138 | | 136.1595 | uh, so | 136.7741 |
140 | | 136.9595 | when- since I was- | 137.9807 |
142 | | 138.6766 | my mom says since I was two weeks old my grandparents would pick me up | 141.4280 |
144 | | 141.5434 | every two weeks. | 142.4842 |
146 | | 143.0087 | They'd come pick me up. | 143.8236 |
148 | | 144.1768 | And around when I was two | 145.6456 |
150 | | 145.8756 | years old, | 146.4911 |
152 | | 146.8443 | my mom stopped dealing with my blood father | 149.0335 |
154 | | 149.3972 | because he wanted to be in the streets, and he wanted to do- | 151.8549 |
156 | | 152.1731 | not- when I say drugs, I mean like, weed | 153.9427 |
157 | DCB_int_01 | 154.2469 | [Mm-hm.] | 154.5547 |
158 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 154.3860 | [and] like be around with his friends | 155.9702 |
159 | | 156.2814 | and stuff. And she wasn't having that around her children | 158.6875 |
161 | | 159.0923 | at all. So, | 159.7113 |
163 | | 160.0855 | she eventually like moved out of his house. She told me all the time about how | 162.9986 |
165 | | 163.3545 | she moved out of his house in one night, | 164.9457 |
167 | | 165.2115 | well, their house in one night, | 166.5229 |
169 | | 166.8726 | and g- went to um, my grandmo- | 168.7078 |
171 | | 168.8022 | where my grandmom lives. | 169.8059 |
173 | | 170.3620 | And then my | 171.0509 |
175 | | 171.2083 | da- /RD-NAME-2/, he came into my life around when I was two, so | 174.0961 |
177 | | 174.4353 | shortly after that | 175.2956 |
178 | DCB_int_01 | 175.6908 | [Mm-hm.] | 175.9671 |
179 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 175.8307 | [they] started | 176.4357 |
180 | | 176.7364 | talking to each other | 177.6763 |
182 | | 178.2778 | and um, getting to know each other. And before them, | 180.4356 |
184 | | 180.5685 | I have a big sister, | 181.6281 |
186 | | 182.1239 | /RD-NAME-2/, | 182.7359 |
188 | | 183.1835 | and- she's twenty one. She- who also has a different father | 185.8798 |
190 | | 186.2776 | than I do. | 186.8617 |
192 | | 187.4597 | And then, | 187.9703 |
194 | | 188.7397 | going back | 189.4741 |
196 | | 189.6349 | to my dad, /RD-NAME-2/, | 190.8021 |
198 | | 191.1693 | it's a | 191.6974 |
200 | | 191.9492 | two more, | 192.5157 |
202 | | 192.8655 | but- which my mom and my dad /RD-NAME-2/ have. | 194.6315 |
204 | | 195.0538 | So but he's our father. | 196.4387 |
205 | DCB_int_01 | 196.7010 | [Like everybody.] | 197.5753 |
206 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 196.7115 | [You know], | 197.1696 |
208 | | 197.4039 | [he's] everybody's father. We don't see him as a step father. | 200.2288 |
209 | | 200.5575 | Never called him step dad. Never- | 202.6278 |
211 | | 203.3098 | never called him /RD-NAME-2/. | 204.5015 |
213 | | 204.8757 | [Except] for one time | 205.7849 |
214 | DCB_int_01 | 204.9141 | [Mm.] | 205.1275 |
215 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 206.1696 | when my blood father did tell me- he was like, he's not your father, | 208.6343 |
217 | | 208.9630 | so you call him /RD-NAME-2/. | 210.0786 |
219 | | 210.3444 | So I called him /RD-NAME-2/ one time, and I got in so much trouble | 212.8623 |
221 | | 213.1902 | cause I called him /RD-NAME-2/. He's like- my mom's like, | 214.8234 |
223 | | 215.0892 | he takes care of you every day, | 216.7923 |
225 | | 217.1840 | and | 217.4428 |
227 | | 217.6972 | he's the one who's- | 218.5505 |
229 | | 218.6729 | [you're on] his insurance and all this [other stuff (laughing).] | 220.9873 |
230 | DCB_int_01 | 218.8123 | [Mm.] | 219.0206 |
232 | | 220.6558 | [That clears] it up. | 221.4322 |

236 | | 224.2291 | so that's your father. I was like, I know, Mom. | 226.1385 |
238 | | 226.7077 | So, | 227.0364 |
240 | | 227.1658 | that's my father. I had one slip up, but that is my father. | 229.9286 |

248 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 239.1454 | [<ts>] | 239.3483 |
249 | | 239.9288 | I f- | 240.1666 |
251 | | 240.4910 | I feel like I should have had a closer relationship with him because | 243.5440 |
253 | | 243.7049 | kind of like, | 244.1805 |
255 | | 244.6308 | so there were t- two streets, so if you think of like, nineteenth street and twenty first street, | 248.2363 |
256 | DCB_int_01 | 248.2993 | Mm-hm. | 248.5152 |
257 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 248.5651 | a block away. We lived exactly a block away, | 251.1486 |
259 | | 251.5193 | but he would still come see me. He will come pick me up to go to my grandparents' house, every two weeks. | 255.5472 |
260 | DCB_int_01 | 256.0228 | So you- [his] parents house? | 257.4287 |

267 | | 260.2291 | So it was never like, | 261.3447 |
269 | | 261.5335 | we- it- it was never like there was a | 263.2707 |
271 | | 263.4013 | position for us not to have a good relationship, | 265.6681 |
273 | | 266.0646 | it's just that he never really worked towards | 268.1260 |
275 | | 268.2384 | having a g- | 268.7571 |
277 | | 268.9124 | good relationship. | 269.6030 |

541 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 535.7705 | [We'd] go out of town like, | 536.5768 |
542 | | 536.7052 | almost all the time, so that we can have like, | 538.9686 |
544 | | 539.3552 | that fun experience. So we can have something else about our childhood | 542.1733 |
546 | | 542.5368 | [to] be excited about. Cause my mom had | 543.9709 |
547 | DCB_int_01 | 542.5368 | [T-] | 542.8052 |
548 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 544.0270 | plenty of cousins. And she was like, | 545.2827 |
550 | | 545.5966 | we walked everywhere, | 546.8947 |
552 | | 547.2185 | so if we weren't in this part of Southeast, | 549.2209 |
554 | | 549.4622 | we would walk to the other part of Southeast. | 551.4145 |
556 | | 551.8738 | Oh like- she like, we walk in groups. I was like, okay, | 554.2595 |

592 | DCB_int_01 | 585.9182 | [Y'all were- Y'all were [close enough that-] | 588.0886 |
593 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 586.1561 | [Kind of.] | 586.5394 |

599 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 592.5754 | but like she cared aft- she took care of me | 594.8190 |
600 | DCB_int_01 | 594.9281 | [Right.] | 595.1561 |
601 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 595.1065 | [kind] of. So she always made sure I was good | 597.3034 |

604 | | 598.8531 | I had someone to play with. | 599.9898 |
606 | | 600.4387 | So she took that big sister role and made it so that I had someone to [play with.] | 603.2796 |
607 | DCB_int_01 | 602.9269 | [So there-] were there kids in like the different neighborhoods that you [grew up?] | 605.5831 |
608 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 605.2262 | [Mm-hm.] | 605.8441 |
609 | DCB_int_01 | 605.7615 | [And] did you play with them? | 606.5314 |
610 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 606.5743 | Mm-hm. | 606.9543 |
612 | | 607.2253 | I h- I had fun with everybody cause I was- I just wanted to be everybody's [friend.] | 610.7340 |
613 | DCB_int_01 | 610.3309 | [So,] | 610.7208 |
614 | | 610.8728 | what was some of the things you did as a l- | 612.6208 |
616 | | 612.7463 | like I can only imagine like little /RD-NAME-3/ running around, | 615.7131 |
618 | | 615.8222 | doing a lot. | 616.5227 |
619 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 616.5491 | Yeah that's- that's all that I did. I just- I just- | 618.5940 |
621 | | 619.2549 | I- and I- also, my mom always said that I was- I always wanted to be with the older people. | 623.0015 |
623 | | 623.3782 | Like I always wanted to talk to the adults cause I was talking- like, I started talking really early. | 627.1517 |
625 | | 627.4850 | And I started- she said on my first birthday, I just got up and started walking. | 630.1978 |
627 | | 630.6241 | So she was just like, you were very advanced | 632.5203 |
628 | DCB_int_01 | 632.6029 | Mm-hm. | 632.8937 |
629 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 632.8243 | for no reason. | 633.7098 |
630 | | 634.1493 | I was just like- I always wanted to talk to people so I just talked to the kids | 636.8980 |
632 | | 637.2020 | when I was younger or talked to my peers. | 638.8641 |
634 | | 638.9896 | <laugh> /RD-NAME-2/. | 639.7133 |
635 | DCB_int_01 | 639.7100 | [<laugh> Right.] [Cause y'all-] [both of you together.] | 642.6359 |
636 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 640.1126 | [I just-] | 640.5885 |
638 | | 640.9751 | [I didn't-] | 641.4311 |
640 | | 641.5208 | [Right. Uh- I- w- <laugh> Right. | 642.9477 |
641 | | 643.2848 | But um, I just know- | 644.3950 |
643 | | 644.5961 | well, I had a real bad like, | 645.8253 |
645 | | 645.9476 | elementary school, | 646.9422 |
647 | | 647.8277 | like, experience because I was bullied a lot in etr- elementary [school.] | 650.9664 |
648 | DCB_int_01 | 650.8408 | [What] school did you go to? | 651.6437 |
649 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 651.6272 | I went to /RD-SCHOOL-3/. Well I- | 653.0910 |
650 | | 653.5536 | First, I went to /RD-SCHOOL-3/, | 654.6700 |
652 | | 654.9740 | and then I went to uh, /RD-SCHOOL-5/. | 657.0359 |
654 | | 657.3994 | And then /RD-SCHOOL-5/ got shut down. It got closed down to be turned into a police station | 661.1196 |
656 | | 661.7110 | um, my | 662.5066 |
658 | | 662.7134 | fifth grade year. | 663.5874 |
660 | | 664.0368 | And then sixth grade, that was the year when they was putting um, | 666.6241 |
662 | | 666.8554 | no, my fourth grade year. | 667.9916 |
664 | | 668.4575 | That was the year that they were putting sixth grade in middle school. | 670.5722 |
665 | DCB_int_01 | 670.8102 | Mm. [Mm.] | 671.4380 |
666 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 671.1042 | [So], my fifth grade year I had to go to /RD-SCHOOL-3/, | 673.5225 |
667 | | 674.2429 | and then- | 674.8443 |
669 | | 674.9896 | which was in Southwest. | 676.1131 |
671 | | 676.5125 | So, /RD-SCHOOL-3/ was Northeast, | 677.9168 |
673 | | 678.3067 | and then I went to Southwest, | 679.4863 |
675 | | 680.0051 | and then, um, | 680.9006 |
677 | | 681.5940 | and then I went to /RD-SCHOOL-4/ | 682.9851 |
678 | DCB_int_01 | 683.5799 | [Mm. Mm-hm.] | 684.2375 |
679 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 683.5865 | [for middle] school. | 684.7001 |
680 | | 685.4794 | And then I went to high school and so on. | 687.1084 |
682 | | 687.3364 | [<laugh>] | 687.7792 |
683 | DCB_int_01 | 687.3430 | [So let's go back.] Why- why did you have a bad middle, uh, elementary school- | 691.1227 |
684 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 690.2603 | [Elementary-] | 690.8352 |
686 | | 691.0963 | Because when I was younger my mom- well, like, at first it was like, it was cool | 695.5500 |
687 | | 695.9664 | and then like, | 696.5909 |
689 | | 696.8717 | when my big sister left, | 698.2397 |
691 | | 698.3587 | she went to, um, middle school- when she went to middle school, cause we were always in school together, | 701.8443 |
693 | | 702.3729 | and then when she went to middle school, | 703.6649 |
695 | | 704.0345 | I was in school by myself, | 705.5479 |
697 | | 705.9477 | and people didn't really like my older sister. | 708.1517 |
699 | | 708.4817 | So then they would | 709.1557 |
701 | | 709.5390 | take all of their energy- and my sister was really like, | 711.5150 |
703 | | 711.7364 | bold, | 712.3345 |
705 | | 712.6876 | and like nobody really wanted to mess with her | 714.3331 |
707 | | 714.4455 | at [that point.] | 715.1163 |
708 | DCB_int_01 | 714.7462 | [Mm.] | 714.9477 |
709 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 715.4797 | So it was like, | 716.0580 |
711 | | 716.3851 | I was like, | 716.9369 |
713 | | 717.3165 | <ts> oh, okay. I'm little /RD-NAME-3/. | 719.4709 |
715 | | 719.8013 | And they would mess with m- they would turn their energy towards me. | 722.3848 |
717 | | 722.7251 | So now I was like, probably like fighting all the time | 725.1373 |
719 | | 725.2761 | in middle- in eme- in elementary school. | 726.8881 |
721 | | 727.2813 | And then, | 727.8001 |
723 | | 728.0248 | my mom, she cut my hair | 729.2771 |
725 | | 729.6208 | because like my sides broke off, my edges broke off. | 731.8871 |
727 | | 732.1712 | So she cut all my hair off | 733.5326 |
729 | | 734.0811 | when I was in, um, elementary school, too. | 735.9013 |
731 | | 736.2978 | So then I had to go to school. I was also bald head | 738.9676 |
733 | | 739.0834 | /RD-NAME-3/ did not have a big sister in the building anymore. | 741.9081 |
735 | | 742.4401 | So it was a struggle, | 743.5206 |
737 | | 743.8869 | but then as time went on, I got- I got better into school because | 746.5403 |
739 | | 746.8674 | that's when I took up like, speaking and stuff. | 748.5988 |
740 | DCB_int_01 | 748.8098 | [Mm-hm.] | 749.1271 |
741 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 748.9090 | [So I was] like I wanna speak at this event. Can I emcee this event? And this, that and the third. So people like, oh, she- she- she talk at everything. | 753.8782 |
742 | | 754.2681 | So now [people were being nice] to me | 755.8178 |
743 | DCB_int_01 | 754.6778 | [<laugh>] | 755.4576 |
744 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 756.3928 | cause I talked at everything. | 757.8125 |
745 | DCB_int_01 | 758.4145 | So how did you- | 759.5116 |
747 | | 760.3707 | so you used kind of your | 761.9270 |
749 | | 762.0290 | talking- but that was before you really got into poetry right? [That was just] simply | 765.7199 |
750 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 764.4643 | [Mm, yes.] | 765.0128 |
751 | DCB_int_01 | 765.9148 | you just wanted to | 766.5394 |
752 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 766.7405 | [I just wanted to talk, yeah.] | 767.8342 |
753 | DCB_int_01 | 766.7438 | [talk and be the star.] Like, cause if they gonna think I'm- | 769.2088 |
754 | | 769.4764 | they gonna pick at me for this, I'm- at least I'm'a gonna be smart. [I did the same thing.] | 772.5093 |
755 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 771.3098 | [Yes. I was always] smart. | 773.1041 |
756 | DCB_int_01 | 773.3222 | [That's the way I'm] gonna do it- that's what- | 774.7397 |
757 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 773.5006 | <laugh> | 773.9037 |
758 | | 774.8256 | Right. | 775.0404 |
759 | DCB_int_01 | 775.0735 | And so when you did that, like, what was- do you remember your first speaking [engagement?] | 778.6455 |
760 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 778.4566 | [Yeah.] | 778.6813 |
761 | | 778.7441 | Um, I don't, but my granddad does [cause he] was like, when the um- | 782.1950 |
762 | DCB_int_01 | 780.9476 | [Oh.] | 781.1789 |
763 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 782.3354 | When I was in kindergarten, | 783.3036 |
764 | DCB_int_01 | 783.3465 | <laugh> | 783.7067 |
765 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 783.6736 | he said- he said when I was in kindergarten, | 785.4178 |
766 | | 785.6888 | he was like, you went up there, cause um, | 787.3112 |
768 | | 787.4500 | it was like, not | 788.0018 |
770 | | 788.0976 | kindergarten, but it was the- the pre school graduation. | 790.1359 |
772 | | 791.0149 | And he was like, | 791.7484 |
774 | | 792.2474 | uh, the girl didn't show up. Like, she didn't come to graduation, whoever was supposed to do the em- like emcee. | 797.3289 |
776 | | 797.6362 | The graduation, she didn't come! | 799.2879 |
778 | | 799.5490 | So he was like, I went up there, and I did it anyway. <laugh> He was like, I- He was like, that- from that day, I knew | 804.1844 |
780 | | 804.5413 | that you was just gonna keep on speaking and that was gonna be your thing | 806.9534 |
782 | | 807.2537 | because you did it so well at such a young age. | 809.5634 |
784 | | 810.1383 | I was like, | 810.5547 |
786 | | 811.1660 | well, | 811.4700 |

876 | | 909.7710 | Like she's like, legit slapped me in my face! | 912.6083 |
877 | DCB_int_01 | 912.6127 | Why? | 913.0136 |
878 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 913.4579 | Because she didn't like what I was saying. Cause I told her I didn't like her as a human being. | 917.0266 |
880 | | 917.6742 | And like, I just didn't wanna [be around her. I was-] | 919.5240 |
881 | DCB_int_01 | 918.5730 | [And you were like twelve?] | 919.8280 |
882 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 919.8633 | I was like twelve! | 920.7312 |
884 | | 921.0308 | But I was out, you know, I was always honest with people. [It was just like,] | 923.8461 |
885 | DCB_int_01 | 923.2733 | [<laugh>] | 924.2558 |

898 | | 943.7752 | /they/ just | 944.3171 |

901 | DCB_int_01 | 945.6608 | [Mm.] | 945.9207 |
902 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 945.7093 | [So that's] how I grew up. But I'm- I'm- I think I'm a lot nicer than her | 949.0973 |
903 | | 949.5681 | in my [bluntness and honesty. <laugh>] | 951.5815 |
904 | DCB_int_01 | 949.8985 | [I- I need to interview your mom too.] | 951.5859 |
905 | | 951.7181 | I need to interview your mom too- [cause I bet] she has some [stories.] | 954.2079 |

908 | | 953.9077 | [Oh], she has plenty stories. | 955.5416 |
909 | DCB_int_01 | 955.5593 | Mm-hm. I [can only imagine. Just even] over the last three or four months, | 958.9385 |
910 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 956.2289 | [Plenty story.] | 957.3480 |
911 | DCB_int_01 | 959.2469 | like, sitting [by her at these little things, and she'll say something,] | 961.9249 |
912 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 959.6875 | [<laugh>] | 961.5857 |
913 | DCB_int_01 | 962.1805 | I can [only] [imagine.] | 964.1543 |
914 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 962.4713 | [<laugh>] | 963.1497 |
916 | | 963.8150 | [/Her s-/] yup. | 964.6565 |
917 | | 964.8327 | That's a interesting [one.] | 966.1633 |
918 | DCB_int_01 | 965.8857 | [Mm-hm.] | 966.4496 |
919 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 966.3219 | [Yup.] | 966.6869 |
920 | DCB_int_01 | 966.8103 | Um, okay. So you beat up the girl. Y'all slap- you got [suspended. For how long?] | 970.8460 |
921 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 969.8987 | [Yeah, in the-] | 970.7534 |
922 | | 970.9781 | I got suspended for a day! But that was because I was really- | 973.1716 |
924 | | 973.3390 | they- they were like, I didn't ever have a problem. Like, I don't get in trouble in school. | 976.8019 |
926 | | 977.0971 | If I got in trouble, it was because I did something at home. I never got in trouble at school. | 980.6078 |
928 | | 980.9515 | I- cause I was always on honor roll, | 982.7755 |
930 | | 983.0266 | and like, all of the teachers knew me, and they're like, | 984.6083 |
932 | | 984.9425 | oh, can you read this? Or something like that. | 986.5770 |
934 | | 986.9471 | I was good! | 987.7384 |
936 | | 988.0617 | So she was like, we cannot suspend her for more than a day because she's such a great student. | 992.1260 |
938 | | 992.5990 | And uh, | 993.2379 |
940 | | 993.4229 | it was just like, overturned. She was just- and then we had a meet and- we had a parent meet, | 996.8462 |
942 | | 997.2376 | and my mom came in the room, and she saw the girl. | 998.6783 |
944 | | 998.9647 | She said, that's the same one that's always messing with my child! So, | 1002.2999 |
946 | | 1002.8455 | If- [I've had] previous [engage- engagements with her.] | 1005.4968 |
947 | DCB_int_01 | 1003.0174 | [Mm, s-] | 1003.4712 |
949 | | 1004.0131 | [Issues. Yeah.] Gotcha. | 1005.9956 |
950 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 1006.0573 | And then um, it was so funny because when we graduated, | 1008.8323 |
952 | | 1008.9645 | <laugh> | 1009.4976 |
954 | | 1010.0791 | I was um, vale- I was valedictorian. She was salutatorian, tied up with another person. | 1014.5730 |
956 | | 1015.3874 | So, it was like, her- her mom had all the /??/- she's like, | 1018.0309 |
958 | | 1018.4098 | She didn't deserve that. Da da da da da. And I was like, ooh! You're mad! | 1022.5543 |
960 | | 1022.6536 | <ts> | 1023.2069 |
962 | | 1023.3077 | Okay. [<laugh>] | 1024.4538 |
963 | DCB_int_01 | 1024.0617 | [Wow.] | 1024.6829 |
964 | | 1024.8636 | [Wow.] | 1025.6346 |
965 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 1024.9737 | [And it was like the same] thing. Like, | 1026.0443 |
966 | | 1026.3175 | when we went to our eighth grade dance, | 1028.2378 |
968 | | 1028.5682 | her mom had her in like, the skimpiest outfit. It was- it was like- | 1031.6963 |
970 | | 1032.8147 | That's something that you wear to the club when you're twenty five years old type [outfit.] | 1036.4715 |
971 | DCB_int_01 | 1035.9736 | [And she's] fifteen [wearing it to the-] | 1037.9342 |
972 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 1037.1852 | [She- she's wasn't] even- | 1038.2602 |
973 | DCB_int_01 | 1038.3785 | [Wa- wh- no. Thirteen, fourteen.] | 1040.3743 |
974 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 1038.3880 | [we weren't even fifteen. We like thirteen], fourteen | 1040.9074 |
975 | | 1041.6256 | in there. | 1042.0485 |
977 | | 1042.4186 | And I had on my nice little tutu dress. I was like, cheese! [Happy birthday! Good morning!] | 1046.6078 |
978 | DCB_int_01 | 1045.7796 | [<laugh>] | 1046.5902 |
979 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 1047.5330 | So it was just- I- I think it- | 1048.8812 |
981 | | 1049.6522 | but she had a lot of animosity towards me, | 1051.4491 |
983 | | 1051.8721 | just s- | 1052.2245 |
985 | | 1052.6387 | just for being who I [am.] | 1053.8547 |
986 | DCB_int_01 | 1053.5815 | [Yeah.] | 1053.8547 |
987 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 1054.0001 | And I think that- that goes on- that been on for like, | 1056.3968 |
989 | | 1056.5245 | a lot of my life. | 1057.3742 |
991 | | 1057.8280 | This goes on for a lot of my life. Just like, | 1059.2951 |
993 | | 1059.6168 | people having feelings towards me because of who I am. | 1062.3880 |
995 | | 1062.8506 | And I mean- And I had to get- I mean I had to become comfortable | 1065.3392 |
996 | DCB_int_01 | 1065.5198 | [Mm.] | 1066.0529 |
997 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 1065.7313 | [with who] I am over [time. <laugh>] | 1067.8202 |
998 | DCB_int_01 | 1066.9429 | [<laugh>] | 1068.2029 |
999 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 1068.5157 | I have become [comfortable in my own skin. <laugh>] | 1071.4802 |
1000 | DCB_int_01 | 1069.3742 | [Comfortable in my own skin.] | 1071.1718 |
1001 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 1072.0221 | So um- | 1072.4054 |
1002 | DCB_int_01 | 1072.3834 | So today! | 1073.1676 |
1003 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 1073.1500 | [<laugh> Right. <laugh>] | 1074.2029 |
1004 | | 1074.6120 | So I think over time I just- I- with m- | 1076.5858 |
1006 | | 1077.0704 | with me becoming comfortable in who I am, | 1079.3130 |
1008 | | 1079.7668 | I just had to be | 1080.5812 |
1010 | | 1080.7486 | comfortable with | 1081.4403 |
1012 | | 1081.6430 | people being who they are | 1082.7092 |
1014 | | 1083.0396 | and being comfortable that they gonna have opinions about me. And I can't necessarily change | 1086.5378 |
1016 | | 1087.0086 | what they're saying. | 1087.8060 |
1018 | | 1088.1540 | And the- I had to- I had to learn that from my mom cause I remember one day, | 1090.8504 |
1020 | | 1091.2777 | my sister said something to me, and I like broke out in tears. | 1093.7796 |
1022 | | 1094.0659 | And my mom was like, you better get some back- back bone because the world not gonna be that nice to you! | 1098.2910 |
1023 | DCB_int_01 | 1098.6259 | [Mm.] | 1098.9831 |
1024 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 1098.7580 | [And I] was like- ever since then, I was like, alright cool. Well, whatchu gotta say is- that's whatchu gotta say. | 1102.9032 |
1025 | | 1103.3791 | But I don't necessarily have to take or receive that into | 1106.0175 |
1027 | | 1106.4316 | what I have. | 1107.1365 |
1028 | DCB_int_01 | 1107.7665 | What do you think was- | 1109.0442 |
1030 | | 1109.2865 | if you- | 1109.6522 |
1032 | | 1109.8769 | I want you to just kind of think back, before we get to high school, [think back] | 1113.3348 |
1033 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 1112.7312 | [Mm-hm.] | 1113.3392 |
1034 | DCB_int_01 | 1113.9560 | as a child | 1114.9164 |
1036 | | 1115.3262 | and in middle school, | 1116.7625 |
1038 | | 1117.6518 | what do you feel like | 1118.6783 |
1040 | | 1119.5374 | helped you learn | 1121.1500 |
1042 | | 1121.5333 | to really be comfortable with who you are? What- was there a specific incident or was it just kind of over [time?] | 1127.3526 |
1043 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 1127.0266 | [It was] over time because kids are mean. | 1129.2500 |
1044 | DCB_int_01 | 1129.6165 | [They are.] | 1130.0175 |
1045 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 1129.6430 | [Like], | 1129.9866 |
1046 | | 1130.3787 | and l- And like, | 1131.3744 |
1048 | | 1131.5198 | you know, as you get older, | 1132.6257 |
1050 | | 1132.9649 | we become a adult, you- like, people sugar coat things, | 1135.5461 |
1052 | | 1135.8456 | and it-You like- You learn to sugar coat things, | 1137.8062 |
1053 | DCB_int_01 | 1137.7269 | Mm-hm. | 1138.0265 |
1054 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 1138.0133 | but when you're young, | 1138.8636 |
1055 | | 1139.0442 | you're as pure as can be. You're like- you're like, | 1140.7757 |
1057 | | 1141.0218 | oh I don't like you, or | 1142.5197 |
1059 | | 1142.8281 | you ugly. Like, kids will tell you that you're ugly | 1144.9120 |
1061 | | 1145.4716 | real nice, <laugh> | 1147.0400 |
1063 | | 1147.1980 | just, with a smile to you're ugly. I'm like, okay. | 1150.2952 |
1065 | | 1150.7402 | [Mean.] | 1151.3086 |
1066 | DCB_int_01 | 1151.0178 | [<laugh>] | 1151.4848 |
1067 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 1151.5200 | It's cool. | 1152.1809 |
1069 | | 1152.7971 | But I think just over time, like bis- people, just al- being mean to me, | 1156.2644 |
1071 | | 1156.5948 | and I had to understand that like, not everyone's gonna like me for who I am | 1159.6738 |
1073 | | 1160.0791 | or like what I do. | 1160.8986 |
1075 | | 1161.1982 | So I might just have to get used to it, | 1162.6213 |
1077 | | 1162.9737 | and be who I am because | 1164.3395 |
1079 | | 1164.8323 | I've- and I have to love who I am as a human being too. | 1167.5022 |
1081 | | 1168.0133 | So I think that's what also came with like, Girls Only Club. | 1170.1280 |
1082 | DCB_int_01 | 1170.2640 | Mm-hm. | 1170.6253 |
1083 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 1170.6208 | When I started Girls Only Club, it was like, | 1172.1276 |
1084 | | 1172.6475 | I understand that you have- like I'm teaching young women that you have to understand that not everyone's gonna like you for what you look like, what you say out your mouth, | 1179.1806 |
1086 | | 1179.4493 | but you have to be true to who you are | 1181.2865 |
1088 | | 1181.4716 | because people will say, | 1182.5334 |
1090 | | 1182.7486 | that's not you to be like that. | 1184.1320 |
1092 | | 1184.6166 | Even if you are | 1185.4802 |
1094 | | 1185.7930 | like, the meanest person in the world, once you try to be nice, oh you're being fake because that's not | 1189.8633 |
1096 | | 1190.0307 | [you.] | 1190.3655 |
1097 | DCB_int_01 | 1190.2528 | [You.] Mm-hm. | 1191.2775 |
1098 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 1191.7093 | Regardless. | 1192.3701 |
1099 | DCB_int_01 | 1192.6962 | Yup. | 1192.9781 |
1101 | | 1193.3306 | I think- so I wanna go back cause I know we've skipped- Before we go to high school, cause I know high school was a- | 1198.0485 |
1103 | | 1198.2908 | you did some transitioning. | 1199.5641 |
1105 | | 1200.1280 | Um, | 1200.7272 |

1121 | DCB_int_01 | 1219.3346 | um, I don't know the whole story actually. | 1221.1938 |
1122 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 1221.2423 | <laugh> | 1221.7533 |
1123 | DCB_int_01 | 1221.7886 | So tell me how did you actually end up at nineteen oh one? | 1224.3351 |
1124 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 1224.5459 | Right. So, I came to the Boys and Girls Club because uh, at school, | 1228.2556 |
1126 | | 1228.5904 | they was telling that you have to go out and find | 1230.3836 |
1128 | | 1230.4755 | community service. I'm in eighth grade. I'm like, okay. | 1232.5638 |
1130 | | 1232.8810 | Community service. | 1233.6650 |
1132 | | 1233.7842 | Whatever. | 1234.2115 |
1134 | | 1234.8548 | So not even [eighth grade- No] I wasn't even in eighth grade. I was- | 1237.6033 |
1135 | DCB_int_01 | 1235.6963 | [Was that for every-] | 1236.3792 |
1136 | | 1237.6694 | Seventh [grade?] | 1238.4334 |
1137 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 1238.1452 | [I was in the] seventh grade. [I was in seventh g-] | 1239.6696 |
1138 | DCB_int_01 | 1239.0132 | [And everybody in the] school had to do [that?] | 1240.5728 |
1139 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 1240.2556 | [Everybody] in the school had to do community service. | 1242.1589 |
1140 | | 1242.4717 | So I actually came down here with three of my friends- with three uh, people- well, they were my friends- <laugh> | 1247.1367 |
1142 | | 1247.6037 | With three people that I was close with in um, seventh grade at my school. | 1250.8237 |
1144 | | 1251.2731 | And we were just like coming down here, and we aksed, do y'all have like, community service? Can we come down here and do community service? | 1255.8985 |
1146 | | 1256.4316 | So over time I was just like, I'll come down here on like, | 1258.9032 |
1148 | | 1259.0398 | a Tuesday and a Thursday. I'll come down here | 1260.7052 |
1150 | | 1261.0614 | and help with the ch- with the younger children, | 1262.8061 |
1152 | | 1263.1630 | and um, help them with their homework and stuff. | 1264.7578 |
1154 | | 1265.0530 | And then over time, they were like, oh we can invite you into the Teen Center. | 1268.1408 |
1156 | | 1268.5506 | So then that's when I s- actually started coming to the Boys and Girls Club every day | 1271.4760 |
1158 | | 1271.7535 | cause I lived about five minutes away. | 1273.4183 |
1160 | | 1273.6650 | [It was a- it was] walking distance, so it was like, hm, I'll walk down there every day after school. | 1277.3967 |
1161 | DCB_int_01 | 1273.6650 | [Mm.] | 1274.2950 |
1162 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 1277.7756 | So- cause it was also the after ks- after care program, | 1280.3523 |
1164 | | 1280.8369 | so I just came to the Boys and Girls Club, over time just started coming and coming, | 1283.9342 |
1166 | | 1284.3747 | just being here every day. | 1285.2500 |
1167 | DCB_int_01 | 1286.0219 | What do you think- so, | 1287.6828 |
1169 | | 1288.3481 | what kept you here though? | 1289.7315 |

1174 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 1291.6033 | [I-] | 1291.8192 |
1175 | | 1292.4580 | the- | 1292.9206 |
1177 | | 1293.3216 | the programs | 1294.3040 |
1179 | | 1295.0090 | and the people around me. People being- I think people being nice to me. | 1298.2730 |
1181 | | 1298.8546 | And people um, treating me as family. | 1301.0795 |
1183 | | 1302.0487 | That's what kept me- That's what kept me around cause it was like- I wasn't- | 1304.8590 |
1185 | | 1305.4493 | not that I wasn't getting it at home, it was just like, | 1307.5244 |
1187 | | 1309.1451 | u- people weren't- | 1310.1056 |
1189 | | 1310.4757 | at home, it wasn't like, | 1311.4626 |
1191 | | 1311.9736 | people always open and listen to what I was saying | 1314.0223 |
1193 | | 1314.2250 | all the time. | 1314.6655 |
1195 | | 1314.9072 | So like, | 1315.3610 |
1197 | | 1316.0615 | that's when I started with my- with like, my | 1317.6564 |
1199 | | 1317.9560 | suicide and all that stuff. (whispered) | 1319.7095 |
1200 | DCB_int_01 | 1319.8152 | Mm-hm. | 1320.1148 |
1201 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 1320.0796 | Like my- my- | 1320.8499 |
1202 | | 1321.2112 | my cl- my skeleton in my closet. <laugh> [That stuff.] | 1323.9119 |
1203 | DCB_int_01 | 1323.4053 | [Mm-hm.] | 1323.8767 |
1204 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 1324.2732 | So um, | 1324.9341 |
1206 | | 1325.1015 | that's when I started that stuff, | 1326.1941 |
1208 | | 1326.3433 | and then like, it was like, coming down here, | 1328.0439 |
1210 | | 1328.3743 | it was showing me that there is other things bigger, | 1330.9164 |
1212 | | 1331.3130 | that like, the little problems that you have in your bedroom, in the four walls | 1334.3887 |
1214 | | 1334.8634 | [of your room-] | 1335.5286 |
1215 | DCB_int_01 | 1334.9515 | [/Mm-hm/.] | 1335.4846 |
1216 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 1335.9252 | It was like, there- there's hope. | 1337.4099 |
1218 | | 1337.5068 | And like, there's- there's reasons to be happy, | 1339.8473 |
1220 | | 1340.0131 | you [know?] | 1340.4096 |
1221 | DCB_int_01 | 1340.2289 | Mm-hm. | 1340.6034 |
1222 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 1340.8942 | So I- it g- it gave me a | 1342.5111 |
1224 | | 1342.7182 | place to be and a place to feel like | 1344.2999 |
1226 | | 1344.6781 | I was comfortable. | 1345.5064 |
1227 | DCB_int_01 | 1346.4140 | And so, | 1347.0352 |
1229 | | 1347.1806 | what do you remember- like, what's your earliest- | 1349.5288 |
1231 | | 1350.0619 | I mean it wasn't that long ago, but like- cause the Club has [changed in four or five years, but-] | 1353.9428 |
1232 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 1352.2245 | [I reme- I remember coming in here for the first] day. | 1354.4186 |
1233 | | 1354.5287 | [I remember the first day.] | 1355.3526 |
1234 | DCB_int_01 | 1354.5464 | [What was it like?] | 1355.4011 |
1235 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 1355.8020 | So I walked in here, | 1356.7316 |
1237 | | 1357.1936 | and um, I s- I went to the front desk, | 1359.6035 |
1239 | | 1359.6916 | and I said, uh, do you have someone here that | 1362.2205 |
1241 | | 1362.4320 | can tell me about community service? | 1363.8456 |
1242 | DCB_int_01 | 1363.8721 | Mm-hm. | 1364.1673 |
1243 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 1364.4272 | And you know, I'm young. I- I don't really know what I'm talking about, but I was like, do y'all have [community service here?] | 1368.9078 |
1244 | DCB_int_01 | 1367.9782 | [<laugh>] | 1368.9607 |
1245 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 1369.2597 | And (laughing) | 1369.6914 |
1247 | | 1370.0131 | they sent me into the Teen Center, and Miss /RD-NAME-2/ was still working here, | 1373.0927 |
1249 | | 1373.6522 | so that was- that was like, | 1374.5378 |
1251 | | 1375.0967 | <ts> five years ago! <laugh> | 1376.8325 |
1253 | | 1376.9911 | Five years ago, | 1377.9296 |
1255 | | 1378.2512 | when Miss /RD-NAME-2/ was still working he- | 1379.3923 |
1257 | | 1379.6610 | so she came to me with a big old smile, | 1381.2905 |
1259 | | 1381.5681 | Hi, who are you? Welcome. And then, | 1383.7137 |
1261 | | 1384.0705 | she started talking to me about what- what they have there, | 1386.3527 |
1263 | | 1386.6341 | and then they took me on my first trip, like a week later, for Keystone. | 1389.9912 |
1265 | | 1390.2776 | And I wasn't even old enough to be in Keystone yet, but they still took me on the trip | 1393.8941 |
1267 | | 1394.1408 | cause she was like, your maturity level | 1395.4890 |
1269 | | 1395.9604 | is really high, [so I went.] | 1397.3086 |
1270 | DCB_int_01 | 1396.6873 | [Where'd y'all go?] | 1397.3306 |
1271 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 1397.8064 | We went | 1398.2690 |
1273 | | 1398.4585 | to do a community service project, | 1400.5594 |
1274 | DCB_int_01 | 1400.5814 | Mm. | 1400.8854 |
1275 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 1400.9823 | uh, on the National Mall. | 1402.4538 |
1277 | | 1402.8812 | Yup, we did. | 1403.6434 |
1279 | | 1404.3307 | Yeah, I remember that. | 1405.1854 |
1280 | DCB_int_01 | 1405.9029 | And so that- that just got you hooked. | 1407.4626 |
1281 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 1407.3965 | Mm-hm. | 1407.7621 |
1282 | DCB_int_01 | 1408.6697 | So it no longer became- at what point did it no longer become community service, but it became- | 1413.4714 |
1284 | | 1413.7357 | it really became, I'm just coming for me. Like, it's- I- I mean, yeah, I'm still giving back, but it's really- | 1418.9540 |
1286 | | 1419.2555 | I'm here because I wanna be here, not because I gotta get my | 1421.7227 |
1288 | | 1422.0003 | hours [logged in.] | 1422.9916 |
1289 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 1422.6435 | [Yeah], probably a- like a month after. W- Like, when I [started] really knowing people, like when I really starting to get to know people. And then I started seeing people on the bus and the train, | 1430.4889 |
1290 | DCB_int_01 | 1425.4405 | [Oh.] | 1425.7269 |
1291 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 1430.8237 | like on my way to and from school. | 1432.3525 |
1293 | | 1432.6741 | And then like, when they would speak to me, I was like, oh, | 1435.2500 |
1295 | | 1435.4932 | hey. I remember you. | 1437.0704 |
1297 | | 1437.5066 | You coming to the Club today? | 1438.5640 |
1299 | | 1438.6873 | Yeah I'm coming to the Club [today! <laugh> Right. Right!] Yup! | 1442.6739 |
1300 | DCB_int_01 | 1439.2659 | [<laugh> Just cause you asked me. That's exactly why I'm coming.] | 1442.2642 |
1301 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 1442.8061 | I see you there! Later on. | 1444.0882 |
1303 | | 1444.5948 | Four o'clock. See ya. [<laugh>] | 1446.1809 |
1304 | DCB_int_01 | 1445.9077 | [Is there] anybody here that was here when you first started? | 1448.4360 |
1305 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 1448.9251 | Pretty much everybody that's still here. | 1450.7314 |
1307 | | 1451.1764 | Um, | 1451.5288 |
1309 | | 1451.8593 | and it- it's funny because I remember um, me and n- girl, /RD-NAME-3/- | 1455.3084 |
1311 | | 1455.7533 | Well we- we are like the closest. Like, we call each other [sisters] now, | 1458.9871 |
1312 | DCB_int_01 | 1458.2426 | [Mm-hm.] | 1458.6171 |
1313 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 1459.4535 | but when we first- when I first started coming down here, | 1461.7754 |
1315 | | 1462.0882 | I remember every day, we would get into a argument. | 1464.6876 |
1317 | | 1465.6386 | Every single day. | 1466.2422 |
1319 | | 1466.4052 | Like she would walk in the door | 1467.4229 |
1321 | | 1467.7269 | and something that happen! Like, we don't even know why were arguing, | 1470.2558 |
1323 | | 1470.5642 | and that's why we would say today- we're like, I don't even know why were [arguing] back then. | 1473.8238 |
1324 | DCB_int_01 | 1473.1441 | [Mm-hm.] | 1473.4521 |
1325 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 1474.0705 | Like why were we arguing? Like she would walk in the door | 1476.3968 |
1327 | | 1476.8638 | and like, maybe I'll say something smart or she'll say something smart. | 1479.6608 |
1329 | | 1480.0882 | And we'd just be going [back and forth.] | 1481.4495 |
1330 | DCB_int_01 | 1480.8504 | [How'd y'all get close?] | 1481.8240 |
1331 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 1482.5686 | I think through Keystone, | 1483.6650 |
1333 | | 1484.2950 | through Keystone. We had to be around each other a lot more, and we had to do like, more um, leadership building things, | 1489.2288 |
1335 | | 1489.4976 | and more team work things. | 1490.6122 |
1337 | | 1490.9030 | So I- I think like going through that was like, | 1492.9869 |
1339 | | 1493.1279 | <ts> she's actually a cool person. | 1494.8109 |
1341 | | 1495.2244 | We'll be nice to each other, | 1496.6387 |
1343 | | 1496.9162 | type thing. | 1497.4802 |
1344 | DCB_int_01 | 1497.6344 | And now, is she- | 1498.3789 |
1346 | | 1498.5596 | wait. | 1498.8680 |
1348 | | 1499.2204 | [No she's not] a gradu- [she didn't grad- did she] graduate [this year?] | 1502.1372 |
1349 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 1499.2337 | [/RD-NAME-3/-] | 1499.7403 |
1351 | | 1500.2558 | [She is a graduate.] | 1501.2500 |
1353 | | 1501.6914 | [She graduate] this year. | 1502.8281 |
1354 | DCB_int_01 | 1502.8854 | Okay. | 1503.2907 |
1355 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 1503.2863 | Every- | 1503.5815 |
1356 | | 1504.0177 | all of my friends (clap) graduated! | 1505.8196 |
1357 | DCB_int_01 | 1505.4628 | [Y'all had] like fifty thousand people graduate. | 1507.2288 |
1358 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 1506.7574 | [<laugh>] Yes, all of my friends graduated this year. | 1509.3832 |
1359 | | 1509.6784 | And it's gonna- it's gonna be so hard. I think I'm'a still come down here now, | 1512.3968 |
1361 | | 1512.8455 | of course. Definitely I will, because I'm | 1514.5109 |
1363 | | 1514.6739 | Youth of the Year. (whispered) | 1515.4141 |
1364 | DCB_int_01 | 1515.5242 | [That's right, Y O] [T Y.] | 1517.6654 |
1365 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 1515.5991 | [It might make sense-] | 1516.5860 |
1367 | | 1516.8283 | [<laugh> It might make] sense for me to [come down here] | 1519.1017 |
1368 | DCB_int_01 | 1518.3219 | [<laugh>] | 1519.0885 |
1369 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 1519.4227 | all the time. | 1520.1320 |
1371 | | 1520.4404 | And also, um, I think my- my main focus for next year is for me | 1523.6919 |
1373 | | 1524.0487 | to help the- | 1524.8638 |
1375 | | 1525.0570 | the- um, like the ninth graders, | 1526.6034 |
1377 | | 1526.8325 | to transition, | 1527.6961 |
1379 | | 1527.7754 | for the younger people to transition into the Boys and Girls Club | 1530.4761 |
1381 | | 1530.7442 | and into the Teens Center for my senior year. | 1532.5462 |

1471 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 1630.3789 | [It was-] | 1630.7490 |

1477 | DCB_int_01 | 1635.1374 | [<laugh>] | 1636.5545 |
1478 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 1636.4450 | [<laugh>] | 1636.6741 |
1479 | | 1637.2425 | But um, I r- (clap) I'll never forget (clapping), he came in here with a | 1639.7135 |
1481 | | 1639.8324 | um- with a orange and green | 1641.4229 |
1483 | | 1641.7665 | and white | 1642.2252 |

1491 | | 1650.1677 | never in my life. | 1650.8279 |
1493 | | 1651.2421 | But I remember us talking to him and going back and forth | 1653.8547 |
1495 | | 1654.1102 | like with the conversation, | 1655.1808 |
1497 | | 1655.5641 | and he was like, a- and I was asking him questions and | 1658.3887 |
1499 | | 1658.6695 | he was asking us questions. I'm like, | 1659.9648 |
1501 | | 1660.2071 | but what can you really do for us? | 1661.9738 |
1502 | DCB_int_01 | 1662.1759 | Mm. | 1662.4799 |
1503 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 1663.1187 | And he was like, I can make it the best experience that you could ever have. | 1666.3393 |
1505 | | 1666.8724 | And I was like, | 1667.5288 |
1507 | | 1668.3880 | he got it. | 1668.9469 |
1508 | DCB_int_01 | 1668.9513 | [<laugh>] | 1669.5857 |
1509 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 1669.1451 | [<laugh>] | 1669.5505 |
1510 | | 1670.1012 | And I was like, and it- that's- and then I kind of asked him like, what are your best traits? You know, the | 1673.7889 |
1512 | | 1674.0884 | typical [questions.] | 1675.1363 |
1513 | DCB_int_01 | 1674.8984 | [Mm-hm.] | 1675.3302 |
1514 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 1675.8280 | And he was like- and I think what | 1677.5110 |
1516 | | 1677.7005 | mainly got me was that he was like, I'm a listener. | 1679.8328 |
1518 | | 1680.2250 | I'm a person that listens, and I feel like | 1681.7972 |
1520 | | 1682.2422 | for all of my life, it never been like, that person that was like, I'm'a listen to you. | 1685.1632 |
1522 | | 1685.8108 | So when Mr. /RD-NAME-2/ said, | 1686.8984 |
1524 | | 1687.1275 | I will listen to you. Like- | 1688.2201 |
1525 | DCB_int_01 | 1688.1761 | That was it? [You were] done. | 1689.3877 |

1531 | | 1692.6561 | [Yeah, it was like-] | 1693.4712 |

1533 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 1693.8280 | And that's- that's what we all need. That's what we all need is youth, and as people period. Don't matter how- what age you are, | 1698.6920 |
1535 | | 1699.0790 | it's like if you have that one person that would listen to what's coming out of your mouth, | 1702.1498 |
1537 | | 1702.6080 | actually give you a solution to your problem, | 1704.4629 |

1570 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 1735.8324 | [It's ju-] | 1736.2201 |
1572 | | 1736.4272 | [Even if] I don't feel like doing it, but I think that's why I also have to- | 1739.5685 |
1573 | | 1739.9959 | that's why I also teach people | 1741.2773 |
1575 | | 1741.7619 | to um, have that time for yourself | 1743.4846 |
1576 | DCB_int_01 | 1743.7665 | Mm-hm. | 1744.0617 |
1577 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 1744.1807 | cause not a lot of people have that time for themselves. | 1746.2514 |
1579 | | 1747.1099 | So. | 1747.3830 |
1580 | DCB_int_01 | 1747.9646 | How did you- | 1748.8193 |
1582 | | 1749.1982 | how did you- okay, so this was when you | 1751.4804 |
1584 | | 1752.0752 | were ending up middle school actually. So Mr. /RD-NAME-2/ around your eighth grade year, right? | 1755.4273 |
1585 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 1755.4758 | Mm-hm. | 1755.8855 |
1586 | DCB_int_01 | 1755.9252 | So talk about your time from- | 1757.8461 |
1588 | | 1758.0135 | so in eighth grade you were still in DC, | 1759.7715 |
1590 | | 1760.1585 | and then high school you started at W- /[RD-SCHOOL-4/, [so tell me- tell me] about that experience, but then tell me how did y'all end up in Maryland and kind of where you are now? | 1768.0485 |
1591 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 1762.9869 | [I started at /RD-SCHOOL-4/.] | 1764.3043 |
1593 | | 1768.0309 | Okay, because my- | 1769.1720 |
1594 | | 1769.4319 | so we moved because my mom was sick and tired of our neighborhood, | 1772.2687 |
1596 | | 1772.5770 | so- | 1773.0484 |
1598 | | 1773.2202 | Like, every day we would come home and they'll be people like, smoking | 1775.8945 |
1600 | | 1776.2338 | and drinking in front of [our apartment building.] Mm-hm. | 1778.7312 |
1601 | DCB_int_01 | 1777.3742 | [And this is right here?] | 1778.4052 |
1602 | | 1778.8105 | Um, when you were in [Parkland.] | 1779.9604 |
1603 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 1779.6520 | [When I was] in Parkland. | 1780.4979 |
1604 | DCB_int_01 | 1780.4715 | Mm. | 1780.7094 |
1605 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 1780.7402 | So they'll be people smoking and drinking like, | 1782.2073 |
1607 | | 1782.3880 | in front of our building. Loud, boisterous, cursing and | 1784.9339 |
1609 | | 1785.3524 | all that stuff, and that's not what she wanted to raise her children in. | 1787.8769 |
1611 | | 1788.2514 | So we eventually moved to- that's when we moved to Maryland to a more quieter neighborhood, | 1792.0882 |
1613 | | 1792.5816 | but I still come to the Boys and Girls club every day. [<laugh>] | 1794.9343 |
1614 | DCB_int_01 | 1794.7448 | [Mm-hm.] | 1795.2500 |
1615 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 1795.1628 | I still catch that bus and that train | 1796.8193 |
1616 | | 1797.2819 | here (laughing) | 1797.8987 |

1626 | | 1806.2778 | They don't know- okay. | 1807.0841 |
1628 | | 1807.4051 | Go ahead. | 1807.7267 |
1629 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 1807.8545 | Okay. <laugh> | 1808.4624 |
1631 | | 1808.8281 | Um, yeah, so I started at /RD-SCHOOL-4/ | 1811.4231 |
1633 | | 1811.9606 | my ninth grade and [tenth grade-] | 1813.3258 |
1634 | DCB_int_01 | 1812.7845 | [But you were still] living in DC [when you started there, right?] | 1815.2907 |
1635 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 1814.1144 | [I was still- I was still living] in [DC,] | 1815.9692 |
1636 | DCB_int_01 | 1815.6168 | [Okay.] | 1815.9560 |
1637 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 1816.2776 | um, ninth grade, and then like, | 1817.5641 |
1639 | | 1818.2250 | probably | 1818.5862 |
1641 | | 1818.8147 | the last quarter- like, the fourth quarter | 1821.1850 |
1643 | | 1821.5947 | of tenth grade, I moved- that's [when we] moved. | 1823.7579 |
1644 | DCB_int_01 | 1823.1588 | [Okay.] | 1823.5024 |
1645 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 1824.2910 | So, | 1824.6259 |
1647 | | 1824.8984 | ninth grade, I was in DC. Tenth grade | 1826.8105 |
1649 | | 1826.9867 | I was in DC. | 1827.7930 |
1651 | | 1828.1146 | I love /RD-SCHOOL-4/ | 1829.7491 |
1653 | | 1829.8549 | to [the death of me.] | 1831.0790 |
1654 | DCB_int_01 | 1830.1450 | [So tell me about it] cause I- I know a little bit about it, and I know we talked kind of how | 1833.9163 |
1655 | | 1834.0970 | it's set up, but [tell] me a little [more about it.] | 1836.0267 |
1656 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 1834.8988 | [Mm-hm.] | 1835.2248 |
1658 | | 1835.4760 | [So] /RD-SCHOOL-4/ um, is basically- when they say /RD-SCHOOL-4/ is not a school without walls. It's kind of like a glass building. | 1841.5949 |
1659 | | 1841.8945 | But it's connected to another building, | 1843.2905 |
1661 | | 1843.7267 | and um, basically when they say /RD-SCHOOL-4/, it's no limits. It's basically no limits to what your child can learn. No limits to what your child can do. | 1849.7972 |
1663 | | 1850.1056 | Cause they had the college courses there. | 1852.0133 |
1665 | | 1852.3217 | They- we /left school for less/ we wore regular clothes. | 1855.2993 |
1667 | | 1855.7311 | They- it was the | 1856.3920 |
1669 | | 1856.5858 | best experience I could [have had.] | 1858.1675 |
1670 | DCB_int_01 | 1857.7754 | [Where was it?] | 1858.3305 |
1671 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 1858.5111 | It was- it- um- George- like, Georgetown, like Northwest DC Foggy Bottom [area.] | 1862.8281 |
1672 | DCB_int_01 | 1862.2289 | [Oh, okay.] | 1862.8457 |
1673 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 1863.1894 | [Yup.] | 1863.5551 |
1674 | DCB_int_01 | 1863.2995 | [So between] Georgetown and George Washington? | 1864.8944 |
1675 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 1864.9869 | [Yes.] | 1865.3438 |
1676 | DCB_int_01 | 1865.1632 | [Right in] that area? [Okay.] | 1866.1765 |
1677 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 1866.0003 | [Mm-hm.] | 1866.3703 |
1678 | | 1866.8103 | I loved going there and the- especially the education, the way that they challenged me | 1871.0046 |
1680 | | 1871.3835 | with my education. | 1872.2558 |
1682 | | 1872.4541 | Even though I didn't do that well my tenth grade year, but I didn't do that well my tenth grade year because I lost that passion for my education | 1877.6919 |
1684 | | 1878.1065 | basically. | 1878.6007 |
1686 | | 1878.8992 | I showed that I can do it. My ninth grade year I ended school with a three point two. | 1882.1072 |
1688 | | 1882.8055 | My tenth grade year I messed up, and I think that was kind of also giving my mother the extra push to say, | 1887.2399 |
1690 | | 1887.5057 | mm, I'm taking her out of this school. | 1888.8999 |
1692 | | 1889.5842 | Because I wasn't doing my best | 1891.1416 |
1693 | DCB_int_01 | 1891.2302 | Mm. | 1891.5147 |
1694 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 1891.6266 | there | 1891.9157 |
1696 | | 1892.2561 | too, so. | 1892.8576 |
1697 | DCB_int_01 | 1893.2026 | Was it something that like, set you off that- did you- made you- or you just was like, look, [I just] don't wanna do it. | 1897.7944 |
1698 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 1896.7686 | [I-] | 1896.9691 |
1699 | | 1897.8924 | Yeah I- | 1898.2468 |
1701 | | 1898.3587 | I felt that like, that's what it was, and I think that my mom was like, oh it's because you were cheering and | 1903.0344 |
1703 | | 1903.3841 | you were playing all these sports. It wasn't that. It was just that I- I- I had the ability to do what | 1908.9411 |
1705 | | 1909.0810 | ever I need to. | 1910.1488 |
1707 | | 1910.7550 | I know I do. | 1911.5011 |
1709 | | 1912.0839 | I just didn't feel like doing it. | 1913.6961 |
1710 | DCB_int_01 | 1914.0645 | [<laugh>] | 1915.1137 |
1711 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 1914.4049 | [<laugh>] | 1914.7593 |
1712 | | 1915.3142 | And it was just- and like, I kn- li- I know myself | 1917.9487 |
1714 | | 1918.1679 | for who I am. I just did not | 1920.1484 |
1716 | | 1920.3583 | feel like | 1921.0950 |
1718 | | 1921.1743 | doing it. | 1921.8299 |
1719 | DCB_int_01 | 1922.3866 | Mm. | 1922.6897 |
1720 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 1922.8203 | Like I was doing- I feel like I was doing the bare minimum. I was doing enough to pass. | 1925.9060 |
1721 | DCB_int_01 | 1927.3934 | Just cause you just didn't care? | 1928.4333 |
1722 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 1928.6011 | Cause I /didn't/. | 1929.2819 |
1723 | DCB_int_01 | 1929.9860 | So, | 1930.4943 |
1725 | | 1931.4257 | what- okay. | 1932.2324 |
1727 | | 1932.3629 | So let's think about ninth grade, tenth grade before we move to Forestville. | 1935.8834 |
1729 | | 1936.2751 | What do you feel like was your favorite subject or what was your favorite class or your favorite experience at that school? Like, what do you vividly remember that says, dang, I love (claps) that. | 1943.9899 |
1730 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 1944.4049 | My favorite- my favorite experience was when I was cheering. | 1946.7597 |
1732 | | 1947.4218 | W- well, outside, for c- extra curric- | 1949.1739 |
1734 | | 1949.5796 | No (claps) it was not! Watch my mouth. | 1951.4028 |
1736 | | 1951.5846 | Poetry club | 1952.6711 |
1738 | | 1952.9369 | was the [best thing] | 1953.9720 |
1739 | DCB_int_01 | 1953.3519 | [<laugh>] | 1954.0420 |
1740 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 1954.3637 | I have ever put myself into. | 1956.3769 |
1742 | | 1957.0297 | I wa- I'm crazy. Why I say cheering? I think | 1959.5897 |
1744 | | 1959.8974 | <ts> th- it's poetry club and cheering | 1961.4630 |
1746 | | 1961.9293 | cause cheering, that's when I actually got into doing sports and stuff. And I was like, | 1965.5664 |
1748 | | 1965.9254 | oh, I can do a split, or I could tumble, I could do this flip. I was [excited.] | 1970.0252 |
1749 | DCB_int_01 | 1969.3048 | [It made you realize something] [that you didn't even know.] | 1970.8949 |
1750 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 1970.2747 | [And I was the-] | 1970.8809 |
1751 | | 1971.0348 | And I was the loudest on the team! | 1972.4989 |
1752 | DCB_int_01 | 1972.7449 | I | 1972.9920 |
1753 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 1972.9781 | So, [I-] | 1973.6309 |
1754 | DCB_int_01 | 1973.3791 | [wouldn't] [doubt that.] | 1974.2324 |
1755 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 1973.8454 | [<laugh>] Right. | 1974.8432 |
1756 | | 1975.3888 | So [I started um-] | 1976.5732 |
1757 | DCB_int_01 | 1975.6126 | [I wouldn't doubt that.] | 1976.5592 |
1758 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 1976.7876 | I started- | 1977.2679 |
1760 | | 1977.4265 | I started all the cheers. Like I started majority of the cheers. | 1979.9619 |
1762 | | 1980.3769 | I was like, leading everybody into the room. I was ready. I was in it. | 1984.0326 |
1764 | | 1984.4243 | But um, poetry club, | 1985.5096 |
1766 | | 1985.8314 | that's when I got to perform in front of the school, | 1988.3587 |
1768 | | 1988.7364 | and that's when people would come to me be like, | 1990.0560 |
1770 | | 1990.1958 | dang, you- you nice. You- you got words. You, | 1992.6474 |
1772 | | 1993.0670 | you know, you good. And I was like, | 1994.1768 |
1774 | | 1994.3493 | Ah! /Really!/ That's me! <laugh> | 1996.5502 |
1776 | | 1997.0107 | So, uh- and I think that's when I really really dove into like, | 2000.0089 |
1778 | | 2000.1395 | my creative | 2001.0255 |
1780 | | 2001.3472 | expression with my words, | 2002.6994 |
1782 | | 2003.0154 | and like, when I knew I could tr- I could change someone. | 2005.2116 |
1784 | | 2005.5333 | So, when we did open mics, | 2006.6711 |
1786 | | 2007.0394 | and I know I be up there reciting my poem, | 2008.9186 |
1788 | | 2009.2345 | and I'll be crying and | 2010.4562 |
1790 | | 2010.7919 | /empty/ all emotional, and then I look- and then I open my eyes, and I look in into the audience, | 2014.7228 |
1792 | | 2015.0760 | and with like my clo- my friends out there like, <crying noises> | 2017.3655 |
1794 | | 2017.4914 | <crying noises> Boo hoo, crying (claps). And it's kind of like, dang. | 2020.6761 |
1796 | | 2021.0200 | I can transform people with my words. | 2022.9831 |
1798 | | 2023.3188 | So I think that was definitely my best experience, | 2025.5897 |
1800 | | 2025.8461 | but then also the hype from cheerleading. Also, the family aspect and people pushing you | 2029.7571 |
1802 | | 2030.0742 | to do your best | 2030.9182 |
1804 | | 2031.3099 | was the best. | 2032.1259 |
1805 | DCB_int_01 | 2032.5724 | [Mm.] | 2033.2811 |
1806 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 2032.8568 | [Yeah.] | 2033.2765 |
1807 | DCB_int_01 | 2033.7987 | So it was more so everything you did outside of the [classroom.] | 2036.8902 |
1808 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 2036.5965 | [Mm-hm.] | 2037.0255 |
1809 | DCB_int_01 | 2037.1933 | Alright, so I'm'a come back to poetry, cause I know that's a big a part of your- [so we gonna come back to] that [in a minute.] We gonna come back. | 2041.8924 |
1810 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 2039.9433 | [/?/ Yes.] | 2040.7313 |
1812 | | 2041.0344 | [<laugh>] | 2041.3468 |
1813 | DCB_int_01 | 2042.4193 | But tell me- okay, so | 2043.4871 |
1815 | | 2043.7249 | then, tenth grade year, you like, | 2045.1646 |
1817 | | 2045.4397 | I gotta- your mom's like, no, we gotta go. | 2047.5007 |
1819 | | 2047.7991 | [So how'd y'all] end up | 2048.7177 |
1820 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 2047.8131 | [Yeah.] | 2048.1955 |
1821 | DCB_int_01 | 2049.1933 | where we all are now? | 2050.0979 |
1822 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 2050.1166 | We um- we just- | 2051.2019 |
1824 | | 2051.5376 | actually | 2052.1298 |
1826 | | 2052.5681 | we found our apartment | 2054.0556 |
1828 | | 2054.4286 | when | 2054.7690 |
1830 | | 2054.9415 | I was getting d- after I got my hair done. | 2057.2532 |
1832 | | 2057.3884 | I went to go get my hair [done], | 2058.7686 |
1833 | DCB_int_01 | 2058.5541 | [<laugh>] | 2059.1836 |
1834 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 2059.2209 | and we drove around the corner, and my mom saw these apartments, and she's like, oh, | 2062.6342 |
1836 | | 2063.0900 | these are nice. So she goes in there, | 2064.4842 |
1838 | | 2064.8759 | and she like, figures everything out. | 2066.7876 |
1840 | | 2067.1700 | And she's like, mm, | 2067.9674 |
1842 | | 2068.3392 | I'm moving here. | 2069.0445 |
1843 | DCB_int_01 | 2069.9899 | Okay. [That was it.] | 2071.0111 |
1844 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 2070.3956 | [And then like], | 2071.0950 |
1845 | | 2071.4914 | a couple weeks later, we were moving out. | 2073.4871 |
1847 | | 2073.8694 | And mom (laughing) was [like], oh wow. | 2075.4350 |
1848 | DCB_int_01 | 2074.3999 | [Yup.] | 2074.6936 |
1849 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 2075.9573 | If I woulda never got my hair done, we probably [woulda never moved over there.] | 2079.1933 |
1850 | DCB_int_01 | 2077.7525 | [Did- mm.] | 2079.1420 |

1868 | | 2098.6004 | [never in my life.] | 2099.2532 |

1870 | | 2104.7927 | well, | 2105.0585 |
1872 | | 2105.2905 | you know. It was probably like, ten at a time. They all just slept on the floor. | 2107.6219 |
1873 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 2107.7665 | [Oh.] | 2108.1209 |

2015 | | 2252.6804 | is your insurance cheaper? Like we- if we took a drivers ed at our school, | 2256.1111 |
2017 | | 2256.5075 | your insurance would be [cheaper.] | 2258.2514 |
2018 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 2257.6779 | [Oh, I don't-] I don't know. | 2259.1374 |
2019 | DCB_int_01 | 2259.1653 | So one of my classes I took- it was a A- it was a easy A, | 2261.8827 |

2027 | | 2270.7830 | Cause insurance [is expensive for a] seventeen [year old driver.] | 2273.8717 |
2028 | DCB_int_01 | 2271.4125 | [Is expensive.] | 2272.2611 |
2030 | | 2272.8848 | [It i- but it's] better for girls. It's more expensive for boys. | 2275.8084 |
2031 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 2275.8131 | Oh, for real? | 2276.3820 |

2037 | DCB_int_01 | 2278.9361 | [Yes, because] I think | 2280.3116 |
2038 | | 2280.4748 | they say because boys have more accidents, but generally like, if we think about chivalry, right? Chivalry is not dead. | 2285.1319 |
2040 | | 2285.5003 | But guys usually are the ones who drive on dates and all this and- | 2289.4031 |
2042 | | 2289.6969 | but they're also usually the ones who gonna get in trouble with the racing and doing all these like, [reckless things, so] | 2295.3752 |
2043 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 2294.5079 | [Oh, yeah. That makes] sense. | 2295.7296 |
2044 | DCB_int_01 | 2295.6736 | their insurance rates are a lot [higher.] | 2297.7288 |
2045 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 2297.2392 | [Oh, wow.] | 2297.8827 |
2046 | DCB_int_01 | 2298.2277 | But, we don't have to worry about that, so. | 2299.9483 |
2047 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 2299.5053 | [Alright.] Right. [<laugh>] | 2300.8110 |

2056 | DCB_int_01 | 2309.6961 | And your momma works for Toyota so I'm not sure if that's gonna [happen.] | 2312.6617 |
2057 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 2311.8131 | [<laugh>] No, but she- she works for um- | 2314.4803 |
2058 | | 2315.1179 | it's like different Toyotas, | 2316.4562 |
2060 | | 2316.9178 | different | 2317.3375 |
2062 | | 2317.5240 | dealerships. They c- they have multiple different types of cars. | 2320.4616 |
2063 | DCB_int_01 | 2320.6668 | Oh, okay. | 2320.9559 |
2064 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 2320.9221 | So they might sell a Kia or something like that | 2323.2256 |
2065 | DCB_int_01 | 2323.2582 | You know I [roll with a Kia.] | 2324.4985 |
2066 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 2323.5939 | [or a Jeep.] | 2324.2701 |
2067 | | 2324.9742 | I- | 2325.2073 |
2069 | | 2325.8508 | I wouldn't mind having one of those. | 2327.6775 |
2070 | DCB_int_01 | 2327.6775 | [Okay.] | 2328.1065 |
2071 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 2327.9992 | [<laugh>] | 2328.2883 |
2072 | DCB_int_01 | 2328.4282 | You [know-] | 2328.9085 |
2073 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 2328.6754 | [I just] want a small car. I don't want anything big. | 2331.2959 |
2074 | DCB_int_01 | 2331.3612 | I used to drive a pickup truck, and it's- | 2332.8440 |
2076 | | 2333.0293 | in DC, it is hell. | 2334.2697 |
2077 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 2334.4748 | [Right.] | 2334.8945 |
2078 | DCB_int_01 | 2334.6567 | [Parallel] parking? | 2335.5100 |
2079 | | 2335.8318 | The [worst.] | 2336.5452 |
2080 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 2336.2701 | [I will] not. [I shall not.] | 2337.9720 |
2081 | DCB_int_01 | 2337.3892 | [The narrow streets?] | 2338.4896 |
2082 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 2338.5491 | [I shall-] | 2339.1086 |
2083 | DCB_int_01 | 2338.7729 | [The worst.] | 2339.6682 |
2084 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 2339.3324 | [Right.] | 2339.6169 |
2085 | | 2339.8827 | I will not. | 2340.4562 |
2087 | | 2340.8665 | And it- and it- | 2341.5193 |
2089 | | 2341.9157 | But also with me living in DC for so long, | 2344.0641 |
2091 | | 2344.8895 | when I- like, when I went to Maryland- when I got into Maryland, it's m- and like- busses in DC come like, | 2349.0301 |
2093 | | 2349.2073 | every fifteen minutes. | 2350.1819 |
2095 | | 2350.3870 | We're good. | 2350.8766 |
2097 | | 2351.1786 | Busses in Maryland come once an hour! | 2353.3328 |
2099 | | 2353.7758 | So like, when I come to work and stuff- when I come to the Boys and Girls Club, | 2356.6062 |
2101 | | 2357.2485 | um, I have to be there- I have to catch the | 2359.1789 |
2103 | | 2359.4914 | hour earlier bus because if I miss that bus, | 2362.1446 |
2105 | | 2362.5969 | then I would be okay | 2363.9479 |
2107 | | 2364.4842 | because the bus don't come for a hour. | 2365.9110 |
2109 | | 2366.2934 | It's crazy. | 2366.9369 |
2111 | | 2367.5710 | Like, for me, Maryland is like the country. | 2369.4210 |
2113 | | 2369.9526 | It's- it's no- it's not city like. | 2371.6546 |
2115 | | 2372.0136 | I like seeing all these people, hey! How you doing? | 2374.1352 |
2117 | | 2374.5642 | You know? | 2374.9221 |
2119 | | 2375.1226 | Let's get to the train station. Let's walk here. Let's do- | 2377.4121 |
2121 | | 2378.7643 | Maryland is not my thing. That's why I'm always in DC, I sleep in Maryland. | 2382.0972 |
2123 | | 2382.6007 | <laugh> [That's- that's h- that's how I f-] that's what I feel like. I sleep in Maryland, | 2385.5850 |
2124 | DCB_int_01 | 2382.8572 | [That's pretty much all you do?] | 2384.0789 |
2125 | | 2386.2518 | So- | 2386.5083 |

2138 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 2403.1700 | [Like if you-] | 2403.7109 |
2140 | | 2404.3451 | [If your parents] drive you everywhere that you go, you do not have the full DC experience. | 2409.4451 |
2141 | | 2409.6456 | You need to catch the train everywhere you go. | 2412.1904 |
2143 | | 2412.4795 | If you haven't been to the Smithsonian museums every single year | 2416.1632 |
2145 | | 2416.4383 | of your [schooling, then you do] not have the full DC experience. | 2420.2468 |
2146 | DCB_int_01 | 2417.0573 | [<laugh>] | 2418.0738 |
2147 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 2420.5219 | If you have not heard No Child Left Behind | 2422.9046 |
2149 | | 2423.1739 | and put it all over the school board, | 2424.7173 |
2151 | | 2425.1323 | you have not | 2426.0369 |
2153 | | 2426.4379 | had the DC experience. | 2428.0280 |

2157 | | 2429.4490 | [Like- (laughing)] | 2429.8873 |
2158 | DCB_int_01 | 2429.4490 | [What do you] think some other things that are unique to DC? | 2431.8830 |

2177 | DCB_int_01 | 2460.8525 | It's like hot sauce and ketchup-ish, [sort of, but it's not.] | 2463.6700 |
2178 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 2462.7597 | [No, it's n-] | 2463.4731 |
2179 | DCB_int_01 | 2463.9301 | [It's sweet.] | 2464.7181 |

2184 | DCB_int_01 | 2467.6779 | Where you get- Where is the best Mumbo sauce? | 2469.2605 |
2185 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 2470.2798 | I don't know. | 2470.9885 |
2186 | DCB_int_01 | 2471.1040 | Where do you go? | 2471.8733 |

2210 | DCB_int_01 | 2494.7029 | That's where you get Mumbo sauce cause [if I go like a] little black place and be like, /this [ain't real]/. | 2498.5732 |
2211 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 2496.0972 | [Yes.] | 2496.5868 |
2213 | | 2497.9996 | [You're gonna get barbecue] sauce. [<laugh> You're not gonna get Mumbo sauce.] | 2500.9046 |
2214 | DCB_int_01 | 2499.3472 | [Ah. And it's- Ah.] Okay. | 2501.8034 |
2215 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 2501.9526 | [Mm.] | 2502.4655 |

2217 | | 2503.7059 | I never- | 2504.5219 |

2235 | | 2527.8318 | [<laugh>] | 2528.4426 |
2236 | DCB_int_01 | 2528.0229 | [So try it] on my fries first? [Cause I've never had it.] | 2530.4430 |
2237 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 2529.3472 | [Try it on your fries. /Yeah/.] | 2530.3777 |
2238 | | 2530.5829 | Mm. | 2530.8440 |

2240 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 2531.3791 | [It's] good. | 2532.0272 |
2241 | DCB_int_01 | 2532.2883 | Mkay. | 2532.7080 |
2243 | | 2533.4634 | Alright. I'm'a- I'm'a report back. Let you know. | 2535.6223 |
2244 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 2535.6503 | Mm-hm. [Mm-hm.] | 2536.2938 |
2245 | DCB_int_01 | 2535.9627 | [Alright], so then you moved to Fort- How was your situation- So you didn't have this | 2539.9203 |
2246 | | 2540.4752 | /RD-SCHOOL-4/ experience. You went to- | 2542.9512 |
2247 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 2543.0806 | [<sigh>] | 2544.6381 |
2248 | DCB_int_01 | 2543.7055 | [So you've been at /RD-SCHOOL-3/] since you moved there? [/RD-SCHOOL-6/.] | 2548.0326 |
2249 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 2545.6639 | [Yes, uh, for eleven- for eleventh] grade. | 2548.5922 |
2250 | | 2548.8382 | [I-] | 2549.2112 |
2251 | DCB_int_01 | 2548.8615 | [How was] that transition? | 2549.9666 |
2252 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 2550.0599 | It was horrible | 2551.1743 |
2254 | | 2551.6499 | [/actually/.] Because it was kind of like, | 2553.7762 |
2255 | DCB_int_01 | 2551.6779 | [Oh, okay.] | 2552.2421 |
2256 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 2554.3031 | I was going from a very lenient environment where I could be an individual to a school where it's all ROTC- JROTC based, | 2560.9606 |
2258 | | 2561.5003 | where I have to wear this green uniform | 2563.3328 |
2260 | | 2563.4634 | every day and these /base/ that hurt my feet. Those shoes | 2566.1725 |
2262 | | 2566.4523 | hurt. | 2566.8195 |
2264 | | 2567.5656 | And then now- with my- and then my hair is like extra long so now my hair has to be above my collar, | 2572.2425 |
2266 | | 2572.4710 | got to wear a ponytail every single day. | 2574.5122 |
2268 | | 2575.2595 | And then the kids like at the school, they didn't really care about their education. Like, at /RD-SCHOOL-1/, everyone cared about their education. | 2580.1964 |
2270 | | 2580.4482 | I went to study groups. | 2581.6512 |
2272 | | 2581.8937 | They don't do that at /RD-SCHOOL-3/. They don't go to study groups. | 2583.9733 |
2274 | | 2584.3464 | The- the | 2584.9432 |
2276 | | 2585.3582 | education is kind of like mediocre | 2587.0404 |
2277 | DCB_int_01 | 2587.2735 | Mm. | 2587.5859 |
2278 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 2587.9263 | there. | 2588.2994 |
2280 | | 2588.6398 | So, it's kind of- | 2589.5397 |
2282 | | 2589.6749 | it w- It was just a real bad transition. And also, | 2592.0903 |
2284 | | 2592.4389 | like, | 2592.6534 |
2286 | | 2592.8306 | now with me going into my senior year, | 2594.6631 |
2288 | | 2594.9289 | I don't have those programs like- | 2596.4490 |
2290 | | 2596.6914 | In DC, they have a lot of programs set up for children can have scholarships. | 2600.0336 |
2292 | | 2600.4393 | In Maryland, they don't really have that. | 2602.1645 |
2294 | | 2602.5749 | D- So, that's why I stay in the Boys and Girls Club because I can get so many scholarships | 2606.4859 |
2296 | | 2606.8496 | from the Boys and Girls Club. | 2607.7728 |
2298 | | 2608.1226 | At school, | 2608.5329 |
2300 | | 2608.6914 | I can- | 2609.1391 |
2302 | | 2609.5261 | I have not heard about one | 2611.1010 |
2304 | | 2611.3295 | scholarship in my junior year. | 2612.8169 |
2306 | | 2613.4091 | And that's the same thing | 2614.2112 |
2308 | | 2614.4023 | with um, college visits. When- when I was at /RD-SCHOOL-4/, | 2617.7631 |
2310 | | 2618.1875 | any college that came to visit, you would just had to sign up. It didn't matter what grade you were in. | 2622.3701 |
2312 | | 2623.1663 | At /RD-SCHOOL-3/, you ha- you were in the twelfth grade, | 2625.2972 |
2314 | | 2625.8614 | shouldn't you already know | 2626.8873 |
2315 | DCB_int_01 | 2626.9805 | Mm. | 2627.2976 |
2316 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 2627.2510 | what colleges you have in mind by the twelfth grade. | 2629.5067 |
2317 | | 2630.6957 | It did- did not make sense to me | 2632.2671 |
2319 | | 2632.6355 | at | 2632.9852 |
2321 | | 2633.3582 | all. | 2633.7173 |
2322 | DCB_int_01 | 2633.6986 | So have you done your ACTs or [SATs?] | 2635.7445 |
2323 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 2635.1243 | [My SAT], [yes I have.] | 2636.5512 |
2324 | DCB_int_01 | 2635.9916 | [Oh, okay.] | 2636.5698 |
2325 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 2636.9848 | I have to take it again. | 2637.9034 |
2326 | DCB_int_01 | 2638.3790 | Mkay. | 2638.6914 |
2327 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 2638.6914 | And that's because- And then | 2639.6800 |
2328 | | 2639.9458 | that's also where I was /at fault at/ | 2641.5953 |
2330 | | 2641.9310 | because um, | 2642.9475 |
2332 | | 2643.1434 | my- | 2643.5957 |
2334 | | 2643.9454 | They set me up | 2644.9246 |
2336 | | 2645.4701 | to have my SAT prep class after I took my SAT. | 2649.6190 |
2337 | DCB_int_01 | 2650.7381 | Mm. | 2651.1484 |
2338 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 2651.1391 | I took my SAT in the first semester | 2653.0590 |
2339 | | 2653.3854 | of school, | 2653.8844 |
2341 | | 2654.5605 | and then I took my SAT prep class in the second semester of school. | 2657.6240 |
2343 | | 2658.9238 | That doesn't [make- That doesn't make] sense at all. | 2660.9522 |
2344 | DCB_int_01 | 2659.4134 | [Make sense. Yeah.] | 2660.3646 |
2345 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 2661.3812 | I- And then, I would have known | 2662.6961 |
2347 | | 2663.0598 | maybe | 2663.5121 |
2349 | | 2663.9120 | if- /RD-NAME-3/ coulda got a higher score on her SAT if I didn't know I | 2666.8916 |
2351 | | 2667.0641 | shouldn't answer all of the questions | 2668.7894 |
2353 | | 2669.3349 | on the SAT. | 2670.0577 |
2355 | | 2670.4342 | I answered all of the questions. | 2671.5160 |
2357 | | 2671.7911 | I still got a good score. | 2672.9195 |
2359 | | 2673.2832 | I got a uh- I got a fourteen fifty. | 2675.1577 |
2361 | | 2675.5914 | And that's basically what a average score, with people not checking all the bubbles. | 2679.3159 |
2363 | | 2679.6469 | So I probably coulda got way higher, | 2681.4655 |
2364 | DCB_int_01 | 2682.0285 | Mm-hm. | 2682.4016 |
2365 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 2682.4715 | if I would have known | 2683.2735 |
2367 | | 2683.7678 | not [to check a- Right.] | 2685.1480 |
2368 | DCB_int_01 | 2684.0196 | [The strategies and the tips] now. And so when you taking it again? You [taking it again?] | 2687.4095 |
2369 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 2686.7847 | [I'm- I'm taking it] in Oc- in October. | 2688.5879 |
2370 | DCB_int_01 | 2688.8352 | Okay. | 2689.1430 |
2371 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 2689.1476 | Yeah. | 2689.3994 |
2372 | DCB_int_01 | 2689.7538 | [And then] that's the- But that's the score you can report [to /Temple/.] | 2692.4163 |
2373 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 2689.7771 | [R-] | 2690.0009 |
2375 | | 2691.6842 | [That's- I can-] I can res- report either score. | 2694.3841 |

2377 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 2694.9331 | [I feel] like- | 2695.3668 |
2378 | | 2695.6139 | And that's also where I'm kind of nervous /at/. I feel like- Cause a lot of people tell me, you're okay. You're gonna be okay cause you're- | 2700.1836 |
2380 | | 2700.4389 | You have like, Youth of the Year status. You have like a lot of community service and this, that and the third. | 2703.8335 |
2382 | | 2704.1785 | I'm like, but y'all, you has- you have to also factor in my grades. | 2706.9285 |
2384 | | 2707.2689 | My grades are okay. I have like- | 2708.6351 |

2391 | DCB_int_01 | 2715.5397 | [Mm.] | 2715.8474 |
2392 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 2716.8779 | Well, the beginning of my twelfth grade year | 2718.2255 |
2393 | DCB_int_01 | 2718.4948 | [/Right/.] | 2718.8072 |

2396 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 2720.7936 | [/Unintelligible/] | 2721.3812 |
2398 | | 2721.8614 | [The school.] | 2722.4023 |

2404 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 2726.2583 | [<laugh>] | 2726.5801 |

2407 | | 2727.7697 | Yup. | 2728.2593 |
2408 | DCB_int_01 | 2728.6883 | [So], do you have a back up? | 2729.9555 |
2409 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 2728.7618 | [So-] | 2729.1395 |

2411 | DCB_int_01 | 2733.4340 | Oh! I love [that- I love that campus.] | 2735.7989 |
2412 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 2734.2407 | [That's my- that's my s- that's] my second- that's my second choice. | 2737.4616 |
2413 | | 2737.9186 | And then like, my way way back up schools is like, Morgan, | 2741.5871 |
2415 | | 2742.2213 | and then like, [University of Del- and like, Del- Delaware.] | 2744.8371 |
2416 | DCB_int_01 | 2743.1212 | [No, we- we won't pass number two.] Let's-[we good. One or two, one or] two. | 2746.8702 |
2417 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 2745.1729 | [<laugh>] | 2746.6184 |
2419 | | 2746.8655 | Right. | 2747.1919 |
2420 | | 2747.6850 | /Cause it's-/ | 2748.0441 |
2422 | | 2748.1840 | it's something- it got- Something's | 2749.9652 |
2424 | | 2750.5201 | gotta give. | 2751.1915 |
2425 | DCB_int_01 | 2751.4153 | Some- You're gonna be [fine. You gonna be fine.] | 2753.1301 |

2427 | | 2756.5154 | [/but like-/] | 2756.9957 |
2428 | DCB_int_01 | 2756.6506 | [Because it's] not just about the grades. You know what I mean? It'd be different if you were going into like, | 2761.2704 |
2429 | | 2761.6201 | not even just Harvard. Cause Harvard doesn't just look [at] [grades. They look at] the whole [thing.] | 2765.9182 |
2430 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 2763.6438 | [Yeah.] | 2763.9562 |
2432 | | 2764.1381 | [<laugh> Somebody-] | 2765.2327 |

2441 | | 2770.8317 | She was like, /didn't/ I hear you talking about you going to Yale. | 2772.9393 |
2443 | | 2773.0513 | And I was like, Grandma, I'm black. <laugh> And the- I [said that! And] she was like (laughing)- | 2778.2399 |
2444 | DCB_int_01 | 2775.1869 | [<laugh>] | 2776.4085 |
2445 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 2778.9020 | And I- I had to f- I had to think about when I sa- I was like, ooh. She was like, at least you know who you are. | 2783.4565 |
2447 | | 2784.0347 | I was [like, mm.] | 2784.7342 |
2448 | DCB_int_01 | 2784.2819 | [You could go to Yale.] | 2785.2991 |
2449 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 2784.9720 | [<laugh>] | 2786.7252 |
2450 | DCB_int_01 | 2786.4734 | [But] no, Temple is- | 2787.5039 |
2451 | | 2787.6158 | Temple is a good school, [but they-] | 2788.9017 |
2452 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 2788.6638 | [Yeah.] | 2789.0089 |
2453 | DCB_int_01 | 2789.2047 | You do have a well rounded- you know what I mean- like, experience. | 2792.5667 |
2455 | | 2793.0376 | The community service, | 2794.1847 |
2457 | | 2794.5379 | you- the arts, like, with the poetry and the photography, which we gonna talk about. Don't think I forgot, | 2798.3088 |
2458 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 2798.2869 | [<laugh>] | 2798.7066 |
2459 | DCB_int_01 | 2798.5480 | [and] um, | 2799.9935 |
2460 | | 2800.1847 | so like, I think that is- it's not- they not just gonna look at, oh, | 2803.3030 |
2462 | | 2803.5595 | well you have a three point oh. First of all, a three point oh is a good | 2806.1055 |
2463 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 2806.4412 | [Right.] | 2806.9401 |
2464 | DCB_int_01 | 2806.4458 | [GPA.] | 2806.9156 |
2465 | | 2807.0788 | So | 2807.5591 |
2467 | | 2807.7130 | they not gonna say, oh well, | 2809.0233 |
2468 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 2809.0139 | Yeah. | 2809.2657 |
2469 | DCB_int_01 | 2809.2657 | it's not good enough. [Goodbye.] | 2810.5107 |
2470 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 2810.1424 | [Yeah.] | 2810.5294 |
2471 | | 2810.7812 | It's just- And I also think because like, | 2812.5344 |
2473 | | 2812.7198 | with my scholarships, | 2813.5498 |
2475 | | 2813.8902 | like, no one is my family- | 2815.3637 |
2477 | | 2815.5269 | in my immediate family, like my dad, | 2817.5739 |
2479 | | 2817.8770 | my um, | 2818.4179 |
2481 | | 2818.9261 | /RD-NAME-2/, he did- he didn't graduate | 2820.9440 |
2483 | | 2821.2424 | from high school. | 2821.9605 |
2485 | | 2822.6786 | But that was because he was doing other things | 2824.6743 |
2486 | DCB_int_01 | 2824.7664 | Mm-hm. | 2825.0042 |
2487 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 2825.1441 | that weren't really- But he's smart. He's a smart man, | 2827.5082 |
2489 | | 2827.8393 | but he was like, he was bored in school, | 2829.5599 |
2491 | | 2829.9096 | and they were just doing the same thing over and over every year. | 2832.5523 |
2493 | | 2832.9627 | And it wasn't really progressing. | 2834.5154 |
2495 | | 2834.8698 | So, and then my mom | 2835.9329 |
2497 | | 2836.2267 | who had a child at fifteen, | 2838.0720 |
2499 | | 2838.5104 | she didn't finish school. But then she went back- She went back to school | 2841.6065 |
2501 | | 2841.9796 | and got her GED- Well she went- | 2843.6431 |
2503 | | 2843.7736 | I- | 2843.9834 |
2505 | | 2844.0954 | Yeah, she got her GED, | 2845.2051 |
2507 | | 2845.7274 | and then she went on to try to- She got her Associate's degree | 2848.7583 |
2509 | | 2849.0742 | I think in Communications. | 2850.2865 |
2511 | | 2850.6129 | But no one has got like a Master's degree. My older sister, | 2853.1029 |
2513 | | 2853.4713 | she um, went to /Medtech/, | 2854.8608 |
2515 | | 2855.3586 | and she d- Like she doesn't have- Like she didn't go to a university, | 2858.2869 |
2517 | | 2858.6739 | a college. So I want to be that one, and I think that- ever since- everyone before me | 2862.5104 |
2519 | | 2862.8974 | hasn't really had that experience. Like, my grandparents, great grandparents, | 2865.9236 |
2521 | | 2866.2034 | nobody. | 2866.7303 |
2523 | | 2867.4426 | So it's like, I wanna be that one to show my younger siblings that you can do it. | 2871.0889 |
2525 | | 2871.3827 | Or even my big sister, if [she wanted to go back to school.] | 2873.6943 |
2526 | DCB_int_01 | 2872.2547 | [That's right. She can go back.] | 2873.7214 |
2527 | | 2873.9741 | [Yup.] | 2874.5337 |
2528 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 2873.9788 | [And the- my] dad, and I try to kind of encourage my dad. Like, you need to go back to school | 2877.6998 |
2529 | | 2878.0961 | and get your um, | 2878.9075 |
2531 | | 2879.5078 | <ts> get- and get your d- d- get your GED at least. | 2881.7600 |
2533 | | 2882.1237 | But I mean he does- | 2882.8978 |
2535 | | 2883.0610 | He kind of does really well at his job, | 2884.8655 |
2536 | DCB_int_01 | 2885.0602 | Mm-hm. | 2885.3679 |
2537 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 2885.3493 | and he has a good position at his job, so he doesn't really | 2888.0118 |
2538 | | 2888.3009 | feel like he needs to go back, | 2889.8676 |
2539 | DCB_int_01 | 2889.9329 | Mm-hm. | 2890.2780 |
2540 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 2890.2873 | you know? | 2890.5951 |
2542 | | 2890.8888 | But also, sometimes, w- we kind of teach him still | 2893.2471 |
2544 | | 2893.6714 | when we try to get him to help my brother and sister with their homework, | 2896.7629 |
2546 | | 2897.1115 | and he's like, I can't really help them because I don't really know- I'm like, kind of, that's because you're kind of older now. | 2901.6905 |
2548 | | 2902.0215 | You don't really remember everything, so we not gonna say that it's because you didn't graduate. | 2905.1632 |
2550 | | 2905.5409 | It's because you don't [remember.] | 2906.8651 |
2551 | DCB_int_01 | 2906.3475 | [Mm-hm.] | 2906.8465 |
2552 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 2907.4946 | So I can help them | 2908.5811 |
2554 | | 2908.6930 | in that aspect too, | 2909.8296 |
2555 | DCB_int_01 | 2910.0021 | Mm-hm. | 2910.3472 |
2556 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 2910.4637 | [so.] | 2910.7482 |
2557 | DCB_int_01 | 2910.6223 | [So], | 2910.9813 |
2558 | | 2911.0839 | talk about um- | 2912.3335 |
2560 | | 2912.9164 | Because I think- Well two things. One, I'm- This is not even a question. This is like- The Boys and Girls Club, I do think | 2917.4429 |
2562 | | 2917.6481 | is really for people, especially in your situation where nobody in their co- family has gone to like, a four year university | 2922.8647 |
2564 | | 2923.2005 | or had that exper- Cause there's a [lot that] goes into that. | 2925.6158 |
2565 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 2924.5061 | [Right.] | 2924.9444 |
2566 | DCB_int_01 | 2925.8117 | So I think that this has like- d2D and stuff like that, [Keystone and being] able to [s- do all these-] Youth of the Year even | 2931.2102 |
2567 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 2928.6502 | [Yeah.] | 2929.1212 |
2569 | | 2929.4942 | [Definitely.] | 2930.1983 |
2570 | DCB_int_01 | 2931.5133 | [helped you kind] of realize, | 2932.9168 |
2571 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 2931.5552 | [Yeah.] | 2931.9702 |
2572 | DCB_int_01 | 2933.3353 | you know- This is what college is- This- [I need] to do these things to get prepared, | 2937.0563 |
2573 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 2934.8134 | [Right.] | 2935.1771 |
2574 | | 2937.4806 | [Right.] | 2937.7417 |
2575 | DCB_int_01 | 2937.4899 | [um], | 2938.0915 |
2576 | | 2938.3246 | and so I'm glad [you had the opportunity.] | 2940.0720 |
2577 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 2938.8644 | [Yeah, and that- and that's the same] thing like, cause my older sister, | 2941.7087 |
2578 | | 2942.1051 | she- she was gonna go- she was gonna go to Clark Atlanta, | 2944.6790 |
2579 | DCB_int_01 | 2944.8737 | Mm-hm. | 2945.1208 |
2580 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 2945.1721 | but it was some things that were like, messed up with her room and board, | 2947.8486 |
2582 | | 2948.1610 | and she never went- She never went to school. She had plenty scholarships. | 2951.0613 |
2584 | | 2951.6291 | She had plenty /thing-/ | 2952.1979 |
2586 | | 2952.4311 | And I think that's where kind of I'm at fault because I'm not in those programs, | 2955.6065 |
2588 | | 2955.9003 | like the achievements programs | 2957.0089 |
2590 | | 2957.3260 | where people basically get their | 2958.9720 |
2592 | | 2959.0652 | t- tuition paid off. | 2961.0470 |
2594 | | 2961.3454 | And it's kind of like, | 2962.1801 |
2596 | | 2962.8364 | people like me are at fault because | 2964.2865 |
2598 | | 2964.5243 | we wanna go to school. | 2965.5875 |
2600 | | 2965.7927 | I wanna do these things. I wanna work hard in order | 2968.2313 |
2602 | | 2968.5578 | to get to a university. I wanna work for what I- | 2971.0652 |
2604 | | 2971.2051 | what I want to earn. | 2972.2356 |
2606 | | 2972.7952 | But it's some people who are just getting stuff handed to them, | 2975.1499 |
2608 | | 2975.4426 | and they're not really going to use it. | 2976.8368 |
2609 | DCB_int_01 | 2977.3637 | What do you- What do you mean it's- you're at fault? | 2978.9770 |
2610 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 2979.2894 | N- | 2979.5646 |
2611 | DCB_int_01 | 2979.5412 | Why are you feel like you're at fault? | 2980.7349 |
2612 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 2980.8842 | Because I don't- Like, I'm not in DC anymore. I feel like that's [my-] | 2984.1330 |
2613 | DCB_int_01 | 2983.9745 | [But] that's not your fault. | 2984.9257 |
2614 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 2984.9211 | Huh? | 2985.0889 |
2615 | DCB_int_01 | 2985.2195 | That's- Mommy made that decision. | 2986.5344 |
2616 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 2985.3407 | [It's not- it's not- Yeah, you're] right. | 2986.8781 |
2617 | DCB_int_01 | 2987.0555 | But you did go get your hair done, so. | 2988.4497 |
2618 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 2988.4404 | [<laugh>] | 2989.4243 |
2619 | DCB_int_01 | 2988.7248 | [It's kind of your fault] cause that one day. No, [I'm just] kidding. | 2990.7672 |
2620 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 2990.2123 | [Right.] | 2990.5527 |
2621 | | 2990.9817 | Yeah, but um, | 2991.9422 |
2623 | | 2992.1194 | I feel like because they have- DC has so many programs | 2995.3124 |

2720 | | 3089.1255 | it started when I was in like, | 3090.4404 |
2722 | | 3092.0957 | sixth or seventh grade. I don't- | 3093.6019 |
2723 | DCB_int_01 | 3094.3106 | After you [emceed] the kindergarten [program. Right.] | 3096.4684 |

2736 | | 3110.1284 | [Some years ago- Yeah, so]- So it was like two thousand eleven. Or may- it might have been- it might have been further back. | 3114.7575 |
2737 | DCB_int_01 | 3110.1377 | [We'll go with that. Mm-hm. We'll go with that. | 3111.5150 |
2738 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 3115.3310 | I don't really remember. | 3116.2496 |
2740 | | 3116.5993 | But I still have my first poem book from when I first started writing, | 3119.2980 |
2742 | | 3119.6897 | and it was because I was | 3120.7062 |
2744 | | 3120.9207 | in a dark place, | 3122.0957 |
2746 | | 3122.3475 | and like, | 3122.8045 |
2748 | | 3124.2826 | I remember we were doing like, journaling- We were like, journaling in school. | 3127.7523 |
2749 | DCB_int_01 | 3127.6807 | Mm. | 3127.9512 |
2750 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 3128.2263 | Like kind of doing like, journals of- like how our day was going. | 3130.4412 |
2752 | | 3130.7116 | Kind of like the freedom writers type [thing.] | 3132.3250 |
2753 | DCB_int_01 | 3132.1700 | [Mm-hm.] | 3132.6736 |
2754 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 3132.7342 | So, we were kind of like doing this- | 3134.5341 |
2756 | | 3134.6413 | that type stuff, | 3135.3874 |
2758 | | 3136.1381 | and um, | 3136.7583 |
2760 | | 3137.1861 | over time, I was just like, mm, I- I write well. It's cool for me. | 3140.5014 |
2762 | | 3140.8278 | So then I started going to my room like, when I was going through something- Like when I was feeling bad or down, | 3144.9533 |
2764 | | 3145.3030 | I'd just write it out. | 3146.1703 |
2766 | | 3146.6973 | And it might- it might- it might be deep. It might not. It might just be | 3149.6104 |
2768 | | 3149.7363 | a journaling | 3150.3845 |
2770 | | 3150.5337 | entry, | 3150.9207 |
2772 | | 3151.2378 | how I'm feeling a certain day. | 3152.6273 |
2774 | | 3153.0423 | But that's how I started writing. | 3154.1987 |
2776 | | 3154.6732 | And then over time, like I started letting my teacher- Like my d- um, | 3157.6155 |
2778 | | 3157.8253 | my | 3158.1051 |
2780 | | 3158.2683 | English teacher, I started letting her read | 3159.7744 |
2782 | | 3160.2127 | what I was writing. | 3160.8131 |
2784 | | 3160.9623 | And she was like, you're really good with words. | 3162.4684 |
2786 | | 3162.8041 | Keep writing. | 3163.5036 |
2788 | | 3163.9559 | And that's what she said- keep writing. So I'm'a keep | 3165.8070 |
2790 | | 3165.9702 | writing, | 3166.4878 |

2794 | | 3169.1165 | kept going and going and going. And I think it just- | 3171.2661 |
2796 | | 3171.4806 | it just came kind of naturally. | 3173.1255 |
2798 | | 3173.7876 | It was just like a thing that I did. | 3175.1678 |

2915 | | 3301.1663 | the people that tell you that you wouldn't get this- that you wouldn't get this far. | 3305.3431 |
2917 | | 3305.7394 | Um, appreciate the fight because it only makes your story | 3308.6992 |
2919 | | 3308.9883 | way more worth telling, | 3310.3312 |
2921 | | 3310.7975 | so. | 3311.0633 |
2922 | DCB_int_01 | 3311.0960 | Yes I remember it, and then you also did that one for um- Or you did a piece of that one for when we did- went out to um, | 3316.7369 |
2924 | | 3317.6275 | the Country [Club], | 3318.5181 |
2925 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 3318.2850 | [Yeah], I did [it.] | 3319.0777 |
2926 | DCB_int_01 | 3318.8632 | [I] remember. | 3319.5335 |
2927 | | 3319.7806 | And you use a lot of metaphors with eyes. [Why?] | 3322.2677 |
2928 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 3321.7530 | [Mm-hm.] | 3322.2660 |
2929 | | 3323.0447 | Um, | 3323.3897 |
2931 | | 3324.0472 | they're the window to the soul! [<laugh>] | 3326.0884 |
2932 | DCB_int_01 | 3325.4076 | [They are.] They [are.] | 3326.7738 |
2933 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 3326.4568 | [They're a] window to the soul. | 3327.5246 |
2934 | DCB_int_01 | 3327.7391 | Um, | 3328.4432 |
2936 | | 3328.7043 | I'm- I love | 3329.8001 |
2938 | | 3330.1218 | the picture you sent with the eyes? I love, | 3332.2096 |
2940 | | 3332.4614 | love that picture. | 3333.5525 |
2942 | | 3333.7437 | Lo- Like, | 3334.6064 |
2944 | | 3335.4970 | I- I- I do feel like it's very telling, right? | 3337.8133 |
2945 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 3338.1070 | [Yeah.] | 3338.4941 |
2946 | DCB_int_01 | 3338.1070 | [There's so] much | 3339.2261 |
2947 | | 3339.5339 | when you look into a person's eyes [/that you/-] | 3341.1706 |
2948 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 3340.7882 | [So that's] like the same- Like when I um- | 3342.6860 |
2949 | | 3343.2316 | I had pain filled [eyes with] a nothing wrong smile, a young girl who did not love herself. | 3348.3316 |
2950 | DCB_int_01 | 3344.2796 | [Eyes.] | 3344.7738 |
2951 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 3348.7606 | So I think like, | 3349.4041 |
2953 | | 3349.8599 | um, people in general- | 3351.0723 |
2955 | | 3351.3427 | And l- | 3351.6458 |
2957 | | 3351.8090 | It's crazy how I'm seventeen and like, all this is coming out of my mouth. | 3355.5440 |
2959 | | 3355.8786 | But um, | 3356.3355 |
2961 | | 3356.6899 | I feel like just people in general, they always like- | 3359.1286 |
2963 | | 3359.2731 | People always smiling. People are always | 3361.2502 |
2965 | | 3361.5848 | like, <laugh> I'm good. I'm good. I'm good. | 3363.6458 |
2967 | | 3363.8603 | When you look at somebody's eyes, you can see them tired. | 3366.4202 |
2969 | | 3366.9005 | You can see them sad. | 3367.8517 |
2971 | | 3368.2516 | And you can see like, | 3368.9883 |
2973 | | 3369.2681 | maybe I was talking right now, | 3370.6437 |
2975 | | 3370.9561 | but you will never know in like a few more seconds I might break down. | 3373.3715 |
2977 | | 3373.7293 | [But you could see that] in my eyes | 3375.2168 |
2978 | DCB_int_01 | 3373.7806 | [Mm.] | 3374.3029 |
2979 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 3375.3847 | first. | 3375.9815 |
2980 | DCB_int_01 | 3375.3987 | [Mm.] Mm-hm. | 3376.4571 |
2981 | | 3377.4457 | I could, like when you were talking about Mr. /RD-NAME-2/. | 3379.1849 |
2982 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 3379.3143 | Yup. | 3379.6268 |
2983 | DCB_int_01 | 3380.2656 | Like, | 3380.6153 |
2985 | | 3381.0816 | you know your words were saying one thing, | 3383.1286 |
2987 | | 3383.6042 | but your eyes were [telling a very-] | 3385.0777 |
2988 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 3384.2430 | [<laugh> Right.] | 3385.0724 |
2989 | DCB_int_01 | 3385.2549 | I mean they were telling the same story but in a very different kind of- a deeper way. | 3389.1892 |
2990 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 3389.1799 | Right. | 3389.4970 |
2991 | DCB_int_01 | 3389.6415 | Um, | 3390.1498 |
2993 | | 3390.9553 | can you- | 3391.4134 |
2995 | | 3391.6781 | I- I just love | 3392.5827 |
2997 | | 3392.7225 | this poem. The um, | 3393.7764 |
2999 | | 3394.0515 | brother. Can you just tell- Like, do the first part of that? | 3396.1871 |
3000 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 3396.2710 | Oh, um, | 3396.9658 |
3002 | | 3397.8646 | My brother was aksed in a prompt the other day what he wanted to be when he grew up. | 3402.1964 |
3004 | | 3402.8492 | I saw the gears working in his mind to have the greatest answer that ever was. | 3407.2265 |
3006 | | 3407.5203 | My brother looked at me, and said, You know what /RD-NAME-2/? | 3410.0651 |
3008 | | 3410.3868 | I want to be alive. | 3411.3940 |
3010 | | 3411.9535 | It's sad that already my brother believes that his life will come to a end | 3415.6967 |
3012 | | 3416.0138 | well before it even started. | 3417.5992 |
3014 | | 3417.9862 | No doctor, no football player, no firefighter. Just alive. | 3421.1150 |
3016 | | 3421.5580 | He just wants to be able to breathe the air that peo- | 3423.9675 |
3018 | | 3424.0841 | that people play with so effortlessly. | 3425.8420 |
3020 | | 3426.1218 | He definitely doesn't wanna be the next | 3427.8459 |
3022 | | 3428.1630 | 'I just saw him about a week ago' type boy. | 3430.3079 |
3024 | | 3430.7929 | I looked at him, and I said, 'Man, | 3432.6394 |
3026 | | 3432.8865 | you will be.' | 3433.7014 |
3028 | | 3434.3682 | But I wonder if he could decode the Morse code in my voice saying, 'Dang, | 3437.9446 |
3030 | | 3438.2384 | I wonder if you'll be alive, too.' | 3439.6745 |
3032 | | 3440.2283 | But we all know that these questions come along too often in young African American young men lives. | 3444.8585 |
3034 | | 3445.3155 | We all know | 3445.9765 |
3036 | | 3446.1677 | that they're all put on the pedestal | 3447.5152 |
3038 | | 3447.7344 | of disappointment well before they're put on the pedestal of success. | 3451.1943 |
3040 | | 3451.9019 | Yeah. | 3452.0931 |
3041 | DCB_int_01 | 3452.5593 | I love [/it/.] | 3453.0629 |
3042 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 3452.9464 | [<laugh>] | 3453.5292 |
3043 | DCB_int_01 | 3453.5852 | I- | 3453.8416 |
3045 | | 3454.0421 | Did you write that for um, | 3455.3478 |
3047 | | 3455.8793 | /when y'all went/ for Our Lives Matter, or had you already written- [You- No you wrote that before cause I saw] it. | 3459.9535 |
3048 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 3457.8599 | [I already- I wr- I wrote it-] | 3459.4406 |
3049 | | 3460.0468 | Yeah. | 3460.3499 |
3050 | DCB_int_01 | 3460.3965 | That's [the one] [that you] t- um, Mr. /RD-NAME-2/ sent me the link. | 3463.2316 |
3051 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 3460.6297 | [I-] | 3460.9001 |
3053 | | 3461.0027 | [I-] | 3461.2545 |
3054 | | 3463.2456 | Yeah. | 3463.6466 |
3055 | DCB_int_01 | 3463.8366 | But then I remember w- at the [thing-] | 3465.9629 |
3056 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 3465.1609 | [I wrote it- Yeah], cause it- [it was real- it was real] life. It was real life. | 3468.6953 |
3057 | DCB_int_01 | 3466.5178 | [It was so perfect.] | 3467.5483 |
3058 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 3469.0544 | Cause I was just helping him with his homework, | 3470.8624 |
3060 | | 3471.3474 | and my man's like, I wanna be alive. And I'm like, what? | 3474.1183 |
3061 | DCB_int_01 | 3474.1917 | Cause [that was right after um]- | 3475.9159 |
3062 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 3474.4062 | [What do you mean?] | 3475.6512 |
3063 | DCB_int_01 | 3477.1935 | Was that right after Ferguson? | 3478.3639 |
3065 | | 3478.8162 | Or it was before that. | 3479.6369 |
3066 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 3479.6462 | It was before that. It was before that. | 3481.0404 |
3068 | | 3481.5440 | It was before that. | 3482.1024 |
3069 | DCB_int_01 | 3483.4453 | It wasn't Trayvon Martin though. It wasn't [that long] [ago.] | 3485.7628 |
3070 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 3485.0027 | [Mm-mm.] | 3485.3711 |
3072 | | 3485.5249 | [It was] like- It was like, in the middle. [It was like, in the middle. Yeah], but it was just- it was just crazy. Like, before all of that- the stuff did happen- It's just sad | 3491.3244 |
3073 | DCB_int_01 | 3486.6813 | [Oh in between /that/. Okay.] | 3487.7072 |
3074 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 3491.7394 | that my brother- He's eleven years | 3493.4927 |
3076 | | 3493.8086 | old, | 3494.2329 |
3078 | | 3494.6339 | and he's not even really into the streets. Like, he- he's not even into the streets, but he's just like, | 3498.9238 |
3080 | | 3500.5593 | It's a possibility | 3501.6225 |
3082 | | 3502.3079 | that something will happen to me, | 3503.7628 |
3084 | | 3504.0239 | of me just being a young African American young man. | 3506.8578 |
3085 | DCB_int_01 | 3507.7950 | That's crazy. | 3508.4571 |
3086 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 3508.5644 | And it's cra- You're eleven years old, man! | 3510.6767 |
3088 | | 3510.8166 | Play some video games or something. | 3512.5547 |

3092 | | 3514.1820 | /Go on/ Youtube or something like, | 3515.4690 |
3094 | | 3516.0472 | that should not be what you're worrying about. | 3517.7865 |
3096 | | 3518.2096 | Your life- You should be enjoying your life at this point in your life. | 3521.1379 |
3097 | DCB_int_01 | 3521.3384 | That's real. | 3521.8980 |
3098 | DCB_se2_ag1_f_01 | 3522.1638 | Right. | 3522.4389 |
