64DCB_se2_ag2_f_0188.0438So, [uh],88.7575
65DCB_int_0188.4888[That's] fine.89.1437
66DCB_se2_ag2_f_0189.2570But no, my father was killed a month before I was born. So I never met him, [never met that] side of the family.94.0961
67DCB_int_0192.4883[Oh.]93.0928
68DCB_se2_ag2_f_0194.2682Nothing at all about him.95.6661
70 96.5718/Not nothing/.97.9026 
71DCB_int_0197.9445What about your98.7043
73 98.9604mom?99.2123 
74DCB_se2_ag2_f_0199.5313My mom, um, she's a patient101.6722
76 101.8643and registration clerk at /RD-WORK-2/.103.7659 
78 104.9791But I was raised106.3350 
80 106.5323by my grandparents.108.0509 
82 108.6135My mom in the household,109.9568 
84 110.2674but she was young when she had me. She had me at fourteen. So my grandparents raised me.113.6960 
86 114.3425So my grandfather would have been my father figure.116.6178 
88 117.4657I don't know if you want to use him.118.6905 
89DCB_int_01120.3192Well,120.5165
91 121.1252then let's talk about your grandparents.122.3053 
92DCB_se2_ag2_f_01122.5525Mkay.122.8506
93DCB_int_01123.3795So,123.7825
95 125.1122that's all I'm gonna be writing.126.0945 
97 126.3464That's it.126.6444 
98DCB_se2_ag2_f_01126.7074[<laugh>]128.2774
99DCB_int_01127.4546[Um,]128.2270
100 128.6720so tell me a little bit about130.1528
102 132.6799your house,133.4187 
104 133.5153like your family,134.4798 
106 134.7065especially because you said your grandparents raised you, so tell me how was that dynamic.138.0773 
107DCB_se2_ag2_f_01138.4719Okay.139.1478
109 139.2433So my mom had me at fourteen,141.3171 
111 141.7411and so for insurance purposes and legal purposes, my grandparents had to adopt me146.4710 
113 146.9202because if they didn't, I wouldn't have been able to get insurance and stuff like that.149.5984 
115 150.0424And so although my mom was in the household, it was more like we was raised a-153.8582 
117 154.4711as sisters155.7840 
119 156.2122opposed to mother and daughter.157.5933 
121 157.9501And then eventually once she got older to move out on her own,160.3639 
123 160.7375I just naturally stayed with162.2477 
125 162.5793my grandparents.163.7380 
126DCB_int_01164.3341Mm, so when y- when did your mom leave? How old was your mom?166.5086
127DCB_se2_ag2_f_01167.2505When my mom left, she was maybe in her early twenties, like twenty [two.]172.5483
128DCB_int_01171.9186[So you were like-]172.5315
129 172.8915elementary [school?]173.9367
130DCB_se2_ag2_f_01173.6261[Mm-hm.]174.5454
131DCB_int_01174.8812[But you] had already really gotten close to your-177.3306
132DCB_se2_ag2_f_01174.9022[Yeah.]175.1877
134 177.2992[Grandparents.]178.2090 
135DCB_int_01177.7064[Did you make] that decision? Or did your mom make that- Or did they make that decision? For you to stay?181.5968
136DCB_se2_ag2_f_01182.3021I think it- it may have been both184.2404
138 184.5427because I'm not gonna say that I was spoiled, but I was spoiled.187.2125 
140 187.4938So even when my mom tried to do189.0711 
142 189.1845that discipline thing, my grandparents kind of step in and was like, no.192.3539 
144 192.7611And she didn't like that, like, at the end of the day, she's still my child.195.6272 
145DCB_int_01196.2569[Mm-hm.]196.5549
146DCB_se2_ag2_f_01196.2737[And so when she] tried to discipline me, they kind of disciplined her.198.3096
147DCB_int_01199.0978Because their- [She was their child. You see how that-]201.7131
148DCB_se2_ag2_f_01199.8954[<laugh>]202.0363
149DCB_int_01202.0993[that's that children- Mm-hm.],203.1697
150DCB_se2_ag2_f_01202.3386[Uh-huh.]203.1278
151DCB_int_01203.2495but it didn't quite work.204.3074
152DCB_se2_ag2_f_01204.3577[Mm-hm.]204.8657
153DCB_int_01204.6894[Mm-hm.]205.0630
154DCB_se2_ag2_f_01205.2970So,205.9183
156 206.2331and then after- because she was still young, I think it may have been like a type of209.1884 
158 209.7426envy.210.2967 
160 211.2234Type of211.7103 
162 212.0630[thing.]212.5121 
163DCB_int_01212.0630[What do you mean?]212.5121
164 213.8093She was envious of [you?]215.3163
165DCB_se2_ag2_f_01215.1274[I] believe so cause we had like uh, a rocky patch in our relationship.218.8919
166 219.2739And it wasn't until I really got older, probably like high school,222.5808
168 223.1475college that we got like, real close.225.2338 
169DCB_int_01225.4185Mm.225.6872
171 226.2571So tell me about- Okay. So tell me about your neighborhood, your house, like what you remember. Like, I mean like,231.1224 
173 231.3323physically. Your block,232.6116 
175 232.9138and like,233.2497 
177 233.4596did you play with other kids in the neighborhood?235.5417 
178DCB_se2_ag2_f_01236.2302Okay, so237.2670
180 237.8999again, my grandparents-239.6000 
182 240.1751I don't want to say they kept me sheltered in, but I didn't live in a neighborhood. So,243.9228 
184 244.3888I lived in a five bedroom, four bathroom house. I'm talking about you go outside, you could hear248.8459 
186 249.0054a pin drop,249.6728 
188 249.8618the birds chirping. All older people, really no kids on my block.253.1445 
190 253.6388And as I got older and wanted to play with kids, and I went to school,257.3203 
192 257.6981I'm like, well dad,258.7308 
194 259.1202talking to my grandfather-260.0395 
196 260.3544I want to hang out where the ice cream trucks come, and262.8605 
198 263.1501everybody's outside playing. And I want to hang in the neighborhood.265.9701 
200 266.5620And he was just over protective. But then my best friend,268.7827 
202 269.2150who I met269.8489 
204 270.1375lived in a neighborhood Woodland,272.0770 
206 272.2533and I used to have to beg273.3027 
208 273.5042to go over there. But he made sure he dropped me off275.1918 
210 275.4258and picked me up.276.1269 
212 276.7230So I didn't live in a neighborhood essentially,278.6204 
214 278.9604but as I got older,280.0477 
216 280.2355I started to hang281.3847 
218 281.8895with my best friend in her neighborhood.283.3420 
219DCB_int_01283.5225So your neighborhood was really quiet.285.2352
220DCB_se2_ag2_f_01285.2562Very quiet.286.0916
221DCB_int_01286.2711Was it r- Do you feel r- Did you feel really safe?288.3448
222DCB_se2_ag2_f_01288.3448Very safe.289.3019
223 289.5580Uh!289.7385
224DCB_int_01289.6797Now Woodland has a reputation.291.3243
225DCB_se2_ag2_f_01291.4586Yes.292.0421
227 292.2856[<laugh>]293.4442 
228DCB_int_01292.3024[So how was it] going from294.4937
229 294.6532prim and proper neighborhood, [white picket fence almost]298.1240
230DCB_se2_ag2_f_01296.3029[<laugh>]298.0566
231DCB_int_01298.6191to299.2026
233 299.3999um, we in the hood.301.0245 
234DCB_se2_ag2_f_01301.3142[<laugh>]301.9270
235DCB_int_01301.5660[Like]-301.9270
236 302.3626did- wasn't-302.9125
238 303.2945Am I right? Was Woodland t- the [hood?]305.3389 
239DCB_se2_ag2_f_01304.5917[Mm, yes.]305.3683
240DCB_int_01305.4690Right, so how as that transition?307.2825
241DCB_se2_ag2_f_01307.4452So it was interesting. Um, I'm not gonna say I was scared, almost- because I knew my best friend kind of knew everybody in the neighborhood. And I had went to school315.1892
243 315.6888with a few of them, so I had knew a lot of people, but it was very different.318.4080 
245 318.9621But it also made me appreciate320.5657 
247 321.1324how I was brought up and where I came from and where I lived.323.6081 
249 324.0740But it was fun going over there and being- like the ice cream truck- I could go to the ice cream truck and get whatever I wanted to or328.5994 
251 329.1577the go go bands would come around their neighborhood and play. And that was fun for me.333.1488 
253 333.9338But my grandfather didn't see the fun in it, and so it wasn't like I could go over there all the time. It was one of those things where it's, you can go, but it won't be340.2002 
255 340.6903all the time.341.3998 
256DCB_int_01342.1134Um, so when you went to- What elementary school did you go to?342.5526
257DCB_se2_ag2_f_01346.2053So I went to /RD-SCHOOL-5/.348.9297
259 349.1102Everything was on Capitol Hill.350.3696 
261 350.9814So I did /RD-SCHOOL-3/.352.5011 
263 352.7194I did /RD-SCHOOL-2/. I did /RD-SCHOOL-3/.354.8225 
265 355.3220But then,355.9139 
267 356.2613I got put out of /RD-SCHOOL-3/ and that's when I had to go to my neighborhood school360.5012 
269 361.1267which was /RD-SCHOOL-2/, and that's how I met my best friend.363.4932 
270DCB_int_01364.0557So how did you- Okay, wait a minute. So how did you get put out of [the school?]366.7539
271DCB_se2_ag2_f_01366.2712[<laugh>]377.1049
272DCB_int_01366.9848[See],367.3248
274 367.7236[now I'm getting the real-]368.7185 
276 369.3146[Mm-hm.]369.6882 
278 370.0283[Cause before]370.8846 
280 371.1323[you were like, yes, you know, I grew up this]373.2806 
282 373.7424[prim and proper neighborhood. Lakeda I know you get down.]376.5297 
284 376.7690[Mm-hm.] You're like, no, no. I /couldn't/. [It- It was a] treat to go to Woodland Terrace.381.1170 
285DCB_se2_ag2_f_01378.2834[So]-379.2993
286 381.8726So,382.7206
287DCB_int_01382.8465Mm-hm.383.4384
288DCB_se2_ag2_f_01384.5036um, one of the teachers-386.4179
290 387.1945She was a little388.1978 
292 388.9523off the chain, and [so] we had got into it at one point. And she told me like,393.8429 
293DCB_int_01390.4258[Hm.]390.6693
294DCB_se2_ag2_f_01394.3162I couldn't get on the computer or something, and I was just like, well I don't care. I got five computers at home. I'm not pressed to get on your computer. And it ended up /to/401.0737
296 401.5229a back and forth thing.402.7991 
298 403.1643And I got suspended404.3103 
300 404.9347from school.405.4889 
302 405.7029Well they actually put me out406.7104 
304 407.3191/RD-SCHOOL-2/, so408.3980 
306 408.7926I went to /RD-SCHOOL-2/.409.6573 
307DCB_int_01409.9124So how- Wait.410.4035

314 417.1695excel in /RD-SCHOOL-2/,418.2987 
316 418.7982um, /RD-SCHOOL-3/ had reopened,420.5152

319DCB_int_01420.9171[/Oh/.]421.2404
320DCB_se2_ag2_f_01422.8524Even though I was in /RD-SCHOOL-2/, I wasn't a product of that school. So I was always the one doing all my homework, getting good grades as opposed to everybody else around me like,429.1943
322 429.6309not doing [anything.]430.6174 
323DCB_int_01430.0843[I don't know about] /RD-SCHOOL-1/- Tell me- I don't know about /RD-SCHOOL-2/ [I've not-]433.0553

405 545.3614But like most- When I was coming up, it was like Most Wanted, Shut 'Em Down.548.5031
406DCB_int_01549.0813Those are the ones you [remember?]550.3263
407DCB_se2_ag2_f_01549.7387[Those type of] things.550.6973
408DCB_int_01550.7786[Were] you ever like, wanting to be in the gang? Or wanted to- You know, I'm gonna [be in a gang?]554.6150
409DCB_se2_ag2_f_01554.1067[<laugh>]555.2118
410DCB_int_01555.2678No that's a- that's a legit question. [It's a-]557.2731
411DCB_se2_ag2_f_01556.7739[Not necessarily]557.9629
412 558.2194in the gang,559.1928
414 559.5658but um,561.1186 
416 561.8273<ts> I knew562.5874 
418 563.0817everything that was going on cause I had friends in all the different types of gangs.563.7643 
421 567.6315I necessarily wasn't in it, but569.3847  
423 570.2742my grandfather and the principal at my school thought that I was in a gang. It was a hard time for my grandpa. They're like, oh my gosh, I shouldn't have sent you here, because I became577.5565 
425 578.0554into all the stuff that they was doing, not necessarily like the fighting and stuff but the fashion and stuff behind it.582.5318 
426DCB_int_01582.7592So like [give me an example.]584.2699
427DCB_se2_ag2_f_01583.0902[So they thought it was gang] affiliated, but it really wasn't. So this was a time when586.6853
428 587.0350the girls was wearing rubber bands around their589.6171
430 590.0275um, jeans.591.5056 
432 592.1398And like, bandanas and stuff like that.594.5365 
434 595.0762And so the principal- Of course, cause it was597.3984 
436 597.7434me, and I guess she felt like I was different600.2556 
438 600.7312from that. I mean once that happened for me, she made it a point to contact my grandfather. Like, /RD-NAME-3/ starting to go down the wrong path, and608.2280 
440 608.7549/you might wanna ch-/. But I really wasn't in a gang, it was just- it was cute.611.7566 
442 612.3477Fashionable at the time, but I wasn't in no614.8806 
444 615.1000gang. No. <laugh>616.6853 
445DCB_int_01616.6667So did you- Okay. So then, how long were you there? For a year? Two [years?]620.1254
446DCB_se2_ag2_f_01619.9202[I was] there seventh and eighth grade.621.3377
447DCB_int_01621.5522Okay, so you were there for two years. [And then you] went to /RD-SCHOOL-3/.624.4432
448DCB_se2_ag2_f_01622.7273[Mm-hm.]623.3008
449 624.4747Yes.624.8897
450DCB_int_01624.8850Okay. How was that experience?626.7922
451DCB_se2_ag2_f_01626.8435Completely different627.8460
453 628.2843because being at /RD-SCHOOL-2/, I was one who wanted to631.9515 
455 632.0961do work, as opposed to everybody else not wanting to.634.5361 
456DCB_int_01634.6993Mm-hm.634.9837
457DCB_se2_ag2_f_01635.0350But then when I went to /RD-SCHOOL-3/, this coming from everybody that637.3560
459 637.5612wanted good for theirself, wanted different, wanted better.639.8180 
461 640.0465So it was- w-640.5454 
463 640.8112It was a academic641.6645 
465 641.8650competition, so it's- a competition so to speak.644.1534 
467 644.6383So I'm with everybody that wants to do work, that wants to do well as opposed to me doing work and walking around like, play fighting and650.4844 
469 650.8481throwing paper and just /threatening the teacher/ as opposed to /RD-SCHOOL-3/, they wasn't having that. You had to go through an interview. You had to go through a essay.656.1673 
471 656.6476You had to go through a lot of [stuff.]657.8553 
472DCB_int_01657.7014[Now] was /RD-SCHOOL-2/- That's like-659.2915
473 659.8464STEM660.4199

476DCB_se2_ag2_f_01663.8926[No], so665.1003
477 665.2775the STEM part of /RD-SCHOOL-3/ just came about667.3047

612 871.3467went to /RD-SCHOOL-3/, and so like Dawn Dance was coming up. And so Dawn Dance is a big thing at /RD-SCHOOL-3/, and she was like, I'm'a take you all to Dawn Dance so y'all can go visit /RD-SCHOOL-3/. I'm like, okay, I'm so excited. And by the time- this is like our eleventh grade year.881.8406 
614 882.1996And so when we went to Dawn Dance, we didn't know- but once we got to Ohio, they was all, y'all can stay on campus really get the feel887.5759 
616 888.0317of what it is. So we stayed on campus like that whole weekend. We got to go to all the parties, all the step shows892.9884 
618 893.3941and all that stuff.894.3365 
620 894.5820And so when I got there, it was a shock, because DC a city. Out there it's no busses, it's no trains. I'm talking about in the middle of nowhere- corn fields,902.5544 
622 903.0673KKK, like,904.4801 
624 905.3708it was-905.8744 
626 906.1028it was off the chain.907.0249 
628 907.5425But I loved it, and then since that /RD-SCHOOL-3/ is very small, and it was very family oriented. And it's also a religious based913.1695 
630 913.7011school, so I had got like a um-915.4077 
632 915.6968a small faith based scholarship.917.2262 
634 917.7380And so, I liked that religious aspect cause I was very920.4844 
636 920.7595um,921.2258 
638 922.2750into church, well church going924.3826 
640 924.8990um, at that point in my life. And so,926.9041 
642 927.1186that's where I wanted to be, somewhere that was church affiliated, somewhere that was family /orienated/930.6064 
644 930.9550and small. I didn't want to go to a big school. I didn't want to be a number.933.5009 
646 933.6875And so-934.2283 
648 934.6154I'm talking about all the classes in one building type small.937.0902 
649DCB_int_01938.0461Oh, like, little.939.1745

651DCB_int_01940.1211[Okay.]940.4755
653 940.7086[Yeah, okay. Cause I- You know, I'm thinking like, maybe it's /two, three/ thousand.] You talking about like-944.6290 
654DCB_se2_ag2_f_01944.6523Little. [Maybe no more than fifteen-]946.4801
655DCB_int_01945.3471[Like five hundred.]946.5221
656DCB_se2_ag2_f_01946.7926Maybe no more than a thousand fifteen hundred.948.9736
657DCB_int_01949.2115For the whole-949.8876
658DCB_se2_ag2_f_01950.3679But what was good for me is that Central State was right across the street. So if I wanted extra people to go see and meet and956.2832
659DCB_int_01950.3772[/four years-/]951.1139
660DCB_se2_ag2_f_01956.6889if I wanted to957.3671
662 957.4917get other campus feel,958.7266 
664 958.9644I could go right across the street to Central where a lot of people from DC961.7936 
666 962.1853um, ended up going. Then Wright State,963.8313 
668 964.6660up the street. If I wanted to get fancy, I could go to O State967.4682 
670 967.5979and come /out ??/.968.8521 
672 969.9572[I liked my school.]970.9551 
673DCB_int_01969.9572[So did you drive?]970.9597
674DCB_se2_ag2_f_01971.2115No, I didn't drive, but all my friends, my sorority sisters, boyfriend.974.9594
675DCB_int_01975.5329So what sorority are you in?976.4049
676DCB_se2_ag2_f_01976.6287Gamma Phi Delta Sorority.978.2187

679DCB_int_01982.4701[Mm-hm.]982.9084
680DCB_se2_ag2_f_01982.4935[And] so,983.2861
681 983.6265I know a lot of people that like Divine Nine but for me,986.0128
683 986.3485when it came time for me to choose what sorority I wanted to989.2255 
685 989.6498um, partake in,991.3507 
687 991.6864Gamma Phi Delta was who was running the yard.993.9852 
689 995.2302They were the ones really doing stuff for the youth. So I said, it's n- not about the name, it's about what they're really doing on campus and in the community.1002.2887 
691 1002.7958And so,1003.4299 
693 1003.6910when I became a part of Gamma Phi Delta,1005.4956 
695 1006.3069our line was twelve. That was the biggest /RD-SCHOOL-3/ had seen1009.9615 
697 1010.4977in awhile because1011.7940 
699 1012.1204people wasn't really1012.9597 
701 1013.4120doing other things, and so once I became, it was like, oh everybody wanted to be in Gamma. Then I became president,1017.7054 
703 1017.9759at the sorority,1018.8711 
705 1019.5659and things like that. So I kind of took it-1021.3740

767DCB_se2_ag2_f_011099.9475[What people] fail to realize is that-1102.0318
768 1102.2650And that's what we s- w-1103.2815
770 1103.6592We was aksed to be a part of the Divine Nine.1105.6817 
772 1106.4091We deny it cause we twenty years younger than Iotas.1109.5473

784 1129.8169of D Nine organizations.1131.6308
785DCB_int_011132.3356[Mm.]1133.5823

814DCB_se2_ag2_f_011162.6107[Membership] intake process,1164.4293
815 1165.0121and so I got the experience just as if anyone else did, and we got respect1169.5853
817 1170.3733from other Greek organizations. That's what /most sorority of girls/, cause I feel like, it was a jealousy thing, like, who are they, think they come in and take over, though we did take over. Like,1177.1753 
819 1177.7442pro show- best pro sho any1179.6420 
821 1179.9672body have seen on the campus. And they came to us like,1182.2847 
825 1187.7018where the campus got to vote like, which sorority do you like the most? Who's doing the most? I'm talking about /we adopted floors/.1192.3170   
827 1192.7366We did stuff in the you- with the youth cause we work with underprivileged youth. Like, although we business professional, our goal is like, to work with1198.5268 
829 1198.8905underprivileged youth.1199.9490 
831 1200.4386And so we did other stuff than just parties, as opposed to what I think uh, Divine Nine's like, uh, social.1206.1029 
833 1206.3920Even though they do community stuff, most of it is social.1208.4763 
835 1208.8353And we did social,1209.9579 
837 1210.1911[business, and community.]1211.6785 
838DCB_int_011210.4009[But that was the secondary] was the [social?]1212.4712

841DCB_se2_ag2_f_011216.1584On campus it would have had to be1219.0075
843 1219.4924the Sigmas,1221.1244 
845 1223.0957and it's this other um, Greek organization that's not Divine Nine, but New Zeta Epsilon. They're Christian based.1228.9651 
846DCB_int_011229.7998But I mean like, I'm talking about youth. Like, what youth group did y'all work [with /th-/?]1233.2690
847DCB_se2_ag2_f_011232.7887[Oh it-] It wasn't necessarily youth group. We would just go out in the community and get youth in the community.1236.8722
848DCB_int_011237.0914Oh so y'all would do m- So [it wasn't] like you were part of the [Boys and Girls Club?]1240.0883
849DCB_se2_ag2_f_011238.0986[Yeah.]1238.4343
851 1239.0218[Right, so we would host-] So we- We might host, let's say- For Halloween every year we would do like, this um-1243.9587 
852 1244.6348this f- uh, Halloween feast. And we'll go in the community like Walmart, pass out papers like the /Gammas/ are having1249.6976
854 1250.1312The Autumn Festivities Festival, come here. And then all the youth would start to build up that way,1254.9375

918 1339.1986He got to kiss on me. He got to hug on me. He got to talk to me about everything that goes on in his life.1343.6412

1156DCB_int_011664.8679[How was that?]1665.5580
1157DCB_se2_ag2_f_011667.4605And it was t-1668.1693
1159 1668.7230It was the weirdest most funnest thing ever.1670.7560 
1160DCB_int_011671.3715But how was that? Because- And I'm gonna- And the [reason- I'm asking] you this for a reason, but I want to know specifically how was it1676.8166
1161DCB_se2_ag2_f_011673.4558[<laugh>]1673.8335
1162DCB_int_011677.1197because you got to be a tourist, but then this guy's taking you into his house in- with- /mean/- his family, his neighborhood.1683.2596
1164 1683.5067How did that feel- And what do you feel- Like what did you get from that experience?1686.9573 
1165DCB_se2_ag2_f_011687.7395I felt like- Once going into1690.0057
1167 1690.3227his um,1691.2973 
1169 1691.7589neighborhood, it felt like home essentially because1694.8213 
1171 1695.1617even in like, here, DC, people always take you to the monument, they take you to the capitol, but you don't get to see like,1699.5343 
1173 1700.0099the neighborhood stuff.1700.9658 
1175 1701.2410But in Antigua, it's /all, oh/ this stuff is nice, and you just think the whole place is just beautiful. But then once he took us there, I'm just like, Oh! So it is this type of parts1708.7331 
1177 1709.1714in Antigua.1710.0294 
1179 1710.3138But it was fun. The fact that he like opened his home1712.8957 
1181 1713.3010to us, it was, aw, that's nice.1715.1911 
1183 1715.7903Food was great.1716.6142 
1185 1717.3097My boyfriend didn't want to share cause they kind of made us like one whole bowl,1720.4730 
1187 1720.6492and he kind of like, took over.1721.9048 
1189 1722.2661But it was good. It was like rice and fish and like, you know, they make their juice theirself.1726.4598 
1191 1726.6800Like, from the fruit.1727.5480 
1192DCB_int_011728.8911So your stuff was fresh.1730.0498
1193DCB_se2_ag2_f_011730.0542Yes, and it was delicious!1731.6227
1194DCB_int_011731.6183Like from the tree.1732.4465
1195DCB_se2_ag2_f_011732.6051[Yes. Right there. Right- They did it right there. Yep.]1735.7943
1196DCB_int_011732.7197[Right. So they picked it right /where you were s-/]1735.3411
1197 1736.8649So-1737.2570
1198DCB_se2_ag2_f_011737.2658But we shouldn't-1737.8209
1200 1738.1161It was dangerous, I will admit1740.1736 
1202 1740.5965in a sense that you did- I didn't- We didn't know who he was. We just [kind of like, went to his neighborhood.]1745.2043 
1203DCB_int_011743.3143[/I didn't even want say it like that/. I wouldn't want to judge you.]1745.1911
1204DCB_se2_ag2_f_011745.5920But it didn't happen.1746.9043
1206 1747.3845Thank God. But we had a great time. And I felt like that was our best experience. Like, we- If you talk about- Like, that was our best experience [from the trip.]1754.2481 
1207DCB_int_011753.7546[I'm'a do a] side note.1754.7768
1208 1755.0015So when Rhonice and Veronica1756.6889
1210 1756.9312went in the neighborhood to find her phone,1759.1032 
1211DCB_se2_ag2_f_011760.0322[<laugh>]1760.4772
1212DCB_int_011760.0762[that was] problematic [for me.]1761.6315
1213DCB_se2_ag2_f_011761.2173[The- the-] They're kids.]1762.8915
1214 1763.8035And so even though I should know better, I-1765.0327
1216 1765.2700I just don't want1765.8472 
1218 1765.9837to put them out there like that, but1767.6932 
1220 1767.8870for me, yeah. [/But I think-/]1769.0810 
1221DCB_int_011768.6668[No, no. But did you talk to them?]1770.4159
1222 1770.6224Because see, that's the pot calling the kettle. But see I'm not gonna [put you- I'm not] gonna put you on blast on [that.]1775.1162
1223DCB_se2_ag2_f_011773.5081[<laugh>]1773.9487
1225 1774.9444[But] they went to somebody who stole something from them. That's kind of different than us being in our taxi cab, and like,1781.0986 
1226 1781.5436oh y'all want to go see da da da da da?1782.9534
1227DCB_int_011784.4772But did you1784.8957
1229 1785.1601talk to them and tell them that that's not a good [idea? In your loving, sisterly way?]1789.3015 
1230DCB_se2_ag2_f_011786.7814[Yeah we did. Mm- Yeah. /I d-/ Uh-huh.] All the time. [Yeah.]1790.1556
1231DCB_int_011789.9044[Because] that's not-1790.5917
1232 1790.7591That's not a good idea.1791.6976
1233DCB_se2_ag2_f_011791.6491Right, I [talked to- Cause I told 'em that-]1793.1426
1234DCB_int_011792.0060When they [came over /?/, we were like], what?1793.5304
1235DCB_se2_ag2_f_011793.6757I told 'em not to go. I told 'em to go to the police station.1796.2260
1236DCB_int_011796.3450Yes, but she's like, well I got my phone back.1798.5347

1241DCB_se2_ag2_f_011801.8251Yep.1802.1291

1244DCB_se2_ag2_f_011805.1471Yes.1805.7462
1246 1806.9704Yes. <ts>1808.0146 
1248 1808.8384[Yes.]1809.3804 
1249DCB_int_011809.1513[I thought] she was the more [sensical one.]1811.1779
1250DCB_se2_ag2_f_011810.4730[N- N-] No. Rhonice is off the chain.1812.7948
1251 1813.2083Off the chain.1814.4023
1253 1814.7944Off the chain.1815.4464 
1254DCB_int_011815.5566So how do you think she gonna do in college?1817.2396
1256 1819.0761Is it gonna humble her or is it gonna like, just really take her to another level of off the chainness?1823.1603 
1257DCB_se2_ag2_f_011824.0326I really don't know cause I feel like she gonna get more freedom.1826.1379
1258DCB_int_011826.5653Mm-hm.1826.9089
1260 1827.1248But sometimes freedom is- [is-]1828.6360 
1261DCB_se2_ag2_f_011828.5170[No.] So I feel like she's gonna do more.1830.8653
1262 1831.5652She do a lot now, under scope, and had a lot of things that even like, somethings that we know that her mom don't know.1836.9931
1264 1838.1115And so I feel like now when she get away,1840.0809 
1266 1841.1867she might-1841.8035 
1267DCB_int_011841.8520Well sometimes- That's what I'm saying. Sometimes when you get freedom though,1844.4992
1269 1844.8076[it- it contro- /Probably/ cause you just like], you know what? Alright, now it's no fun. The fun is being able to hide it,1850.4243 
1270DCB_se2_ag2_f_011844.8473[/You don't want/- It c- /calms/ you down?]1846.8078

1314 1908.2316/That's [what-]/1908.6372 
1315DCB_int_011908.4600[But I] asked you the question about- I know we got off on /RD-NAME-2/ then, but1911.5982
1316 1911.9153that was a little crazy. [I thought] that was just1913.7991
1317DCB_se2_ag2_f_011912.9084[Oh.]1913.1929
1319 1913.7478[<laugh> So crazy.]1914.7771 
1320DCB_int_011914.1721[ridiculous.]1915.1688
1321DCB_se2_ag2_f_011914.9916Mm-hm.1915.6304
1322DCB_int_011915.6910Um, but I asked you about that because I think about-1918.2929
1324 1920.6745like you said, people come to DC,1922.2133 
1326 1922.4231and you show 'em the monuments. And there- There is no life outside of like that [six block radius.]1927.4819 
1327DCB_se2_ag2_f_011926.1861[Right. Yes.]1927.8729
1328DCB_int_011927.9848And so what do you feel- How do you feel1930.2463
1330 1930.9877as a local, do you take advantage of the touristy stuff, and then do you try to give your touristy1935.9621 
1332 1936.1031people- Do you feel like you try to give them a local experience, and what would the local experience be?1940.6842 
1334 1940.9920Or the native [experience?]1942.3349 
1335DCB_se2_ag2_f_011942.0551[So it's] crazy because (laughing)1944.0648
1336 1944.7538I've never been1945.6957
1338 1945.8729into the touristy stuff. Like, I probably never been- I've probably been outside the White House, but that was-1950.4255 
1340 1950.5484in my most recent years. Um, don't go to the monument. Don't hang out at all the museums and stuff like that. No.1956.0742 
1342 1956.5859Probably just on field trips.1957.9522 
1344 1958.4744But1959.2904 
1346 1959.5376um,1960.2323 
1348 1960.4328when I wen- a- went away to school,1962.1208 
1350 1962.3073and like,1962.7072 
1352 1962.8704all of my friends was from like DC. My boyfriend was from1966.1487 
1354 1966.3163Ohio.1966.9513 
1356 1967.0236Some of my friends from DC, but all my sorority sisters from different places.1969.5232 
1358 1969.8869So we would alternate like where we would go.1971.7427 
1360 1972.0971So when I would bring them here,1973.4773 
1362 1974.1348they got to know1975.0476 
1364 1975.1735DC outside of the /monuminutes/,1976.5304 
1366 1976.8474and they fell in love with it. So it became, oh, I'm going to DC spring break, or I'm going to DC1981.0942 
1368 1981.3926for Christmas. I'm going to DC for Thanksgiving.1983.2438 
1370 1983.5236And so, If they came here,1985.2488 
1372 1985.7466th-1985.8399 
1374 1986.9543Towards my freshman year it was1988.3858 
1376 1988.6656going to the go go and stuff like that.1990.5634 
1378 1991.0204So I took a few of them to the go go. I had to make sure they all had Mumbo sauce.1995.0946 
1380 1995.5469And then DC and Chicago had this thing. Like what's better Mumbo sauce or Mild sauce? I would like take my Mumbo sauce up to Ohio2001.4163 
1382 2001.9572and stuff like that. But coming here was go go,2004.0509 
1384 2004.2840Mumbo sauce.2005.3740 
1386 2005.7004I let them get the experience of the train.2007.7754 
1388 2009.1649/And those things/.2010.0042

1714 2490.6485Mimi, that's what they called me. Oh Mimi got to come sit with us, and so I had all the fluffy [dresses, and I had] really long pony tails, so this one lady- She was the church lady, she did my hair.2499.7147 
1715DCB_se2_ag2_f_012495.2115[Mm-hm.]2495.7338
1716DCB_int_012500.3069Like, and so I was really really spoiled, and my brother didn't have all this cause my mom was just starting out [with him.]2505.2858
1717DCB_se2_ag2_f_012504.6516[Uh-huh.]2505.2438
1718DCB_int_012505.5842And she had just moved2506.7686
1720 2506.9737by herself, so I underst- It was very [hard for me] to get older2510.5164 
1721DCB_se2_ag2_f_012509.0009[Mm-mm.]2509.6351
1722DCB_int_012510.7635and realize, look, everything [is not gonna be your way.]2513.2255

1724DCB_int_012514.4321And we weren't rich by any means, but my mom made a lot of sacrifices so I could [go to Africa and-]2520.0555
1725DCB_se2_ag2_f_012518.8618[And it made people hate me.] Even- [/People/.] Cause I was- I don't feel like I was like-2523.3790
1726DCB_int_012520.5626[Mm-hm.]2521.0149
1727DCB_se2_ag2_f_012523.6961I'm always been like the compassionate type person, very people person,2526.8611
1729 2527.1968but because of how my grandfather treated me- I'm not gonna say people envied it, but they really just didn't like me.2531.4540 
1731 2531.9063So like, if school lunch was like,2534.2496 
1733 2534.3545nasty or if my grandpa didn't want me to eat the school lunch, he would come like,2537.4540 
1735 2537.9156bring me like,2538.3049 
1737 2538.5182Chinese [food. <laugh>]2542.0350 
1738DCB_int_012539.3818[That's what my mom would do! ]2540.6827
1739 2542.2576So then I had to start eating in the office. [Like I couldn't even eat in the cafeteria.]2545.8388
1740DCB_se2_ag2_f_012543.9689[Yeah. Me too. Th- Me too.] That's how it was for [me too. <laugh>]2547.5687
1741DCB_int_012546.7853[<laugh>]2547.3122
1742DCB_se2_ag2_f_012547.8613And so- And like, I would be the one that could leave out, go get my food from the truck. Like, it was- it-2552.3563
1744 2552.5755if people really hated it- And it's just so funny cause one guy2555.3767 
1746 2555.7311outside of school had came up to me and was like,2557.9507 
1748 2558.4216You know a girl mentioned to me that you get your food sent to- And I'm just like, why is a dead beat- And he went to a whole different school.2562.0895 
1751 2565.2143And another girl in my school was talking to me about him,2567.3161  
1753 2567.7451and we wasn't even friends necessarily, and I'm just like, that's weird. Uh- it's not my fault. Like,2571.9312 
1755 2572.6447heh-2572.9431

1767 2595.4743first of all, how did you get introduced to go go?2597.6099
1768DCB_se2_ag2_f_012599.4890So you know go go, it stands from different age groups, so like I said, being that- my- my mom2604.2580
1770 2604.5844and her friends, cause they were all younger of course-2607.3868 
1772 2607.6841they had their genre2609.0177 
1774 2609.4280of go go, like the bands they listened to. Like Backyard, Red Essence, EU,2613.7447 
1776 2614.2157Sugar Bears2614.9990 
1778 2615.3161and stuff like that.2616.1974 
1780 2616.4912So I was introduced2617.2139 
1782 2617.4051to it at that point,2618.8972 
1784 2619.1770and then once I started going to it became like fast paced and2622.4679 
1786 2622.8689not as slow as theirs was. And so,2625.0091 
1788 2625.3775just being in school- So like in school, people started go go bands. Like, it was a go go band in /RD-SCHOOL-3/, and then it became to like, oh, come see us2632.1889 
1790 2632.7193at this place. Come see us at that place.2634.3746 
1792 2634.5844Okay.2635.0740 
1794 2635.1906And then it became to me being interested in all the other bands, so I was like,2638.2623 
1796 2638.8405/at the/ [go go.]2639.3861 
1797DCB_int_012639.0783[How do you start] a go go band? Like just any kind of like-2641.4844

1810 2650.3556Why?2650.6400 
1811DCB_se2_ag2_f_012651.9176Cause they older, but they got that2654.0113
1813 2654.4170young feel. They [just-]2655.9231

1819DCB_se2_ag2_f_012662.4395It was weird because I don't like being hot.2664.7989
1821 2665.1906I really hate being hot, and I didn't think about no place could be so packed.2668.6540

1829 2677.6522But for me it was just being packed- But it was so fun. Like, I'm dancing but then on- once you leave, you're like drenched. Like,2683.4657 
1831 2684.0672but it was amazing. I- What I did- What I di- di- didn't like about the go gos back then was like, of course the neighborhood stuff. So once the go go bands started calling all the neighborhoods,2690.6781 
1833 2691.0231they like rowdy. Like, they jumping up jumping up jumping up. Like,2694.0622

2002 2928.9575And so um,2930.0579 
2004 2930.8086<ts>2931.0418 
2006 2931.7925in December of two thousand and thirteen,2934.6637 
2008 2936.1232let me rewind.2937.1397

2012 2938.2810we all supposed to go on a cruise for Drea's twenty fifth birthday.2941.0461 
2014 2941.5217And Brittany had paid her money. We had all paid our money.2943.7319 
2016 2943.9685And then randomly, Brittany was like,2945.9456 
2018 2946.6077I'm not gonna be able to go.2947.7641 
2020 2948.1745She was like, um,2949.3499 
2022 2949.4446I got something to do2950.4488 
2024 2951.8570in December.2952.6917 
2026 2952.8595/???/ of what she had to do.2954.3657 
2028 2954.7676Uh, she was just like, I know I'm'a have something to do.2957.2555 
2030 2957.7218So I have to pull out.2958.7197 
2032 2958.9575So- But we never paid no attention to it. We were just like,2961.1304 
2034 2961.9126Okay.2962.3369 
2036 2963.4001So, December seventh, when we got the phone call- When we got the phone call, to came to us as if2969.0737 
2038 2969.2089her sister had passed away.2971.1999 
2040 2972.4822And so2973.3169 
2042 2973.7692um,2974.3416 
2044 2974.6400I called the Fab,2975.8430 
2046 2976.0622and I'm like, y'all we need to go check on Brittany.2977.7548 
2048 2977.9646I heard that her sister passed away, and we just need to go and be there for her.2981.2182 
2050 2982.7896We get to Brittany house, and um,2985.6992 
2052 2986.0571her brother like,2986.7939 
2054 2987.0037Y'all here to see Brittany?2987.9456 
2056 2988.0855We like, yeah.2988.8362 
2058 2989.3771No! On our way to- Somebody had called us back, and was like, well you know it was both of 'em.2992.7379 
2060 2993.6285So at this point, like, our minds just all over the place. So then when we get to her house, her brother like, well did you want to see Brittany? Y'all here to see Brittany?2999.3628 
2062 2999.7358So at this time, we feel relief- Still sad that her sister passed, but we feel relief cause he like, y'all want to see Brittany? Okay, go upstairs. So we like,3004.9757 
2064 3005.1762<sigh> Thank God. Dodged that bullet.3006.9715 
2066 3007.4191We get upstairs,3008.5895 
2068 3009.5687and her grandmother come to the door,3011.1296 
2070 3011.4187and she was like, hey y'all. We like, hey, Miss /RD-NAME-1/.3013.7968 
2072 3014.8273And she's like, Brittany not here. So we like, okay, maybe she at the hospital3018.3612 
2074 3018.9202for /RD-NAME-2/.3019.6103 
2076 3020.0206And so she looked3020.9672 
2078 3021.2376different.3021.9744 
2080 3022.6120And so,3023.6519 
2082 3023.9643we c- Jelly was just like, Miss /RD-NAME-1/ are you sure? Cause we heard some things.3028.1842 
2084 3028.7892And so she called us into her living room,3030.8147 
2086 3030.8745and she told us that it was actually Brittany that had passed instead of the sister.3034.6307 
2088 3036.3933I immediately3037.4564 
2090 3037.8574left the house.3039.5267 
2092 3040.3323Um,3040.9291 
2094 3041.1902call my grandma and my mom. They had got there3043.4704 
2096 3043.6336in probably less than ten minutes.3045.1257 
2098 3045.6153And so we were all very3047.1156 
2100 3047.5446over r- hysterical. And my grandmother didn't know what to do. She said, but I know somebody that can. She took us to church.3053.2275 
2101DCB_int_013053.5633Hm.3053.8430
2102DCB_se2_ag2_f_013054.2627I'm talking about like, we in pajamas. Like,3056.3983
2104 3056.5475but she didn't know what else to do with us, so they prayed over us in church. And it's funny, that's how I Ms. /RD-NAME-1/3060.4632 
2106 3061.0694Weird.3061.4890 
2108 3062.3517And it wasn't i-3062.7946 
2110 3063.2936/When I realized I hadn't knew her/ til I came here, she's like,3065.1902 
2112 3065.3721You were the group that came to the church and we prayed over.3067.8761 
2114 3069.1071/Like that/.3069.8671 
2116 3070.9897And so um,3072.3886 
2118 3073.0461<ts> it really took a toll on us because /RD-NAME-2/ was a part of our everyday routine. Group chat, hanging out,3078.1088 
2120 3078.5285and so it was hard.3079.7408 
2122 3080.3563And so,3081.0968 
2124 3081.2314once the cruise- So we said, maybe /RD-NAME-2/ kind of knew.3083.9316 
2125DCB_int_013084.4958Something was gonna happen (whispered).3085.5123
2126DCB_se2_ag2_f_013085.5077Something was gonna happen because the week before she passed,3088.4208
2127 3088.7379she made individual dates with all of us.3090.7943
2129 3091.5170And those dates was like, how much she loved us, how much she cared about us. Like,3095.3441 
2131 3095.7218just that one on one that she wanted with each3097.8574 
2133 3098.4123member3098.9471 
2135 3099.0468of the Fab.3099.8998 
2137 3100.7985And it was the weirdest thing ever. And then that weekend3103.2979 
2139 3103.4424before, we had like a big pow wow sleepover. Like, getting our feelings out with stuff we wanted to do, or stuff like that.3108.6264 
2141 3109.1020And she was kind of like- I'm not gonna say she was reserved, but she was like,3111.6806 
2143 3112.0012had like a calm3113.4234 
2145 3114.4026space, and we was like,3115.6382 
2147 3116.1558wow. And then our last conversation with /RD-NAME-2/ was about cops, like,3119.6425 
2149 3120.6777sh- how she liked people in uniform, but it had to be a PG cop.3123.8578 
2151 3124.4022And so when she died, I'm just like- She was in PG, cops, all these things. I'm like, Brittany kind of-3129.9324 
2152DCB_int_013126.1974[/It was all these things/.]3127.5730
2153DCB_se2_ag2_f_013130.3835I feel like she knew3131.5120
2155 3132.4445what was going on. But even still, it plays3135.4521 
2157 3135.7727a big part in our lives. And I think I was- I was in a good space until Thursday,3139.7781 
2159 3140.3796until the trial when I was asked to speak.3142.0909 
2161 3142.4302I feel like I was really at a good space in my life,3144.9108 
2163 3145.5450and I feel like,3146.0859 
2165 3146.2398reopening that, has put me at a set back in a sense that, I didn't want to see how she died.3151.6569 
2167 3152.2817And so the fact that video has to keep like,3153.9941 
2169 3154.3132replaying,3155.0550 
2171 3155.5866and I really had to see a psychiatrist on Wednesday.3157.9273 
2172DCB_int_013159.4101And it doesn't help that you have it on your phone.3161.1110
2173DCB_se2_ag2_f_013161.7498I don't. It's on the news.3163.8807
2175 3164.2118It's not in my phone. I [didn't save it to my] phone. It's like, on a website3167.6395 
2176DCB_int_013165.3267[Oh okay.]3166.0262
2177 3167.8027Oh, [okay.]3168.6234
2178DCB_se2_ag2_f_013168.1664[of the news.] Yeah I don't look at it. [Like even] if I show people like, I won't look at it.3171.8723
2179DCB_int_013169.8439[Okay.]3170.3289
2180DCB_se2_ag2_f_013172.0308But-3172.5437
2181DCB_int_013173.2152Cause it was horrific. [/inaudible/]3175.2389
2182DCB_se2_ag2_f_013174.1524[It was horrific.]3175.2389
2183DCB_int_013175.4674But you know what, /RD-NAME-3/, I think- I commend you because, you know3179.0380
2185 3179.6209mental health is so important. And it's a community- [Especially black] people3183.1122 
2186DCB_se2_ag2_f_013181.7845[Mm-hm.]3182.4139
2187 3183.1822[Mm-hm.]3183.7790
2188DCB_int_013183.4060[We don't]-3184.0075
2189 3184.5810We don't take enough care in that. It's very stigmatized, [and I commend] you. Like, if you realize you have an issue-3190.5018
2190DCB_se2_ag2_f_013187.8964[Mm-hm.]3188.5665
2191DCB_int_013191.0100like look, I just need to get some things off my chest. [And that- that] doesn't mean you crazy, or,3194.9024
2192DCB_se2_ag2_f_013192.8752[Mm-hm.]3193.4161
2193 3195.1076[Mm-hm.]3195.6251
2194DCB_int_013195.1309[you gonna] go out and [shoot up fifteen peo-] You just3197.4903
2195DCB_se2_ag2_f_013196.3386[Mm-hm.]3197.0520
2196 3197.6302[Yeah, I knew it wasn't crazy.] It's just, it's a lot to deal with, and so like I tell people [all the time-]3201.9935
2197DCB_int_013197.6349[/having/ some issues.]3199.1130
2199 3201.4526[And she was young. You guys are young.]3203.3131 
2200DCB_se2_ag2_f_013202.3526[She was young!] Yeah. And so, losing my grandfather-3205.1270
2201 3205.4441It was hard. Of course it was hard, but I also felt like he got to live his life.3209.1266
2202DCB_int_013209.2572[Mm-hm.]3209.7328
2203DCB_se2_ag2_f_013209.5463[So when I] think about my best friend, it's just like-3211.6119
2204 3211.9558She was working on her Masters. She would have been3213.6065
2206 3213.7697finished her Masters.3214.8189 
2208 3215.2665She would- She had just got the3216.7073 
2210 3216.9125position she wanted in HR for the Secret Service.3219.6858 
2212 3220.7769No kids. She was my right hand in my mentoring programs. So it was just like-3225.3594 
2214 3225.8070All the stuff was just like, damn. Did she have to go out like that? Like did it have to be so- Did she have to lose half of her face? Did she really have to3232.2453 
2216 3232.6557go out like that? Just getting up because her sisters call her like, can you come and get us?3236.5247 
2218 3236.8558And so that plays another part of me wanting to drive because /RD-NAME-2/ had just started driving. That accident was probably like /RD-NAME-2/ probably like, tenth time ever driving.3243.1682 
2219DCB_int_013244.6836But it wasn't her fault.3245.6722
2220DCB_se2_ag2_f_013245.6069I know it wasn't her fault, but that kind of like,3247.7425
2221DCB_int_013249.2708[Gives you pause. Yeah.]3250.5810
2222DCB_se2_ag2_f_013249.2754[Shook me u- Yeah], like-3251.0986
2223 3251.4017So I was at that point where /RD-NAME-2/ was like, oh /RD-NAME-3/, I did it, you know what I'm saying? Now I'm not the last one not to have my license. You should be next. You should go.3257.3551
2225 3257.6395I'm like, oh, I'm going. I'm going. I'm going. And then when that happened, I'm like,3260.5294 
2226DCB_int_013261.2661I'm good.3261.7417
2227DCB_se2_ag2_f_013261.7044I'm good.3262.2360
2228 3262.5764So like even now,3263.6722
2230 3263.9939getting the car, it's not- it's not good for me. I'm talking about like, if a3266.7159 
2232 3267.1309bus coming right here, I'm like holding on to the rail.3269.9892 
2234 3270.2644I'm like,3270.8442 
2236 3271.0237real shook up.3271.8637 
2238 3272.5014[It's real bad.]3273.2241 
2239DCB_int_013272.5946[So you'd rather] do public [transportation?]3274.9867
2240DCB_se2_ag2_f_013274.1287[I'd rather]3275.0240
2241 3275.4297do public transportation. But it's weird3277.1317
2243 3277.8626because our friend Jelly is in a Car Club.3280.2220 
2245 3281.1219<ts> And so I'm around them.3282.6419 
2247 3282.7067They speed. They do all types of stuff they want to do.3285.0190 
2249 3285.3500And I be okay with it.3286.3616 
2251 3286.4363It- it-3286.8888 
2253 3287.3038it's weird. It's just [/but/]3288.7027 
2254DCB_int_013288.3063[No, because] there's certain associations. Right? That's3290.3102
2255DCB_se2_ag2_f_013290.4641[<laugh>] Yeah. [<laugh> /I- I-/ different.] Mm-hm.3295.8171
2256DCB_int_013290.4827[I- I think th- th- that's recreational. ]3292.3759
2258 3292.9168[Right? So in your mind, that's something completely different.]3295.0011 
2259 3295.9465But in a car-3297.3290
2261 3297.4391But you don't mind flying?3298.6044 
2262DCB_se2_ag2_f_013298.8888Right.3299.2199
2264 3300.6047It's the weirdest thing ever.3301.7751 
2265DCB_int_013301.8171Mm-hm. But because it's- j- th- [th-] And riding the bus is very different cause that's not3306.2970
2266DCB_se2_ag2_f_013303.5505[<laugh>]3304.1894
2267DCB_int_013306.6980like,3307.0291
2269 3307.6667the kind of car that [she was- She was in a small personal car.]3311.1406 
2270DCB_se2_ag2_f_013308.7625[Yes m- Right. Mm-hm. Personal-] Mm-hm.3311.7141
2271DCB_int_013311.7374And so it's very different. So it's not- It's not weird3313.7411
2273 3313.8212because the car club is very recreational. That's- They- It's an [activity.]3317.3411 
2274DCB_se2_ag2_f_013316.9214[/tivity/.] Yeah that [/probably is. Bus/-]3318.5861

2279 3322.1008[Yeah /that] probably [is/. Yep.]3324.3110 
2280DCB_int_013323.1826[And all the sadness] that comes with that. And [so, it's] okay. And you may not want to do that for quite some time.3329.2945
