71		108.4964	Let's see, when I was young,	110.7353
73		111.5408	I lived with my grandparents up until	113.3479
75		114.4831	maybe five years old.	116.7554
77		116.9622	Maybe up to about five years old.	118.3149
79		118.9723	And then went to live with my dad in Maryland for a while.	121.0706
81		121.4343	<ts>	121.5276

96		136.3055	<ts>	136.3755
98		136.5573	It was safer,	137.3920
100		138.7955	because	139.7001
102		140.3471	we didn't have all this stuff going [on, you] know.	142.9304
103	DCB_int_01	141.9325	[Mm-hm.]	142.4170
104	DCB_se1_ag3_f_03	143.3360	And then,	143.8396
106		144.8468	I like the,	145.6628
108		146.1105	what is it? Take a village to raise a child, [so everybody] knew everybody's kid so.	149.9811
109	DCB_int_01	147.7964	[Mm.]	148.0351
110	DCB_se1_ag3_f_03	150.3522	You know, if you got in trouble by the time you got home,	152.1478

116		154.9250	yeah, uh-huh, found out you did /such and such/, but.	157.3784
118		157.6955	It was pretty much safe. Um, we could stay outside until the street lights came on and,	161.9451
120		162.6836	you know, didn't have to worry about anything.	164.2690
122		164.7586	But my-	165.1689
124		166.1563	my years, growing up in DC was fun.	168.4690
125	DCB_int_01	169.1359	So you grew up at a time-	171.1724
127		172.7672	so, right after the riots?	175.1029
128	DCB_se1_ag3_f_03	175.1964	Probably yeah.	176.0359
129	DCB_int_01	176.4777	Um,	176.8922
131		177.0757	but when you were small did that seem to affect- did you-	179.2894
133		179.5226	did you [feel that?]	180.4878
134	DCB_se1_ag3_f_03	179.8676	[I don't-]	180.3214

139	DCB_se1_ag3_f_03	184.5200	No.	184.8156
140	DCB_int_01	185.3069	So when you say it was safe, you felt like-	187.2886
142		187.7595	like did you play game, did you stay [outside with your fr- Tell me about your friends, or] what y'all did in the neighborhood.	192.3793
143	DCB_se1_ag3_f_03	189.3126	[Yeah, we stay outside.]	191.0242
144		192.6125	We- Okay this was like	194.2507
146		194.9812	maybe- especially like in the summer time so,	196.7438
148		198.4679	our day would consist of, you get up in the morning, you eat your breakfast about nine,	201.8731

237		296.9422	<clears throat>	297.5437
239		299.0766	especially when you were a little bit older, this [might have] been like, late seventies early eighties,	303.3851
240	DCB_se1_ag3_f_03	300.9640	[Mm.]	301.2080
241	DCB_int_01	303.7723	did you see any of,	304.8353
243		305.4368	um,	305.7760
245		306.0424	when the drugs started to come in, or the neighborhood started to change a little bit?	309.5297
246	DCB_se1_ag3_f_03	309.6556	Well when I was- um, I wanna say like maybe the early eighties,	314.5831
248		314.9655	by that time,	315.7442
250		316.0195	my mom was living in Southeast so,	317.7585
252		318.4920	I lived with her	319.9303
254		320.7743	out there for,	321.8794
256		322.7653	most of my whole	323.6337
258		324.4009	middle school	325.0630
260		325.7298	term. So that- I guess that's like three years.	327.9074
262		328.5555	And that's when you started seeing	330.0010
264		330.7646	a lot of changes, as far as like, you know, the drugs and stuff like that. Um,	334.7793
266		336.2686	<ts>	336.3436
268		336.8485	I wanna say as far as like the killings, when I moved back with my grandparents,	340.3503
270		340.7516	in the late eighties, that's when all the- I wanna say like around eighty	344.2451
272		344.6016	seven, eighty-eight that's when	346.0966
274		346.4949	a lot of murders started taking place. Um, cause I guess the drug game started getting real heavy and [stuff.]	351.4970
275	DCB_int_01	351.1520	[Mm], mm-hm.	351.9633
276	DCB_se1_ag3_f_03	352.7280	<ts>	352.7887
278		352.9006	And	353.4042
280		353.9236	started losing	354.6900
282		355.0699	friends around that time, male friends anyway	357.6369
284		358.1359	around ti- around that time.	359.7073
286		360.3915	So,	360.8812
288		361.9816	<exhale> I'm'a say it was dangerous, but it's not	364.2539
290		364.8213	as da- it wasn't as dangerous as it is now. It's like	367.7414
292		369.1193	the kids,	369.8607
294		370.1079	they're just like, out of control.	371.5627
296		372.7739	When we were coming up, we were taught to respect our elders, regardless.	376.8493
298		377.3135	Even in high school,	378.3891
300		378.8765	you never-	379.5526
302		379.8184	Like, if I go to these high schools now, cause I do my fitness,	382.6617
304		383.2782	<ts>	383.3424
306		383.6082	and	384.1901
308		384.8485	it's the way that the kids just talk to the- the faculty.	387.6929
310		388.2851	Like,	388.6970
312		388.9892	you know, they curse at 'em within their conversations, like they're cursing using curse words, but that's	392.8955
314		393.1846	like a casual conversation. And I'm just looking at the teachers like, you really let them talk to y'all like	397.1842
316		397.6412	that? And,	398.2754
318		398.8955	I mean, it's just like	400.0006
320		400.7187	crazy.	401.3073
322		402.0232	And I just look back on my time when I was in high school,	404.4501
324		405.3945	we ain't never do that.	406.3457
326		406.8260	We were focused.	407.8305
328		408.0791	I mean, we would come to school, we'd wanna dress up.	410.2427
330		411.0214	You know, we had,	412.0239
332		412.4996	our mind on what we gonna do,	414.0989
334		414.1966	you know, when we get ready get out of high school.	416.5245
336		416.8862	Um,	417.5250
338		417.9866	I mean, we had fun,	419.3482
340		419.8367	and it-	420.2330
342		420.4662	we didn't have to use curse words, we didn't have- you know, disrespect our-	423.1939
344		423.4001	our- our teachers, our adults like that.	425.5067
346		425.8600	Even getting on the bus,	426.9977
348		427.6505	you know, back then,	428.5738
350		428.9655	you know, we'd be loud and stuff, but we would never be	431.0405
352		431.4131	disrespectful.	432.2015
354		433.0070	I'm scared to even catch	434.0795
356		434.5458	the- the metro,	435.6276
358		436.0846	the bus,	436.7677
360		436.9603	or whatever.	437.6140
362		438.4475	And I have a ten year old and I'm like, I'll be taking you to school all the way up into high school	442.4856
364		443.6595	because it's- it's dangerous.	445.4970
365	DCB_int_01	445.4713	It is. Especially recently.	447.4411
366		447.7370	There's been s- I- and I don't watch the news for this reason, there's been so many things,	451.5291
368		451.6897	and I don't take public transportation if I can help it.	454.2384
369	DCB_se1_ag3_f_03	454.6814	[<sigh>]	455.2550
370	DCB_int_01	454.6861	[So many] things.	456.0896
371	DCB_se1_ag3_f_03	456.2736	I'm just like, oh my god you got females getting raped on the train.	459.8374
373		460.1638	I'm like, where they do that?	461.1016
375		461.2686	How does this stuff	462.1869
377		462.4534	occurring? Like,	463.6459
379		464.5784	it's just crazy. And a lot of /'em/ are these young	467.5441
381		468.8905	black males doing this.	470.6035
383		470.7030	Um,	471.2266
385		471.8095	even some of the young girls are like, out of control.	474.0943
386	DCB_int_01	474.5314	Mm-hm.	475.0988
387	DCB_se1_ag3_f_03	475.1050	You know, I'm just like-	476.3177
389		477.4784	You know, my friends and I often talk about trying to, you know,	479.8984
391		480.8438	do like, you know, some kind of mentoring	482.6484
393		482.9515	program or s- you know, something like that to try to reach these kids cause it is just-	486.7273
395		487.6738	it's awful.	488.1634
397		489.0820	It's [awful and scary] and I'm scared for my child.	491.2969
398	DCB_int_01	489.4672	[Control.]	489.8654
399		492.2377	So let's go back. Like, you talked about-	494.3530
401		494.5738	<clears throat> Because I- as you're-	496.0100
403		496.1929	now that you're in the schools,	497.5287
404	DCB_se1_ag3_f_03	497.6828	[Mm-hm.]	498.1580
405	DCB_int_01	497.8466	[let's talk] a little bit about	499.1796
406		500.4992	going-	501.0774
408		501.6696	comparing what you did,	503.0405
410		503.2923	now and then.	504.3636
412		504.6573	So you said you moved to Southeast for a while. So tell me a little bit- before we talk about school, tell me a little bit about the difference between	510.1412
414		510.6340	living in Uptown and then living in [Southeast.]	513.2965
415	DCB_se1_ag3_f_03	512.8379	[It was a] big [difference.]	514.8126
416	DCB_int_01	514.4688	[<laugh>]	515.7686
417	DCB_se1_ag3_f_03	516.3822	I so love Uptown.	518.0842
419		518.5939	I don't know, Uptowns is like-	520.1405
421		520.9985	I mean, I wanna say both	522.1625
423		522.3962	sides had their, you know, similar issues, but Uptowns is more	525.7305
425		526.4436	calmer.	527.0778
427		527.6362	I don't wanna say uppity cause they would say Uptowns like uppity, or whatever.	530.5784
429		530.9150	But, um,	531.7434
431		533.0719	Southeast is just a little rough. And in the area I lived in, I lived-	536.5971
433		537.2359	I- I lived on, uh,	538.7793
435		539.1710	where was that? /RD-ADDRESS-5/.	540.6247
437		540.9479	<ts>	541.0475
439		541.1374	So I was in between-	542.5007
441		543.4224	We were	543.9232
443		544.0837	not	544.5146
445		544.9705	too far from where like, all the	546.6760
447		547.2080	drug stuff happens. I wanna say maybe a block away,	550.3550
449		550.6907	you go up the hill, you make that left turn,	552.7879
451		553.2169	bam, you right in it.	554.2987
452	DCB_int_01	554.3686	Mm.	554.6857
453	DCB_se1_ag3_f_03	555.8328	Um,	556.4164
455		557.7854	yeah I've seen a lot of stuff living /over to/ Southeast (laughing).	560.0189
457		560.5132	Just a lot of-	561.2219
459		561.5810	Yeah,	561.9866
461		562.5602	it was way different,	563.5476
463		564.1024	way different. Um,	565.4360
465		567.7582	yeah, I- Uptowns is l- a lot more calmer.	569.9878
466	DCB_int_01	570.7926	Did you play outside and stuff like you did- Well, you were [older then.]	573.4411
467	DCB_se1_ag3_f_03	572.6420	[Well-]	573.3198
468		573.6882	yeah we were older, but	574.8026
470		575.4123	we did.	575.9493
472		576.1066	We'd stay out in our front-	577.6412
474		578.2287	like in the front yard,	579.1461
476		579.4127	um, in the building where we lived in.	581.0591
478		581.4928	Um,	582.0337
480		582.7273	and that was it, no further. But like, when I lived Uptown, we can go all over.	586.1079
481	DCB_int_01	586.5269	Mm-hm.	586.8522
482	DCB_se1_ag3_f_03	587.7900	And /we/ didn't have to worry about anything. You know, I'll tell, grandma we going such and such place.	591.8141
484		592.1545	Alright,	592.6778
486		593.5067	you know.	594.2049
488		594.9977	And it was just a bunch of us, you know.	596.5178
490		597.0914	But-	597.5250
492		597.8328	And it wasn't that we're /not/	598.6954
494		599.0731	real far, but	599.9206
496		600.1351	like I said, everybody knew,	601.3521
497	DCB_int_01	601.7123	[/Everybody-/]	602.0872
498	DCB_se1_ag3_f_03	601.8650	[everybody's], you know, child or whatever.	603.4364

501		606.2283	but yeah, Southeast it just w- <laugh>	608.5318
503		609.8980	I was just glad those three years was up.	611.3446
505		611.8241	<laugh>	612.1387
506	DCB_int_01	612.3635	<laugh>	613.3332
508		613.6736	And then you came back here, cause /RD-SCHOOL-3/'s here, [so you came] back [here.]	616.4819
509	DCB_se1_ag3_f_03	615.3805	[Yeah.]	615.7402

518		623.9397	<ts>	624.0039
520		624.2158	And	624.8227
522		625.5997	that's when, um, I moved back with them,	627.3773
524		627.8782	got enrolled to,	628.8961
526		629.5929	uh, /RD-SCHOOL-3/.	630.6204
528		631.6319	And I had	631.9465
530		632.2580	good time at /RD-SCHOOL-3/.	633.1134
532		633.8847	Good years, good [years.]	635.0342
533	DCB_int_01	634.5525	[S-]	634.7131
535		634.9571	[so] now think about- And do you go into- I'm sorry, I'm'a move [this over] cause mine j- my sweater [is doing all] what it wants to do right now.	640.3246
536	DCB_se1_ag3_f_03	637.1117	[Mm-hm.]	637.4010
538		638.6613	[<laugh>]	639.2232
539	DCB_int_01	640.8480	Do you feel like-	641.9300
541		642.1998	So you go into the high schools now.	643.7278
543		644.2760	How do you feel like your high school was- your high school experience was	647.9622
545		648.1163	then versus kind of what you're seeing [these days?]	650.6509
546	DCB_se1_ag3_f_03	649.8952	[Mm.]	650.5885
547		650.8604	My high school experience I wanna say was the bomb.	653.5640
549		653.9333	<ts>	654.0200
551		654.9800	/But when/ I go in these schools,	656.7557
553		657.2200	and it's like- and I guess, I don't know because of my height or whatever I still look young, cause I'm over forty.	662.1873
555		663.5539	And it's like, the kids just look at you like,	665.3232
557		666.4566	you know.	667.0699
559		668.4654	I'm just like, okay. <laugh>	670.3599
561		672.1741	It's just like no respect at all from s- from most of 'em.	675.2781
562	DCB_int_01	675.4062	Mm-hm.	675.7883
563	DCB_se1_ag3_f_03	675.9136	I mean, all you hear walking down the hall is,	678.0745
565		678.3828	you know, F this, you know,	679.9112
567		680.2676	you [know, just] a lot of [cursing.] And I'm just like-	682.3911
568	DCB_int_01	680.3691	[Mm-hm.]	680.8154
570		681.3773	[Cursing.]	681.7851
571	DCB_se1_ag3_f_03	682.7805	and I'm like, even the principal letting them get away with this? I'm like, I don't understand. It- it has to be	686.9792
573		687.8718	<sigh>	688.4562
575		689.4934	like,	689.8401
577		690.2255	I don't know, more discipline or something, [or]	692.6668
578	DCB_int_01	692.3575	[Mm-hm.]	693.0081
579	DCB_se1_ag3_f_03	693.0723	something because	694.2411
581		694.9507	/it-/	695.1305
583		695.8337	these schools are off the [chain.]	697.2851
584	DCB_int_01	696.9319	[They-]	697.1759
585		698.0557	[Yes.]	698.6176
586	DCB_se1_ag3_f_03	698.3447	[And], you know,	699.1397
587		699.3163	I mean, the DC public schools, the charter schools, I've been	702.4213
589		702.8741	you know, to a lot of 'em, and I'm like,	704.1007
591		704.9548	y'all just talk like- I mean, y'all just	706.4915
593		706.7452	/actually/ let them walking down the hall just talk like this.	708.9640
594	DCB_int_01	710.0300	And not say anything.	710.9965
595	DCB_se1_ag3_f_03	710.9856	Not say anything. They talk like that with each other, they talk like that with the	713.7823
596		714.2158	staff. And I'm like,	715.4328
598		717.1012	when I was in high school,	718.3374
600		719.0123	w- uh,	719.4185
602		719.7984	our teachers didn't tolerate that stuff.	721.5940
603	DCB_int_01	722.9984	[So]	723.1879
604	DCB_se1_ag3_f_03	723.0145	[I mean.]	723.7932
605	DCB_int_01	723.9810	what made your high school experience so great? Like was it things you did or what kind of things you did? [Was it the people?]	729.9020
606	DCB_se1_ag3_f_03	728.9117	[Um,]	729.3784
607		730.6681	probably some of the friends I had. I was mostly quiet	733.0695
609		734.0429	<ts>	734.1039
611		734.2869	in school,	734.9549
613		735.4769	laid back.	736.1480
615		737.1241	<ts> Um,	737.7117
617		738.1291	but I did try to get myself involved in, you know, certain things, you know, to	741.2759
619		741.7819	make it fun for myself, make it interesting. And I had good friends and	744.6943
621		745.0057	still good friends with a lot of 'em	746.4430
623		747.0896	now.	747.5190
625		747.7530	Um,	748.3374
627		749.6635	yeah, and /it's like/ even,	751.1053
629		752.6016	like when I got into the school, I had some friends I would call my cousins, you know, they would look out for me.	756.7874
631		757.1085	You have any problems though, you know, come to me, or whatever.	759.2149
633		759.5668	Um,	760.1929
635		761.9204	it was-	762.6750
637		764.6645	everybody was kind of, you know, friendly to each other. You know, you had your	768.1323
639		768.7456	kids that had their beef with each other /whatever/ but	770.7461
641		770.9952	it wasn't	771.6085
643		772.2475	nothing where I feared	773.4595
645		774.3796	coming to school.	775.2433
646	DCB_int_01	775.4713	Mm.	775.7378
647	DCB_se1_ag3_f_03	775.7763	Like I would walk to school every day. I would walk from /RD-ADDRESS-5/ all the way down	779.1979
649		779.5640	to, which was that, /RD-ADDRESS-3/	781.4039
651		782.4185	every morning. Um,	783.8429
653		785.1112	walk home every evening, you know, afternoon.	787.7025
655		789.0819	Um,	789.5957
657		791.9461	my- my whole high school experience was-	793.7828
659		794.5438	was really awesome.	795.4640
661		797.0446	<ts> It was awesome. Um,	798.3603
662	DCB_int_01	799.3814	[How'd you meet-]	800.0414
663	DCB_se1_ag3_f_03	799.4071	[teachers were bomb.]	800.3864
664	DCB_int_01	800.4956	how'd you meet the friends who were your frie- like, some of the friends that still you close to today?	804.6463
665	DCB_se1_ag3_f_03	805.3043	Most of 'em were in my home room.	806.6850
666	DCB_int_01	807.0980	Mm.	807.2874
667	DCB_se1_ag3_f_03	807.6117	Um,	808.1512
669		809.1947	and then, you know, we had to switch classes so, you know,	811.1053
671		811.5644	lot of us were in the same classes within,	813.4448
673		814.0709	you know.	814.3214
675		814.7163	That's mostly how I met	815.4612
677		816.1131	my f- good friends.	817.1534
679		817.5098	I had a f-	818.1681
681		818.5020	maybe wa- I wanna say about	821.2911
683		822.2929	maybe two- no,	823.8309
685		823.9658	maybe about four good friends	825.3208
687		825.9489	<ts>	826.0163
689		826.2989	while in high school.	827.5242
690	DCB_int_01	827.6282	Mm-hm.	827.9855
691	DCB_se1_ag3_f_03	828.0906	Um,	828.6204
693		829.5869	the funny thing is-	830.6562
695		830.8732	Cause I used to teach preschool,	832.2250
697		832.5397	I taught preschool for twenty years up until two thousand thirteen.	835.3525
699		835.6351	<ts>	835.7121
701		836.0493	And a lot of the children that I taught	838.1383
703		838.8640	were from	839.3168
705		840.6268	classmates. And they're like, oh,	842.4988
707		842.9053	we went to school together, da da da da da. You know, then we started becoming close, you know, after that.	847.3878
709		847.9016	Um,	848.4635
711		850.3117	th- that- that's just-	851.2943
713		851.4227	yeah,	851.6539
715		851.8433	that was funny cause I'm like, wow I taught almost all my classmates' [kids.] (laughing)	856.7902
716	DCB_int_01	855.4640	[<laugh>]	856.0227
717	DCB_se1_ag3_f_03	857.9814	[Oh man.]	859.0025
718	DCB_int_01	858.3764	[But you also had a] little boy at the same time, [so that probably] was-	861.9232
719	DCB_se1_ag3_f_03	860.3884	[Mm-hm.]	861.0370
720		862.2636	Yeah, so	863.2622
722		863.6924	my son,	864.5787
724		864.9993	I actually, um,	866.2500
726		867.4223	<ts>	867.5218
728		868.1801	adopted him when he was two.	869.5654
730		870.2897	So I actually got him when he was	871.9016
732		872.0814	two months old.	873.0126
734		873.5026	His- um,	874.3470
736		874.8608	his birth mother's cousin and I worked together.	877.1342
738		877.8823	And	878.5245
740		879.2296	so the birth m- um,	880.4787
742		880.7259	<ts>	880.8223
744		881.3328	the	881.9525

873		1017.1397	It was like,	1017.6824
875		1018.3856	I had to kind of put myself on the back burner	1020.8452
877		1021.5002	<ts>	1021.5612
879		1021.7282	with my, you know, business, trying to build my business, and I just been promoting him, promoting him.	1025.4131

885		1030.1480	do a book. Cause I had a book that I did when I was	1032.4791

888	DCB_int_01	1034.7448	Mm-hm.	1035.0594

891		1040.7383	So my book came out	1041.9071

900		1049.3135	yeah.	1049.7631
901	DCB_int_01	1049.7502	So what's his book about?	1050.8036
902	DCB_se1_ag3_f_03	1051.0089	His book is about	1052.1689
904		1052.8218	<ts>	1052.9053
906		1053.8815	a superhero, superheroes. Uh, it's called /RD-WORK-7/.	1057.3236
908		1057.8181	So if you look at the book, you think, okay it's just a fireman. But it's not what you think.	1061.5479
910		1062.2094	So, him and his best friend in the book,	1065.0383
912		1065.4082	<ts>	1065.4886
914		1065.9232	um,	1066.3856
916		1066.6746	discover they had super powers	1068.0879
918		1069.3140	when they were like nine or ten or something like that. So they decide to use their superpowers	1073.0278
920		1073.2461	for good.	1073.8626
922		1074.5112	So they have, uh,	1075.4906
924		1075.7153	two arch enemies	1076.7846
926		1077.1911	<ts>	1077.2810

932		1080.9126	and Bang.	1081.5837

936		1083.2264	that's what they're doing, defeating their- um,	1085.1315
938		1086.1644	<ts>	1086.2383
940		1086.6814	their arch enemies. <laugh>	1088.0750

1489		1682.2355	so let me back track a little bit.	1683.3035
1491		1683.6021	I couldn't-	1684.0484
1493		1685.8433	before I got /RD-NAME-2/	1686.9254
1495		1687.2594	I found out I couldn't have children.	1688.5373
1497		1689.3292	<ts	1689.3870
1499		1689.6631	So I had to, uh, end up getting a hysterectomy cause I had, uh, reoccurrences with fibroids and stuff like that.	1694.7236
1500	DCB_int_01	1694.7043	Mm-hm.	1694.9805
1501	DCB_se1_ag3_f_03	1695.6374	<ts>	1695.7016
1503		1696.1769	So, um,	1697.3521
1505		1698.5787	two thousand eleven-	1700.4571
1507		1701.7466	no, two thousand seven I had my hysterectomy.	1704.6332
1509		1704.8837	<ts>	1704.9415
1511		1705.5323	So,	1705.9256
1513		1706.2387	after that I still had like all this weight on me or whatever,	1708.9411
1515		1709.5190	and just having problems like,	1710.7328
1517		1710.9254	you know, losing weight.	1711.7041
1519		1712.3800	Um,	1712.8777
1521		1713.4512	went to a doctor, found out I had a fatty liver.	1715.4163
1523		1716.1099	Put me on a diet, uh,	1717.6575
1525		1718.2182	/told me/, you know, things I c-	1719.2585
1527		1719.4897	shouldn't eat or whatever.	1720.3342
1529		1720.8512	So I started with that, I started going to a weight loss clinic, um,	1724.1071
1531		1725.2521	called Decalo	1726.0227
1533		1726.4723	and	1727.0984
1535		1727.4869	you know, started on my journey.	1728.5723
1537		1729.1020	<ts>	1729.1695
1539		1729.5837	Then I was trying to find the right, uh,	1731.7530
1541		1732.7356	exercise for me,	1733.7856
1542	DCB_int_01	1734.1998	Mm-hm.	1734.5947
1543	DCB_se1_ag3_f_03	1735.2626	uh, as far as, you know, working out.	1737.0279
1545		1737.2714	Cause a lot of things I was doing just wasn't working.	1738.9282
1547		1739.6860	So two of my girlfriends,	1741.1695
1549		1742.0878	<ts>	1742.1456
1551		1742.2227	uh, started up this,	1743.6663
1553		1743.7723	uh,	1744.2475
1555		1744.5911	exercise called go go fitness.	1746.2383
1557		1747.4071	So I started going to the classes on Saturdays, cause at the time it was just on Saturdays and	1751.5062
1559		1752.2865	I was just going like every Saturday, I just found myself just going, just going.	1755.3016
1561		1755.6535	And then eventually,	1756.6007
1563		1757.5287	um, I made up a routine	1759.2562
1565		1759.7860	and eventually they made me a part of	1761.5900

1575		1766.9182	So then I end up going to get my Zumba, um,	1769.2365
1577		1769.6282	license.	1770.3314
1579		1771.3782	And	1772.0525

1595		1782.5658	Um, it was just adults at the time, then I started doing it for the kids, too.	1786.0902
1597		1786.7677	Um,	1787.3649
1599		1788.7617	so my business	1789.8084

1613		1803.6824	And	1804.2507
1615		1804.6103	before she died, a year before she died, she was like, baby	1807.4809

1619		1808.2644	I want you to get yourself together,	1809.6246
1621		1810.3631	she said, cause I don't want you to be like me.	1811.9622

1653		1845.2457	<ts>	1845.3035
1655		1845.5282	So- and,	1846.5301
1657		1846.8672	I wanted to help,	1847.5255
1659		1849.1695	um,	1849.7314
1661		1850.0910	families learn how to	1851.5539
1663		1851.9103	eat healthy together, work out together.	1854.0970
1665		1854.5787	Um,	1855.1727
1667		1855.9176	and let them know that	1856.6003
1669		1856.7544	you know, fitness is not, uh,	1858.5911
1671		1859.4067	nothing to be scared of or strenuous.	1861.7218
1673		1861.9337	You know,	1862.3768
1675		1863.6471	just have fun with it, we just dancing.	1865.1851

1689		1875.3838	So that's my whole	1876.5558
1691		1877.3585	vision for- um, and mission for	1880.0878
1693		1880.5534	my business is to	1881.7177
1695		1882.5558	reach a lot of families, um,	1884.4920
1697		1885.2883	show 'em that you can do this together	1886.7332
1698	DCB_int_01	1887.2735	[Mm-hm.]	1887.6178
1699	DCB_se1_ag3_f_03	1887.4319	[as a] family.	1888.1833
1700		1888.7837	But my main focus	1889.9686
1702		1890.3892	is really on children because it's so many-	1892.7204
1704		1893.6888	so many obese kids, and I mean	1896.7938
1706		1897.6800	like from	1898.4988
1708		1899.0209	three and up.	1899.6311
1710		1900.4915	Cause I've had some in my class	1902.0039
1712		1902.3218	when I used to teach.	1903.1342
1714		1903.9690	So I would start doing the dance with 'em and they g- and they love it.	1906.5044
1716		1907.1690	So now I go to daycares,	1909.0025
1718		1909.1598	um, you know, I do clubs and the YMCA's or whatever, I go to different places, they'll call me	1913.6057
1720		1914.0360	to come, I do summer camps.	1915.3429
1722		1916.1328	<ts>	1916.2002
1724		1916.6626	And I have two daycares that I do.	1918.5622
1726		1918.7805	Oh my god, I love those kids.	1920.0777
1728		1920.5241	I love 'em, I have one I do on Wednesday and one on Friday.	1922.6626
1730		1923.0916	And when I come in there, they just can't wait for me. I can't even get through the door good.	1926.2440
1731	DCB_int_01	1926.6493	<laugh>	1927.5323
1732	DCB_se1_ag3_f_03	1927.6319	They like, we gonna dance, we gonna dance.	1929.3613
1734		1929.9360	And	1930.4787
1736		1930.6039	they just have fun.	1931.6122
1738		1932.1709	But they don't know that they're being healthy, you know, at the same [time.]	1934.8649
1739	DCB_int_01	1934.5625	[Mm-hm.]	1934.9325
1740	DCB_se1_ag3_f_03	1935.6599	And I love it.	1936.9828
1742		1937.2622	Um,	1937.8262
1744		1939.2915	I- I love it, I just love to see the smiles on the kids face and,	1942.2989
1746		1943.4002	you know, I'm not a drill sergeant,	1944.7392
1748		1944.9543	you know what I'm saying.	1945.7924
1750		1946.1263	You know,	1946.6208
1752		1946.9439	I say follow this routine, but kids gonna do what they wanna [do anyway], so I follow their lead.	1951.0923
1753	DCB_int_01	1949.1466	[Do, mm-hm.]	1949.7374
1754	DCB_se1_ag3_f_03	1951.9851	And that's what a lot of	1952.7223
1756		1952.8443	adults don't understand sometimes, when you	1954.8415
1758		1955.1755	working with children,	1956.0200
1760		1956.4823	it's not all about what you	1957.6704
1762		1957.8213	trying to do.	1958.3961
1764		1958.7030	Sometimes you gotta follow those kids' lead in order to reach them.	1961.3745
1765	DCB_int_01	1961.8979	Mm-hm.	1962.3378
1766	DCB_se1_ag3_f_03	1962.3282	And then y'all come together with a happy medium.	1964.3895
1767		1966.2058	So.	1966.5943
1768	DCB_int_01	1966.7227	Do you use go go music in most of your-	1968.4759
1769	DCB_se1_ag3_f_03	1968.4277	I do, uh, all types of music,	1970.1970
1770		1970.5791	everything.	1971.1311
1772		1971.7113	Go go, R&B, whatever	1974.6910
1774		1975.1309	is popular, you know, I try to find out what the kids	1977.4268
1776		1977.8590	like.	1978.3663
1777	DCB_int_01	1978.7869	Mm.	1979.0085
1778	DCB_se1_ag3_f_03	1979.0149	And I'm like, oh okay. So	1980.6140
1780		1980.8002	I was like, /RD-NAME-2/ you gotta teach me how to do this dance cause I don't know.	1983.2341
1781	DCB_int_01	1983.6374	Mm-hm.	1984.0484
1782	DCB_se1_ag3_f_03	1984.2186	So I could, you know.	1985.1787
1784		1985.7663	And most of the time I just had the kids teach me, but, you know,	1987.9144
1786		1988.3929	I try to do everything	1989.5411
1788		1989.8750	to their liking because they're not gonna do it.	1991.3842
1789	DCB_int_01	1991.6314	If it- they don't like it.	1992.5465
1790	DCB_se1_ag3_f_03	1992.5112	Yeah.	1992.9096
1791		1993.2947	And even with adults,	1994.2837
1793		1994.9073	<ts>	1994.9589
1795		1995.0338	it depend on, um,	1996.4113
1797		1996.5172	you know, the type of group	1997.4099
1799		1997.5640	I have, so,	1998.4149
1801		1998.8227	I have	1999.1823
1803		1999.3493	music for everybody.	2000.3190
1805		2000.4654	I did a all, uh,	2001.7723
1807		2002.2925	gospel, um,	2003.5190
1809		2004.2351	<ts>	2004.3378
1811		2004.4888	event one time,	2005.2786
1813		2005.4906	all my music was just gospel music.	2007.2919
1815		2008.3246	And it was fun, that was something different, that was a challenge for me.	2010.6566
1817		2011.0764	And it turned out real nice.	2012.2066
1818	DCB_int_01	2013.1044	So I wanna go to go go for a minute [because] I remember	2016.2644
1819	DCB_se1_ag3_f_03	2014.7002	Mm-hm.	2015.2493
1820	DCB_int_01	2016.6589	I think I came to your class once, but I was- well, I was watching your class [because I was-]	2020.7015
1821	DCB_se1_ag3_f_03	2020.2507	[Uh-huh.]	2020.6617
1822	DCB_int_01	2020.9571	so Miss /RD-NAME-2/ I think could come to your class [cause there was] nobody at the front [desk.]	2023.8939
1823	DCB_se1_ag3_f_03	2022.6108	[Yeah.]	2022.9121
1825		2023.6672	[Mm-hm.]	2024.1378
1826	DCB_int_01	2024.5117	Um, and I was just like-	2025.9746
1828		2026.1961	and I didn't really know about go go cause I had just moved here.	2029.2308
1830		2029.6158	So tell me a little bit about go go, like what is that-	2032.3695
1832		2033.2268	tell me a little bit about the music and like, why	2035.4071
1834		2035.8085	people in DC-	2036.6176
1835	DCB_se1_ag3_f_03	2037.0241	Oh man, well, you know,	2038.7516
1837		2039.4934	Chuck Brown he's the godfather of go go.	2042.0167
1839		2042.6741	<ts>	2042.7287
1841		2043.2425	Um,	2043.9970
1843		2044.5654	so it all started with him.	2045.8401
1845		2046.2447	But, you know, that's what I grew up on,	2047.9962
1847		2048.2984	you know, the go go music. And	2050.4915
1849		2051.1401	I don't know, I think it's just like	2052.0874
1851		2052.2383	the-	2052.4534
1853		2052.6750	the-	2052.9443
1855		2053.7057	the sound of it, the beat of it. And it's just like when-	2056.0195
1857		2056.4851	when you're together	2057.4934
1859		2057.8626	with other people and	2059.3043
1861		2059.5323	it's just- You know, depending on what the song, cause most of go go's like, call and response and stuff like that, so it's just like-	2064.8163
1863		2065.5355	I don't know and it's just the- the- the music just put you like in a little groove,	2069.2044
1865		2069.6282	you know, everybody chill, laid back or whatever.	2072.7910
1867		2073.5893	I don't know, j-	2074.0709
1869		2074.3246	go go is- /I don't-/ it's just DC's music.	2076.2126
1871		2076.5080	It's always been DC's music.	2077.9112
1872	DCB_int_01	2078.1732	Do [you have a favorite] band?	2079.4191
1873	DCB_se1_ag3_f_03	2078.2965	[/Forev-/]	2078.9259
1874		2079.9103	<ts>	2079.9714
1876		2080.2989	My favorite band,	2081.5800
1878		2081.8819	I think I have two.	2082.6332
1879	DCB_int_01	2082.9030	Okay.	2083.1923
1880	DCB_se1_ag3_f_03	2083.5195	My two favorite bands right now is Subtle Thoughts,	2087.1947
1882		2087.7374	um,	2088.3410
1884		2088.8933	<ts>	2088.9961
1886		2089.8855	ooh lord, what is the daggone name of the other group? Um,	2092.9433
1888		2094.8131	It was right on tip of my tongue.	2096.0011
1890		2098.2314	Let it Flow.	2098.9186
1892		2101.0410	I wanna say I had one more.	2102.3458
1894		2104.3117	Of course the Chuck Brown Band.	2105.7011
1896		2107.0025	So those about my	2108.2638
1898		2108.9342	three favorites right now.	2110.4498
1899	DCB_int_01	2111.4099	And tell me a little bit about	2113.0739
1901		2113.7474	are they	2114.1649
1903		2114.4506	different, are they similar?	2115.9071
1904	DCB_se1_ag3_f_03	2116.1351	<ts>	2116.2058
1906		2116.9122	They play the same music but their sound is different,	2119.3882
1907	DCB_int_01	2120.0461	Give [me- like, whatchu- mm-mm], tell- explain it to me.	2122.2507
1908	DCB_se1_ag3_f_03	2120.1636	[you know what I'm saying.]	2121.0755
1909		2122.4626	So it's like,	2123.4520
1911		2124.7777	every go go,	2125.4938
1913		2125.9369	uh, band have-	2127.2502
1915		2128.0934	You know, they might do like the same similar songs but its- it's- it's the sound so it comes-	2132.2115
1917		2133.0145	Meaning the sound is, they develop their own like, go go sound, and then the singers	2137.9690
1919		2138.1424	really make it come to life.	2139.3613
1921		2139.7241	So,	2140.2058
1923		2140.8672	each singer will sing the song	2142.8612
1925		2143.2786	differently.	2143.8887
1927		2144.6240	So that's what make	2145.3497
1929		2145.7370	the sound different,	2146.6328
1931		2147.8562	so.	2148.2322
1932	DCB_int_01	2148.8163	Is there something different between like kind of new go go versus old go go? Someone was telling me like, the older stuff is different from kind of what they [do now.]	2156.2869
1933	DCB_se1_ag3_f_03	2155.8245	[The older] stuff-	2157.1538
1934		2158.0163	the older stuff was more- uh,	2160.2319
1936		2162.3434	more faster I think,	2163.7048
1938		2163.9489	I think the beat was more faster,	2165.5715
1939	DCB_int_01	2165.8009	Mm-hm.	2166.0534
1940	DCB_se1_ag3_f_03	2166.0360	but you could still dance to it.	2167.3747
1941		2167.6094	Like I don't know if you ever heard of, what is it? Uh, Chuck Brown's Bustin Loose?	2171.2975
1942	DCB_int_01	2171.8305	Mm-hm.	2172.1638
1943	DCB_se1_ag3_f_03	2172.4021	Cause I think, uh, that might've been the first go go song he did.	2174.8488
1945		2176.1062	So, that sound was like a little fast or whatever.	2178.5498
1947		2178.9961	But now,	2179.6897
1949		2180.2291	the sound as we- you know, the years started going,	2183.5158
1951		2184.0296	the sound- the beat started getting, um,	2186.6594
1953		2188.0356	<ts>	2188.0837
1955		2188.2828	I wanna say more	2189.0888
1957		2189.8947	not slower, but it slowed down a little bit.	2192.2580
1958	DCB_int_01	2192.2567	Mm-hm.	2192.6127
1959	DCB_se1_ag3_f_03	2192.7255	But then,	2193.5058
1961		2194.7613	when Backyard Band came in, they had like this bounce beat. So you had like this-	2198.6284
1963		2199.6535	this,	2199.9489
1965		2200.2186	you know, ongoing bounce beat or whatever going on.	2202.8420
1967		2203.1149	I didn't care too	2203.8406
1969		2204.1167	much <laugh> for a [bounce beat.] (laughing)	2206.2443
1970	DCB_int_01	2205.4415	[<laugh>]	2206.3214
1971	DCB_se1_ag3_f_03	2206.8929	But that was just, you know, the youngins. Um,	2208.8869
1973		2209.6575	and then it's-	2210.0364
1975		2210.4397	it's kind of going back	2211.5860
1977		2211.8301	to,	2212.3503
1979		2213.9878	you know, the slower beat,	2215.1213
1981		2215.2819	but then you still got the- uh,	2216.6658
1983		2217.1301	the fast, the percuss- So it's like kind of mixed now.	2219.3456
1984	DCB_int_01	2219.5544	Mm.	2219.8722
1985	DCB_se1_ag3_f_03	2220.3186	So,	2220.8002
1987		2221.8887	cause you still had the old school bands out there like Sugar Bear,	2224.7067
1989		2225.3007	uh,	2225.9718
1991		2226.9543	what's the other one? Um,	2228.2237
1993		2229.1429	it's so many of 'em.	2230.0484
1995		2231.9846	I can't, it's so- it's so many go go bands I can't even-	2234.1360
1997		2234.7095	Yeah.	2235.0370
1998	DCB_int_01	2235.2778	I got to see Sugar Bear, uh, he did halftime I think at one of the Wizards games.	2239.8887
1999	DCB_se1_ag3_f_03	2239.9016	Mm-hm.	2240.4363
2000	DCB_int_01	2240.6131	And I was like, oh okay.	2241.9746
2001	DCB_se1_ag3_f_03	2241.9200	I think I saw that, uh, on YouTube.	2243.7920
2002		2244.1516	But I used to go see him. When I used to come and teach class,	2246.7280
2004		2247.8397	uh, on Wednesdays, I would leave here	2250.0039
2006		2250.3764	on Wednesdays and go right down to the meeting place- I mean, not the meeting place, um,	2254.0003
2008		2254.4562	<ts>	2254.5590
2010		2254.8126	what was it called? Martin's on, uh, Ninth and U.	2257.1117
2012		2257.5227	And would go see him	2258.2708
2014		2259.0383	every Wednesday.	2259.7594
2015	DCB_int_01	2260.7002	So you sti- Okay, so	2261.8305
2017		2262.0264	tell me about your f-	2263.1406
2019		2263.3172	first go go that you can remember going to, like	2265.4022
2021		2265.6856	your first go [go.]	2266.9090
2022	DCB_se1_ag3_f_03	2266.7131	[I] was	2267.7952
2023		2269.0571	in high school,	2270.1131
2025		2271.2938	and the first go- I think it was at Wilmer's Park.	2273.9243
2027		2274.9897	And I wanna say that's /only/ either way out in Maryland or Virginia, I don't know.	2278.0902
2029		2278.7420	And it was, uh,	2280.1773
2031		2281.4809	Junk Yard Band,	2283.1442
2033		2285.0149	I think	2285.3681
2035		2285.5190	Rare Essence,	2286.9511
2037		2288.8122	and another band, I can't remember what other band it was.	2291.4934
2039		2292.0232	<ts>	2292.0777
2041		2292.4245	But my um- my aunt took me, my sister, and my cousin,	2295.9296
2043		2297.2590	dropped us off, we had a good time.	2299.0186
2045		2300.3286	That was like our first go- And it was outside, that was	2302.3017
2047		2302.7324	my first go go, so I had to be	2304.3475
2049		2305.0764	around sixteen.	2306.1777
2051		2307.0916	Yup, I was around sixteen.	2308.4048
2053		2309.8177	That was the first [go go I went to.]	2311.0731
2054	DCB_int_01	2310.2351	[So what happens] at a go go? Like, kind of if you [can] tell me like-	2313.4737
2055	DCB_se1_ag3_f_03	2312.4828	[You just-]	2312.8006
2056		2314.1383	Just dancing.	2314.8983
2058		2315.6378	Cause once the music start,	2316.8548
2060		2317.6062	you just automatically start dancing.	2319.0511
2062		2319.6888	And that's basically what- <laugh>	2320.7163
2063	DCB_int_01	2320.7288	<laugh>	2321.4346
2064	DCB_se1_ag3_f_03	2321.7888	That's basically what it is. [I mean, and you would dan- it- it's] v- it's really good [exercise.]	2325.8782
2065	DCB_int_01	2322.7424	[That's a good exercise session.]	2324.1585
2067		2325.3452	[<laugh>]	2326.1126
2068	DCB_se1_ag3_f_03	2326.6617	I mean, that's all you doing is just-	2328.1153
2070		2328.3089	you just dancing. Like Soul Train.	2330.0974
2071	DCB_int_01	2330.2451	Mm-hm.	2330.6690
2072	DCB_se1_ag3_f_03	2330.8873	Yeah,	2331.3273
2074		2332.0163	you just dancing.	2332.9090
2076		2333.8755	And	2334.4181
2078		2335.0603	it's something about the- the congos, I think the-	2337.3195
2080		2337.6663	the beat for the congos,	2339.0984
2082		2339.4869	it's like really get your adrenaline flowing, it's like-	2342.2195
2084		2342.6273	/I don't know/.	2343.1795
2086		2344.7291	/I don't know/.	2345.3331
2088		2345.5704	[<laugh>]	2345.9011
2089	DCB_int_01	2345.5704	[When you talk] about- you said the call and response, like how did- how does that work? Like what did- what happens like,	2350.2892
2090		2350.5397	what do they say that makes you respond back?	2352.5498
2091	DCB_se1_ag3_f_03	2352.7232	So,	2353.4103
2093		2353.5323	okay so for example,	2355.0383
2095		2356.0581	Chuck Brown, he'll say- um,	2357.6250
2097		2358.0071	every time he come on,	2359.0603
2099		2359.4841	wind me up, Chuck,	2360.9901
2101		2362.1319	wind me up, Chuck.	2363.4998
2103		2363.9172	Um, and then he- he used to do a lot of songs where it's like call and response.	2367.2170
2105		2367.6278	So he'll say something, if I say such and such then you say such and such.	2371.0988
2107		2371.2305	So it's like stuff like that.	2372.5727
2109		2373.0916	Um,	2373.7723
2111		2374.5429	what's another?	2375.0576
2113		2377.7089	Junk Yard Band they had Sardines and Pork and [Beans.]	2380.1961
2114	DCB_int_01	2380.0131	[Mm.]	2380.2443
2115	DCB_se1_ag3_f_03	2381.2525	<laugh>	2381.6732
2117		2382.2415	Uh,	2383.1053
2119		2384.1873	Sugar Bear had something.	2385.4300
2120	DCB_int_01	2387.5158	He did one this- the last when I saw him.	2389.7860
2122		2389.8883	I can't [remember what it was.]	2391.3140
2123	DCB_se1_ag3_f_03	2390.4278	[I can't remember what song] it was.	2392.0451
2124		2392.5361	He had a- he had a lot of call and response songs.	2394.8512

2251		2539.6411	See, I go to	2540.5209
2253		2540.7103	the grown and sexy go gos. I don't do all the crazy little Backyard and	2545.1691

2410		2727.8406	Only thing I remember about U Street is when my grandfather used to take us down to Ben's Chili Bowl.	2731.8686
2412		2733.6608	Cause he liked to go down there and get his half smokes or whatever.	2736.2379
2414		2736.6457	<laugh>	2737.4677
2416		2738.0553	That's probably the only thing I remember about U Street.	2740.4892
2418		2741.1815	<ts>	2741.2329
2420		2741.3324	Um,	2741.9084

2426		2749.6604	Um,	2750.2961

2442		2763.5259	um,	2764.1299
2444		2765.9553	it's been a little different.	2766.9315
2446		2768.1805	But it seems like- I don't know, it's like,	2770.0245
2448		2771.4480	you know, both races are trying to get along together, so it's like	2774.7874
2450		2774.9672	you kind of can party in the same	2776.4635
2452		2776.9856	vicinity sometimes.	2778.7195
2454		2779.3649	So I could see-	2780.2287
2456		2781.9305	you know, I could see that now,	2783.7819
2458		2784.2925	but	2784.5494
2460		2785.3682	I don't know.	2785.7348
2462		2787.4521	It's just- it's-	2788.0011
2464		2788.5265	it's still a little	2789.2842
2466		2789.5957	different.	2790.0477
2467	DCB_int_01	2790.3952	Is Indulge open or is it closed?	2792.5273
2468	DCB_se1_ag3_f_03	2792.5241	That's a good question.	2793.4617
2469	DCB_int_01	2793.9433	Cause when I was on U Street, uh, a few weeks ago-	2796.7516
2470	DCB_se1_ag3_f_03	2796.8801	I don't know if they still- are they still Indulge, did they change their name?	2799.9241
2471	DCB_int_01	2799.9177	Maybe, cause they're right across- they're not too far from Ben's, right? They're- [it's right across and] then go like, [down a] door or something like that?	2805.4906
2472	DCB_se1_ag3_f_03	2802.4306	[I think they're right across the s-]	2803.5833
2474		2804.2640	[Yeah.]	2804.6140
2475		2806.0011	I'm'a have to ride past there today and find out.	2807.9810
2476	DCB_int_01	2808.5269	I-	2808.7645
2478		2809.0374	I'm- cause I'm'a go back that way cause I'm'a go over [to,]	2811.1530
2479	DCB_se1_ag3_f_03	2810.7681	[Mm-hm.]	2811.3589
2480	DCB_int_01	2811.3493	uh, Benning Road, so I'm'a- I'm'a [ride back. Cause] last time I was there we were at, um, Alero.	2816.4535
2481	DCB_se1_ag3_f_03	2812.7930	[Mm-hm.]	2813.4095
2482		2816.8227	Okay.	2817.2497
2483	DCB_int_01	2817.3301	And- but I rode that way to get to Alero.	2819.7884
2484	DCB_se1_ag3_f_03	2819.8173	[Mm-hm.]	2820.3246
2485	DCB_int_01	2819.9104	[<clears throat>]	2820.4241
2486		2821.3296	And I didn't-	2822.1356
2488		2822.7071	Cause it- there's some construction going [on]	2824.3499
2489	DCB_se1_ag3_f_03	2824.0416	[Mm, yeah.]	2824.9214
2490	DCB_int_01	2824.6453	[next to it.]	2825.4737
2491	DCB_se1_ag3_f_03	2825.4897	[Okay.]	2825.9874
2492	DCB_int_01	2825.6503	[I don't know if] it's condos or if they're building [a new-]	2827.7727
2493	DCB_se1_ag3_f_03	2827.4099	[Oh god.] (whispered)	2828.1992
2494	DCB_int_01	2829.4328	Why you [say-]	2829.8448
2495	DCB_se1_ag3_f_03	2829.7089	[It's] like every- /I was tell- s-/	2830.9066
2496		2831.5893	Every time I turn around it's like they building up condos	2834.6397
2498		2835.9883	everywhere.	2836.7589
2500		2837.5315	And it's so much construction in DC, it's driving me crazy. It's like every time I turn around,	2840.9993
2502		2841.6833	<sigh> I gotta do a detour here or I got- I- I can't take it no more.	2844.7484
2504		2845.5448	And now,	2846.1677
2506		2846.9608	I live over off of /RD-ADDRESS-3/	2848.3543
2508		2849.1173	by the other Boys and Girls Club, I live a half block up.	2851.1338
2509	DCB_int_01	2851.4741	Oh, that's where I'm going now.	2852.5341
2510	DCB_se1_ag3_f_03	2852.6525	Mm-hm, I live a half a block up.	2854.1167
2512		2855.4030	And when I say I miss living Uptown so bad (laughing)	2857.5191
2514		2858.6429	it's just like,	2859.1984
2516		2859.3943	over there it's just like so much going on, like I don't even let my son go outside over there.	2863.1466
2518		2863.4260	That's why we up here all the time.	2864.8516
2520		2866.5329	It's just so	2867.4416
2522		2868.9443	different.	2870.0039
2524		2870.7328	Like,	2871.3493
2526		2871.8053	it's just too many things going on over there. It's- it's- it's	2874.5879
2528		2874.7998	dangerous.	2875.6026
2530		2877.4938	Like, too many things and I'm just like,	2879.6083
2532		2880.4498	ooh. Cause I bought a condo over there.	2882.4438
2534		2883.8984	I just go in my little condo,	2885.4544
2536		2886.1319	shut my door. (laughing)	2887.2204
2538		2888.6814	But it's just	2889.7314
2540		2889.8277	like,	2890.3736
2542		2890.7255	if I wanted my child to go outside and play, I would not let him	2893.7567
2544		2894.4535	out	2894.6622
2546		2894.8934	over there.	2895.3236
2548		2896.0108	We'll go up here, go to the	2897.3131
2550		2897.6535	parks or the playgrounds up this way,	2899.5319
2552		2900.1580	cause it's safer	2900.9194
2554		2901.1213	to me.	2901.4707
2555	DCB_int_01	2902.3852	Mm.	2902.6838
2556	DCB_se1_ag3_f_03	2903.4319	But,	2903.6650
2558		2904.1018	/it just/	2904.3984
2560		2904.5429	too many things going on over on that side of town.	2907.1245
2561	DCB_int_01	2908.1938	Why do you think that's so? Like why is it [such a big difference?]	2910.7645
2562	DCB_se1_ag3_f_03	2909.6952	[I don't know.]	2910.6906
2563		2910.8833	I don't know.	2911.4516
2565		2911.7888	And the crazy part is	2913.0885
2567		2914.6883	a lot of, um,	2915.6696
2569		2915.8173	my friends or	2916.9860
2571		2917.2815	people I went to school with	2918.3892
2573		2919.8245	that lived up here,	2920.8296
2575		2921.5443	they live on that side,	2922.8994
2577		2923.0182	because the cost of living Uptown is so,	2925.7989
2579		2926.5310	so	2927.1622
2581		2927.3356	expensive.	2928.1263
2583		2928.7420	Even with these new condos they building up,	2930.7681
2585		2931.6447	you gonna have to have at least three jobs	2933.3292
2587		2934.5654	just to pay the-	2935.1948
2589		2935.3938	pay the rent.	2935.8434
2591		2936.2158	My mortgage is less than what the-	2937.7378
2593		2938.1007	what the rent is up here.	2939.1634
2594	DCB_int_01	2939.1751	Mm-hm.	2939.6696
2595	DCB_se1_ag3_f_03	2942.0874	I was like, shoot I can't move back up here cause I ain't gonna be able to afford that.	2944.8116
2597		2945.9746	Two thousand dollars, almost two thousand dollars for a one [bedroom.]	2949.1604
2598	DCB_int_01	2948.6269	[Bedroom], right.	2949.5773
2599		2949.7924	Right right right. Don't [go for-]	2950.8925
2600	DCB_se1_ag3_f_03	2950.5810	[For-]	2950.8957
2601		2951.0787	f-	2951.1751
2603		2951.2810	yeah,	2951.6824
2605		2951.9585	for an efficiency it's like fifteen hundred do-	2953.9493
2607		2954.3689	I was like, are you serious?	2955.5954
2609		2957.1526	That's crazy.	2957.9746
2611		2958.2507	So,	2958.6867
2613		2960.1420	I feel like that's justification right there cause you pushing all the African Americans	2964.5526
2615		2966.2929	out on to this side or into Maryland or whatever,	2969.4255
2617		2969.9040	where it's cheaper for them to live,	2971.0149
2619		2971.5126	but then you got all this stuff	2972.8356
2621		2973.0250	going on	2973.8984
2623		2974.1039	on this	2974.5181
2625		2974.7287	side of town, not just Northeast but Southeast.	2977.2237
2627		2977.3553	You know, it's just-	2978.4181
2629		2979.3654	it's crazy.	2980.0814
2630	DCB_int_01	2981.3645	It's a lot.	2981.9139
2632		2982.3182	[/It's-/]	2982.7484
2633	DCB_se1_ag3_f_03	2982.3310	[It is-]	2982.7484
2634		2983.3007	it is- it's just too much going on. They not making it affordable	2986.4539
2636		2987.3035	for	2987.9361
2638		2988.5558	African Americans up here.	2989.7470
2639	DCB_int_01	2990.9865	Mm-hm.	2991.4360
2640	DCB_se1_ag3_f_03	2991.9099	But even so on the Benning Road side I see a lot of them.	2994.8737
2641	DCB_int_01	2996.4406	On [Minnesota Avenue.]	2997.6287
2642	DCB_se1_ag3_f_03	2996.7874	[It's a lot] of 'em.	2998.1315
2643		2998.8347	Even in the worst pla-	2999.6856
2645		2999.9168	Twenty-first Street, and, you know, Twenty-first Street used to be off the chain.	3002.4888
2647		3003.5002	And I see a lot of them	3004.8199
2649		3004.9856	over there. I said, wait a minute,	3006.3374
2651		3006.8191	my girlfriend used to live on Tenth and G,	3008.7553
2653		3009.6255	uh, Northeast.	3011.0383
2655		3011.6567	She said she was last person- before she bought her house,	3013.8691
2657		3014.1259	she was the last	3014.9929
2659		3015.1695	black person in the building.	3016.2452
2661		3017.7691	And she lived over there since she was young, since she was little.	3020.0842
2663		3020.5145	Her mom passed and everything,	3021.8438
2665		3022.2291	and she was still there.	3023.0651
2667		3024.6585	She said she was the last African American	3027.3333
2669		3027.9273	in her building.	3028.9310
2671		3029.2618	And them people- When I say my girlfriend lived there for a long time,	3031.9943
2673		3032.3507	everybody in the building was African American.	3034.1026
2675		3034.4751	And they lived there for a long time, they got pushed out.	3036.4755
2677		3038.1837	So you don't see nothing around there but the Caucasians.	3040.9645
2678	DCB_int_01	3041.7145	Mm.	3041.9489
2680		3043.1209	So no longer Chocolate City?	3044.4278

2695		3060.5108	to me,	3060.9988
2697		3061.5319	I think it make it racist.	3062.9559

2710		3072.8127	make it unaffordable	3074.0746

2714		3077.4833	<ts>	3077.5411
2716		3077.6888	for the people to live, especially Uptown.	3079.5191

2726		3089.2971	rent.	3089.6985

2737		3101.6599	you know what I'm saying.	3102.5686

2775	DCB_se1_ag3_f_03	3147.2883	[Yeah.]	3147.9376
2776		3148.5136	I'm like, you could buy a house and pay less than that.	3150.4081
2777	DCB_int_01	3151.3104	I was reading- a friend of mine posted an article on Facebook saying you have to make at least thirty dollars an hour to have a one bedroom	3157.2012
2779		3157.5287	in DC.	3158.1805
2780	DCB_se1_ag3_f_03	3158.3732	That is so true. /RD-NAME-2/ was talking about that, uh, on Friday.	3161.0852
2782		3162.5590	I was like, that is so true.	3163.6315
2783	DCB_int_01	3163.9012	Mm-hm.	3164.2640
2785		3164.4920	And so that's- you know, that's someone forty-five, fifty thousand dollars a year,	3168.4819
2787		3168.8480	and not everybody's making forty-five, fifty thousand dollars a year to-	3172.7782
2788	DCB_se1_ag3_f_03	3173.1141	Yeah, minimum wage ain't even that.	3174.5269
2789	DCB_int_01	3175.3168	Mm-mm, what, twenty-five, thirty thousand?	3177.5420
2790	DCB_se1_ag3_f_03	3177.5837	Yeah.	3178.0410
2791	DCB_int_01	3178.1456	And you barely like-	3179.5957
2793		3179.8237	It's- it's tough, [it's tough.]	3181.4450
2794	DCB_se1_ag3_f_03	3180.6778	[It's really diff-] Because I remember when I first	3183.1378
2795		3183.4970	started when- my very first apartment,	3185.8723
2797		3186.4145	I was nineteen.	3187.5640
2799		3188.8709	As a matter of fact, my very first apartment was over on Fiftieth and J, Northeast.	3191.9650
2801		3192.2315	I paid four hundred dollars for rent	3193.6122
2802	DCB_int_01	3196.1553	You might get [a room.]	3197.0884
2803	DCB_se1_ag3_f_03	3196.4815	[for my one] bedroom.	3197.6122
2804		3198.2154	And I had a nice size apartment.	3199.4131
2806		3200.1292	My second apartment	3201.2369
2808		3202.1989	<ts>	3202.2471
2810		3202.4879	I think my cousin and I had together,	3203.9393
2812		3204.8255	over in Maryland by PG Plaza.	3206.6782
2814		3207.0892	Our rent /still was-/ We had a two bedroom,	3208.7878
2816		3209.1108	and that was like, five sixty.	3211.0214
2818		3213.0346	Then when I moved from there,	3214.0686
2820		3214.2375	my other apartment I paid,	3215.8975
2822		3217.1177	I had a one bedroom, four fifty.	3218.5691
2824		3220.3351	And before when I	3221.4737
2826		3221.7049	moved out that apartment	3222.8351
2828		3223.4260	and I moved on, uh, Georgia and Dahlia,	3225.5034
2830		3225.7860	before I bought my condo, I lived over	3227.1558
2832		3227.3774	Georgia and Dahlia for maybe like, four or five ye-	3229.0053
2834		3229.4388	I was only paying	3230.3475
2836		3231.0507	like five,	3231.7700
2838		3232.0910	five hundred.	3232.6722
2839	DCB_int_01	3234.5783	Mm.	3234.7982
2840	DCB_se1_ag3_f_03	3236.5177	So I'm like,	3237.3557
2842		3237.8663	what is the reason for these	3239.4159
2844		3240.3695	rents being so	3241.5608
2846		3242.1131	[high?]	3242.9211
2847	DCB_int_01	3242.2735	[High.]	3242.5833
2848	DCB_se1_ag3_f_03	3243.4392	Can't nobody afford that.	3244.6228
2850		3245.0466	I remember back in the day, you could get a three bedroom for like eight hundred dollars.	3248.6397
2851	DCB_int_01	3250.2632	Mm-mm.	3250.7127
2853		3252.4209	[Now that's what?]	3253.1516
2854	DCB_se1_ag3_f_03	3252.4884	[I'm like, it's almost] like two thousand dollars.	3254.6782
2855	DCB_int_01	3257.2361	Mm-hm.	3257.5861
2856	DCB_se1_ag3_f_03	3257.6310	And then you wonder why you got so many homeless people.	3259.8948
2858		3260.5980	N- everybody should be able to live in a home,	3262.9773
2860		3263.2168	no one should be homeless.	3264.4819
2862		3265.8530	That's how I feel.	3266.5819
2864		3267.0154	No one should be homeless	3268.3447
2866		3268.9535	in the United States of America, period.	3270.8429
2868		3273.7025	And with DC, all this money you generating from all these ticket sales, I mean, ticket, um,	3279.2819
2870		3280.0686	that you giving people and whatever else you getting money,	3282.5526
2872		3283.6282	you got millions of dollars.	3284.7617
2874		3285.5741	You can build	3286.6626
2876		3287.3099	at least three or four places	3288.9347
2878		3289.2782	for people to be able to	3290.6814
2880		3291.0828	live affordably.	3292.1456
2882		3293.6631	And not charge no fifteen hundred,	3295.7149
2884		3296.3090	two thousand, three thou-	3297.5323
2886		3297.8181	Uh-uh.	3298.2928
2888		3300.7870	Cause it should be no reason that these families	3303.2626
2890		3303.5356	should be living in shelters, living in hotels.	3305.7884
2892		3307.7888	You know, it's- it's crazy, and that's- I had to tell my son that	3310.3479
2894		3310.7801	please be grateful	3311.6631

3079	DCB_int_01	3538.6228	And so that's gr- I love the fact that it's- it's not simply like, okay that's what you did here, or [did-]	3543.3473
3080	DCB_se1_ag3_f_03	3543.1149	[Right.]	3543.4482
3081	DCB_int_01	3543.5034	No, but we're doing- we're embracing these things, [I love that.]	3546.2403
3082	DCB_se1_ag3_f_03	3545.5475	[Yeah.]	3546.0657

3086	DCB_se1_ag3_f_03	3550.0204	[Okay.]	3550.4244
3087	DCB_int_01	3550.6099	cause- cause we talking about-	3551.8099

3091		3552.6136	<clears throat>	3553.0599
3093		3553.8466	[one of] the things [that DC] is known for is mumbo sauce.	3557.6503
3094	DCB_se1_ag3_f_03	3553.9782	<laugh>	3554.1613
3096		3554.6204	[<laugh>]	3555.2755
3097		3557.7691	Yes.	3558.5205
3098	DCB_int_01	3558.4819	So tell me a little bit about-	3559.6764
3099		3559.8081	Do you like mumbo sauce?	3560.7938
3100	DCB_se1_ag3_f_03	3560.7906	I don't like mumbo [sauce.]	3562.2227
3101	DCB_int_01	3562.0512	[Okay], tell me why.	3563.0948
3102	DCB_se1_ag3_f_03	3563.0434	I-	3563.3131
3103		3563.8879	I don't know, I just never been-	3565.5512
3105		3565.7888	I mean, I tasted it before, it's okay, but I'm just like	3567.7667
3107		3567.9787	not a big mumbo sauce	3569.6599
3109		3570.4916	eater	3570.8676
3111		3571.5576	on my chicken and stuff.	3572.5749
3113		3573.3622	But a lot of people like it, I don't know what the	3575.5861
3115		3576.3567	craze is about it, but.	3577.8081
3117		3578.9865	[Yeah, that's a big thing.]	3580.0493
3118	DCB_int_01	3579.1021	[Now where- where do you] get it from?	3580.5927
3119	DCB_se1_ag3_f_03	3581.3163	W-	3581.4384
3121		3581.7113	the mumbo [sauce?]	3582.5269
3122	DCB_int_01	3582.3952	[Mm-hm.]	3582.7356
3123	DCB_se1_ag3_f_03	3583.2493	I don't know, I thought it was something that the Chinese people made up.	3586.1135
3125		3587.3388	The Asian people made up.	3588.2796
3127		3588.7613	But,	3589.1594
3129		3590.7713	I don't know, apparently	3591.9016
3131		3593.3613	that's supposed to be a black thing I guess.	3595.2526
3133		3595.8980	I don't know.	3596.4888
3135		3596.7424	I'll have to do some research.	3597.9016
3136	DCB_int_01	3598.1874	Me t-	3598.4499
3138		3598.5971	I'm still learning. I ask people about it, but it's-	3601.1434
3139	DCB_se1_ag3_f_03	3601.7021	Yeah.	3602.0994
3140	DCB_int_01	3603.0057	Like you can't buy it in stores. [You just have to] go-	3605.4994
3141	DCB_se1_ag3_f_03	3604.4044	[<laugh> Right.]	3605.0755
3142		3605.5989	It's something that-	3606.4081
3144		3607.4131	I don't even know what it's m- what the ingredients are of the mumbo sauce, to tell you the truth.	3611.1346
3145	DCB_int_01	3611.2939	Me neither.	3611.6979
3147		3612.1030	[Nobody does.]	3613.0760
3148	DCB_se1_ag3_f_03	3612.2893	[Mm-mm.]	3612.9700
3149	DCB_int_01	3613.2718	It's kind of a mystery, [cause if you go to] one place it's-	3615.8245
3150	DCB_se1_ag3_f_03	3614.3700	[Yeah.]	3614.9393
3151	DCB_int_01	3616.5200	thick, if you go to [another place it's-]	3618.8608
3152	DCB_se1_ag3_f_03	3617.4962	[Right, and it's just l- yeah], so I don't know.	3620.7039
3153		3621.1856	But I never- yeah, I wasn't a big mumbo sauce.	3623.4865
