that you was from Southeast DC.	3772.1930
2853		3772.2727	I said, you lying.	3773.2866
2855		3774.3824	Because I know one- No way, shape, form, or fashion ever came out my mouth with anything slang	3779.6037
2857		3780.2705	or anything hood.	3781.2124
2859		3781.3430	I know how to present myself in front of anybody.	3783.2011
2861		3783.2905	You had to have said something to her	3785.0675
2863		3785.4918	cause you're the only one that I know have a problem with it.	3787.9585
2864	DCB_int_01	3788.1730	Mm-hm.	3788.7279
2865	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	3789.2175	And needless to say, a week later I quit.	3791.2307
2867		3791.5804	I couldn't do it.	3792.4057
2869		3793.8186	Because we got to support each other. We got to be there for each other. We-	3796.8308
2871		3797.0022	If we don't uplift each other,	3798.6902
2873		3799.2497	[nobody else is gonna do it]!	3800.7139
2874	DCB_int_01	3799.4735	[Mm-hm. Nobody else is gonna] do it. Right. It starts within.	3802.1827
2875	DCB_se1_ag3_f_01	3802.1454	That's why when /RD-NAME-3/ called me and was like, do you mind doing it? I said, not at all, especially if it's has- has anything with	3807.6744
2876		3807.9029	somebody furthering their education.	3809.9068
2878		3810.6622	I have no problem with it at all. [So if you need me again, let me know.]	3814.4955
2879	DCB_int_01	3812.7139	[Well I really appreciate it.]	3814.4531
