53 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 75.3977 | [<laugh>] | 77.1860 |
54 | DCB_int_01 | 75.5152 | [Stepping up and stepping out, okay.] | 76.8082 |
55 | | 77.1986 | Um, where was your father born? | 78.6636 |
56 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 80.3753 | DC. | 80.8214 |
57 | DCB_int_01 | 80.9798 | DC? | 81.4920 |
59 | | 81.8782 | /Where/ about your mom? | 82.6464 |
60 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 82.9276 | DC. | 83.3978 |
61 | DCB_int_01 | 84.5438 | What does your father do? | 85.2491 |
62 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 86.5116 | I have no idea. | 87.7248 |
63 | DCB_int_01 | 87.7794 | [Mkay.] | 88.1236 |
64 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 88.0438 | So, [uh], | 88.7575 |
65 | DCB_int_01 | 88.4888 | [That's] fine. | 89.1437 |
66 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 89.2570 | But 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 |
67 | DCB_int_01 | 92.4883 | [Oh.] | 93.0928 |
68 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 94.2682 | Nothing at all about him. | 95.6661 |
70 | | 96.5718 | /Not nothing/. | 97.9026 |
71 | DCB_int_01 | 97.9445 | What about your | 98.7043 |
73 | | 98.9604 | mom? | 99.2123 |
74 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 99.5313 | My mom, um, she's a patient | 101.6722 |
76 | | 101.8643 | and registration clerk at /RD-WORK-2/. | 103.7659 |
78 | | 104.9791 | But I was raised | 106.3350 |
80 | | 106.5323 | by my grandparents. | 108.0509 |
82 | | 108.6135 | My mom in the household, | 109.9568 |
84 | | 110.2674 | but she was young when she had me. She had me at fourteen. So my grandparents raised me. | 113.6960 |
86 | | 114.3425 | So my grandfather would have been my father figure. | 116.6178 |
88 | | 117.4657 | I don't know if you want to use him. | 118.6905 |
89 | DCB_int_01 | 120.3192 | Well, | 120.5165 |
91 | | 121.1252 | then let's talk about your grandparents. | 122.3053 |
92 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 122.5525 | Mkay. | 122.8506 |
93 | DCB_int_01 | 123.3795 | So, | 123.7825 |
95 | | 125.1122 | that's all I'm gonna be writing. | 126.0945 |
97 | | 126.3464 | That's it. | 126.6444 |
98 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 126.7074 | [<laugh>] | 128.2774 |
99 | DCB_int_01 | 127.4546 | [Um,] | 128.2270 |
100 | | 128.6720 | so tell me a little bit about | 130.1528 |
102 | | 132.6799 | your house, | 133.4187 |
104 | | 133.5153 | like your family, | 134.4798 |
106 | | 134.7065 | especially because you said your grandparents raised you, so tell me how was that dynamic. | 138.0773 |
107 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 138.4719 | Okay. | 139.1478 |
109 | | 139.2433 | So my mom had me at fourteen, | 141.3171 |
111 | | 141.7411 | and so for insurance purposes and legal purposes, my grandparents had to adopt me | 146.4710 |
113 | | 146.9202 | because if they didn't, I wouldn't have been able to get insurance and stuff like that. | 149.5984 |
115 | | 150.0424 | And so although my mom was in the household, it was more like we was raised a- | 153.8582 |
117 | | 154.4711 | as sisters | 155.7840 |
119 | | 156.2122 | opposed to mother and daughter. | 157.5933 |
121 | | 157.9501 | And then eventually once she got older to move out on her own, | 160.3639 |
123 | | 160.7375 | I just naturally stayed with | 162.2477 |
125 | | 162.5793 | my grandparents. | 163.7380 |
126 | DCB_int_01 | 164.3341 | Mm, so when y- when did your mom leave? How old was your mom? | 166.5086 |
127 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 167.2505 | When my mom left, she was maybe in her early twenties, like twenty [two.] | 172.5483 |
128 | DCB_int_01 | 171.9186 | [So you were like-] | 172.5315 |
129 | | 172.8915 | elementary [school?] | 173.9367 |
130 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 173.6261 | [Mm-hm.] | 174.5454 |
131 | DCB_int_01 | 174.8812 | [But you] had already really gotten close to your- | 177.3306 |
132 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 174.9022 | [Yeah.] | 175.1877 |
134 | | 177.2992 | [Grandparents.] | 178.2090 |
135 | DCB_int_01 | 177.7064 | [Did you make] that decision? Or did your mom make that- Or did they make that decision? For you to stay? | 181.5968 |
136 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 182.3021 | I think it- it may have been both | 184.2404 |
138 | | 184.5427 | because I'm not gonna say that I was spoiled, but I was spoiled. | 187.2125 |
140 | | 187.4938 | So even when my mom tried to do | 189.0711 |
142 | | 189.1845 | that discipline thing, my grandparents kind of step in and was like, no. | 192.3539 |
144 | | 192.7611 | And she didn't like that, like, at the end of the day, she's still my child. | 195.6272 |
145 | DCB_int_01 | 196.2569 | [Mm-hm.] | 196.5549 |
146 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 196.2737 | [And so when she] tried to discipline me, they kind of disciplined her. | 198.3096 |
147 | DCB_int_01 | 199.0978 | Because their- [She was their child. You see how that-] | 201.7131 |
148 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 199.8954 | [<laugh>] | 202.0363 |
149 | DCB_int_01 | 202.0993 | [that's that children- Mm-hm.], | 203.1697 |
150 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 202.3386 | [Uh-huh.] | 203.1278 |
151 | DCB_int_01 | 203.2495 | but it didn't quite work. | 204.3074 |
152 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 204.3577 | [Mm-hm.] | 204.8657 |
153 | DCB_int_01 | 204.6894 | [Mm-hm.] | 205.0630 |
154 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 205.2970 | So, | 205.9183 |
156 | | 206.2331 | and then after- because she was still young, I think it may have been like a type of | 209.1884 |
158 | | 209.7426 | envy. | 210.2967 |
160 | | 211.2234 | Type of | 211.7103 |
162 | | 212.0630 | [thing.] | 212.5121 |
163 | DCB_int_01 | 212.0630 | [What do you mean?] | 212.5121 |
164 | | 213.8093 | She was envious of [you?] | 215.3163 |
165 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 215.1274 | [I] believe so cause we had like uh, a rocky patch in our relationship. | 218.8919 |
166 | | 219.2739 | And it wasn't until I really got older, probably like high school, | 222.5808 |
168 | | 223.1475 | college that we got like, real close. | 225.2338 |
169 | DCB_int_01 | 225.4185 | Mm. | 225.6872 |
171 | | 226.2571 | So tell me about- Okay. So tell me about your neighborhood, your house, like what you remember. Like, I mean like, | 231.1224 |
173 | | 231.3323 | physically. Your block, | 232.6116 |
175 | | 232.9138 | and like, | 233.2497 |
177 | | 233.4596 | did you play with other kids in the neighborhood? | 235.5417 |
178 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 236.2302 | Okay, so | 237.2670 |
180 | | 237.8999 | again, my grandparents- | 239.6000 |
182 | | 240.1751 | I don't want to say they kept me sheltered in, but I didn't live in a neighborhood. So, | 243.9228 |
184 | | 244.3888 | I lived in a five bedroom, four bathroom house. I'm talking about you go outside, you could hear | 248.8459 |
186 | | 249.0054 | a pin drop, | 249.6728 |
188 | | 249.8618 | the birds chirping. All older people, really no kids on my block. | 253.1445 |
190 | | 253.6388 | And as I got older and wanted to play with kids, and I went to school, | 257.3203 |
192 | | 257.6981 | I'm like, well dad, | 258.7308 |
194 | | 259.1202 | talking to my grandfather- | 260.0395 |
196 | | 260.3544 | I want to hang out where the ice cream trucks come, and | 262.8605 |
198 | | 263.1501 | everybody's outside playing. And I want to hang in the neighborhood. | 265.9701 |
200 | | 266.5620 | And he was just over protective. But then my best friend, | 268.7827 |
202 | | 269.2150 | who I met | 269.8489 |
204 | | 270.1375 | lived in a neighborhood Woodland, | 272.0770 |
206 | | 272.2533 | and I used to have to beg | 273.3027 |
208 | | 273.5042 | to go over there. But he made sure he dropped me off | 275.1918 |
210 | | 275.4258 | and picked me up. | 276.1269 |
212 | | 276.7230 | So I didn't live in a neighborhood essentially, | 278.6204 |
214 | | 278.9604 | but as I got older, | 280.0477 |
216 | | 280.2355 | I started to hang | 281.3847 |
218 | | 281.8895 | with my best friend in her neighborhood. | 283.3420 |
219 | DCB_int_01 | 283.5225 | So your neighborhood was really quiet. | 285.2352 |
220 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 285.2562 | Very quiet. | 286.0916 |
221 | DCB_int_01 | 286.2711 | Was it r- Do you feel r- Did you feel really safe? | 288.3448 |
222 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 288.3448 | Very safe. | 289.3019 |
223 | | 289.5580 | Uh! | 289.7385 |
224 | DCB_int_01 | 289.6797 | Now Woodland has a reputation. | 291.3243 |
225 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 291.4586 | Yes. | 292.0421 |
227 | | 292.2856 | [<laugh>] | 293.4442 |
228 | DCB_int_01 | 292.3024 | [So how was it] going from | 294.4937 |
229 | | 294.6532 | prim and proper neighborhood, [white picket fence almost] | 298.1240 |
230 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 296.3029 | [<laugh>] | 298.0566 |
231 | DCB_int_01 | 298.6191 | to | 299.2026 |
233 | | 299.3999 | um, we in the hood. | 301.0245 |
234 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 301.3142 | [<laugh>] | 301.9270 |
235 | DCB_int_01 | 301.5660 | [Like]- | 301.9270 |
236 | | 302.3626 | did- wasn't- | 302.9125 |
238 | | 303.2945 | Am I right? Was Woodland t- the [hood?] | 305.3389 |
239 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 304.5917 | [Mm, yes.] | 305.3683 |
240 | DCB_int_01 | 305.4690 | Right, so how as that transition? | 307.2825 |
241 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 307.4452 | So 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 school | 315.1892 |
243 | | 315.6888 | with a few of them, so I had knew a lot of people, but it was very different. | 318.4080 |
245 | | 318.9621 | But it also made me appreciate | 320.5657 |
247 | | 321.1324 | how I was brought up and where I came from and where I lived. | 323.6081 |
249 | | 324.0740 | But 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 or | 328.5994 |
251 | | 329.1577 | the go go bands would come around their neighborhood and play. And that was fun for me. | 333.1488 |
253 | | 333.9338 | But 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 be | 340.2002 |
255 | | 340.6903 | all the time. | 341.3998 |
256 | DCB_int_01 | 342.1134 | Um, so when you went to- What elementary school did you go to? | 342.5526 |
257 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 346.2053 | So I went to /RD-SCHOOL-5/. | 348.9297 |
259 | | 349.1102 | Everything was on Capitol Hill. | 350.3696 |
261 | | 350.9814 | So I did /RD-SCHOOL-3/. | 352.5011 |
263 | | 352.7194 | I did /RD-SCHOOL-2/. I did /RD-SCHOOL-3/. | 354.8225 |
265 | | 355.3220 | But then, | 355.9139 |
267 | | 356.2613 | I got put out of /RD-SCHOOL-3/ and that's when I had to go to my neighborhood school | 360.5012 |
269 | | 361.1267 | which was /RD-SCHOOL-2/, and that's how I met my best friend. | 363.4932 |
270 | DCB_int_01 | 364.0557 | So how did you- Okay, wait a minute. So how did you get put out of [the school?] | 366.7539 |
271 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 366.2712 | [<laugh>] | 377.1049 |
272 | DCB_int_01 | 366.9848 | [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 |
285 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 378.2834 | [So]- | 379.2993 |
286 | | 381.8726 | So, | 382.7206 |
287 | DCB_int_01 | 382.8465 | Mm-hm. | 383.4384 |
288 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 384.5036 | um, one of the teachers- | 386.4179 |
290 | | 387.1945 | She was a little | 388.1978 |
292 | | 388.9523 | off the chain, and [so] we had got into it at one point. And she told me like, | 393.8429 |
293 | DCB_int_01 | 390.4258 | [Hm.] | 390.6693 |
294 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 394.3162 | I 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 | | 401.5229 | a back and forth thing. | 402.7991 |
298 | | 403.1643 | And I got suspended | 404.3103 |
300 | | 404.9347 | from school. | 405.4889 |
302 | | 405.7029 | Well they actually put me out | 406.7104 |
304 | | 407.3191 | /RD-SCHOOL-2/, so | 408.3980 |
306 | | 408.7926 | I went to /RD-SCHOOL-2/. | 409.6573 |
307 | DCB_int_01 | 409.9124 | So how- Wait. | 410.4035 |
309 | | 410.6806 | Where'd you- How did you end up w- Mc- at /RD-SCHOOL-3/? | 412.4059 |
310 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 413.3840 | I l- | 413.7031 |
312 | | 413.8500 | When I left /RD-SCHOOL-2/ because I was so academically | 416.8252 |
314 | | 417.1695 | excel in /RD-SCHOOL-2/, | 418.2987 |
316 | | 418.7982 | um, /RD-SCHOOL-3/ had reopened, | 420.5152 |
318 | | 420.9003 | [and so I had] to apply and all that stuff. | 422.5039 |
319 | DCB_int_01 | 420.9171 | [/Oh/.] | 421.2404 |
320 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 422.8524 | Even 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 | | 429.6309 | not doing [anything.] | 430.6174 |
323 | DCB_int_01 | 430.0843 | [I don't know about] /RD-SCHOOL-1/- Tell me- I don't know about /RD-SCHOOL-2/ [I've not-] | 433.0553 |
324 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 432.3543 | [So /RD-SCHOOL-2/] is in Southeast, | 434.5875 |
325 | | 434.9779 | and | 435.4252 |
327 | | 435.5300 | there's the Woodland kids. There's | 437.2616 |
329 | | 437.8776 | /Juna Vista Terrace/ kids. It's the | 440.0815 |
331 | | 440.2704 | Thirtieth Street kids. It's just that | 442.4158 |
333 | | 442.8469 | Naylor Gardens, that whole | 444.2070 |
335 | | 444.5470 | area. | 445.0592 |
337 | | 445.7392 | So it's like a neighborhood school. It's not like a school, like, oh I'm sending my child there. No. | 449.2518 |
338 | DCB_int_01 | 449.8731 | Was it [like, they just-] | 451.1870 |
339 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 450.2425 | [It's a school that you don't] want to go to. I'm talking my grandfather and grandmother was in tears. | 454.0573 |
340 | DCB_int_01 | 456.7859 | Like | 457.2603 |
342 | | 458.6530 | Kids were bad- Like, I don't- [What do you mean?] Like it was [unsafe?] | 461.3018 |
343 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 459.8536 | [Yeah.] | 460.1684 |
345 | | 460.7729 | [Bad.] Yeah. It was bad. Mm-hm. | 462.6493 |
346 | DCB_int_01 | 462.7249 | Like gangs and [stuff?] | 463.7492 |
347 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 463.3756 | [Gangs, mm-hm.] | 464.5541 |
348 | DCB_int_01 | 464.2981 | So tell me about like- [and do you remember like, the gang activity?] | 467.5094 |
349 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 465.2300 | [<laugh>] | 467.4507 |
350 | | 467.8411 | Um- | 468.5169 |
351 | DCB_int_01 | 468.4917 | I mean, | 468.8486 |
352 | | 469.0039 | not that you necessarily [involved, but like, seeing it.] | 471.2781 |
353 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 469.8634 | [Not necessarily gang activities], but neighborhood beefs. | 472.9363 |
354 | DCB_int_01 | 472.9866 | Like what? | 473.4316 |
355 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 474.0183 | [Oh.] | 474.8201 |
356 | DCB_int_01 | 474.0319 | [Like give me an example.] | 475.0982 |
357 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 475.5757 | Like, | 476.6839 |
359 | | 477.1415 | if Woodland was beefing with another | 479.2992 |
361 | | 479.6938 | area, | 480.3445 |
363 | | 480.9437 | they would fight like after school and stuff like that. | 483.6597 |
364 | DCB_int_01 | 484.1047 | But there was just- It was like fist fight. There were no guns [and stuff.] | 486.7232 |
365 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 486.1564 | [No, no guns] and stuff. No. | 487.7936 |
366 | DCB_int_01 | 488.4611 | Wow. | 488.7381 |
368 | | 488.9900 | Was it girls, boys, was it [mix?] | 490.8833 |
369 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 490.2704 | [Girls] and boys. | 491.8351 |
370 | DCB_int_01 | 491.8813 | Were they different groups? | 492.9812 |
371 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 493.1659 | Different groups, mm-hm. | 494.3748 |
372 | DCB_int_01 | 494.4882 | So- but I'm saying like- Okay. | 496.2503 |
374 | | 496.4769 | So- | 496.9177 |
376 | | 497.4970 | Do you see what I'm saying? Okay, so I'll give you an example. One girl was telling me about [the gangs]- | 501.9406 |
377 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 500.9939 | [No if they- If it was a] neighborhood, it would be like- If the girls and boys from your neighborhood? They | 504.6408 |
378 | | 504.7919 | together. Like they walking together. Like, | 506.8237 |
380 | | 507.3558 | [Girls, boys, it's the whole neighborhood, not- not by sex.] | 510.5378 |
381 | DCB_int_01 | 507.3893 | [It's the whole neighborhood was beefing, not- not- the girls of the neighborhood] | 510.5587 |
382 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 510.8988 | But no, but when I was | 511.9692 |
384 | | 512.5590 | growing up the girl gangs were more popular, | 515.0723 |
386 | | 515.5619 | so then we stopped talking about neighborhoods, and it become | 517.7998 |
388 | | 517.9045 | girl gangs like Most Wanted, Shut 'Em Down, | 520.7926 |
390 | | 521.5759 | that type of [stuff.] | 522.4586 |
391 | DCB_int_01 | 521.9583 | [Which] is very different from the ones I heard- And so those are very specific to the neighborhood and the school? | 526.2237 |
392 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 526.5734 | No. That was just | 527.8510 |
394 | | 528.0096 | all over, like you could be from different places. | 530.6010 |
395 | DCB_int_01 | 530.7082 | Because that's very di- Like, | 531.8507 |
397 | | 532.2377 | I wonder- I'm'a look back at the list that she gave me- I can't even remember who I was talking to, but she listed some. But they were very [different.] | 538.3822 |
398 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 537.9299 | [Different.] | 538.4149 |
399 | DCB_int_01 | 538.6107 | [Like the /Y's/-] | 540.0970 |
400 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 538.6200 | [Yep, and it's probably ages.] | 540.2893 |
401 | DCB_int_01 | 540.4747 | Y two- | 541.4819 |
403 | | 541.8223 | Y two G gang or some- It was like [a lot of different names] and- | 545.2309 |
404 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 543.7061 | [Mm-hm.] | 544.9324 |
405 | | 545.3614 | But like most- When I was coming up, it was like Most Wanted, Shut 'Em Down. | 548.5031 |
406 | DCB_int_01 | 549.0813 | Those are the ones you [remember?] | 550.3263 |
407 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 549.7387 | [Those type of] things. | 550.6973 |
408 | DCB_int_01 | 550.7786 | [Were] you ever like, wanting to be in the gang? Or wanted to- You know, I'm gonna [be in a gang?] | 554.6150 |
409 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 554.1067 | [<laugh>] | 555.2118 |
410 | DCB_int_01 | 555.2678 | No that's a- that's a legit question. [It's a-] | 557.2731 |
411 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 556.7739 | [Not necessarily] | 557.9629 |
412 | | 558.2194 | in the gang, | 559.1928 |
414 | | 559.5658 | but um, | 561.1186 |
416 | | 561.8273 | <ts> I knew | 562.5874 |
418 | | 563.0817 | everything that was going on cause I had friends in all the different types of gangs. | 563.7643 |
421 | | 567.6315 | I necessarily wasn't in it, but | 569.3847 |
423 | | 570.2742 | my 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 became | 577.5565 |
425 | | 578.0554 | into all the stuff that they was doing, not necessarily like the fighting and stuff but the fashion and stuff behind it. | 582.5318 |
426 | DCB_int_01 | 582.7592 | So like [give me an example.] | 584.2699 |
427 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 583.0902 | [So they thought it was gang] affiliated, but it really wasn't. So this was a time when | 586.6853 |
428 | | 587.0350 | the girls was wearing rubber bands around their | 589.6171 |
430 | | 590.0275 | um, jeans. | 591.5056 |
432 | | 592.1398 | And like, bandanas and stuff like that. | 594.5365 |
434 | | 595.0762 | And so the principal- Of course, cause it was | 597.3984 |
436 | | 597.7434 | me, and I guess she felt like I was different | 600.2556 |
438 | | 600.7312 | from 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, and | 608.2280 |
440 | | 608.7549 | /you might wanna ch-/. But I really wasn't in a gang, it was just- it was cute. | 611.7566 |
442 | | 612.3477 | Fashionable at the time, but I wasn't in no | 614.8806 |
444 | | 615.1000 | gang. No. <laugh> | 616.6853 |
445 | DCB_int_01 | 616.6667 | So did you- Okay. So then, how long were you there? For a year? Two [years?] | 620.1254 |
446 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 619.9202 | [I was] there seventh and eighth grade. | 621.3377 |
447 | DCB_int_01 | 621.5522 | Okay, so you were there for two years. [And then you] went to /RD-SCHOOL-3/. | 624.4432 |
448 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 622.7273 | [Mm-hm.] | 623.3008 |
449 | | 624.4747 | Yes. | 624.8897 |
450 | DCB_int_01 | 624.8850 | Okay. How was that experience? | 626.7922 |
451 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 626.8435 | Completely different | 627.8460 |
453 | | 628.2843 | because being at /RD-SCHOOL-2/, I was one who wanted to | 631.9515 |
455 | | 632.0961 | do work, as opposed to everybody else not wanting to. | 634.5361 |
456 | DCB_int_01 | 634.6993 | Mm-hm. | 634.9837 |
457 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 635.0350 | But then when I went to /RD-SCHOOL-3/, this coming from everybody that | 637.3560 |
459 | | 637.5612 | wanted good for theirself, wanted different, wanted better. | 639.8180 |
461 | | 640.0465 | So it was- w- | 640.5454 |
463 | | 640.8112 | It was a academic | 641.6645 |
465 | | 641.8650 | competition, so it's- a competition so to speak. | 644.1534 |
467 | | 644.6383 | So 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 and | 650.4844 |
469 | | 650.8481 | throwing 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 | | 656.6476 | You had to go through a lot of [stuff.] | 657.8553 |
472 | DCB_int_01 | 657.7014 | [Now] was /RD-SCHOOL-2/- That's like- | 659.2915 |
473 | | 659.8464 | STEM | 660.4199 |
475 | | 660.8850 | at that point, or math science was the main focus, right? [Or was it-] | 664.4755 |
476 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 663.8926 | [No], so | 665.1003 |
477 | | 665.2775 | the STEM part of /RD-SCHOOL-3/ just came about | 667.3047 |
479 | | 667.4726 | [um, after] I graduated. When I went to /RD-SCHOOL-3/, you got to pick between three concentrations. You was either in Broadcast, | 673.5891 |
480 | DCB_int_01 | 667.5145 | [Okay.] | 667.9109 |
481 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 674.2000 | IT, | 675.2849 |
483 | | 677.6039 | and it was another one. | 678.9317 |
484 | DCB_int_01 | 679.1182 | So what did you do? | 679.7150 |
485 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 679.8922 | I did Broadcast. | 681.3377 |
486 | DCB_int_01 | 681.4776 | So what did you want to do? Like, at that point? | 683.5666 |
488 | | 684.2602 | What- | 684.5167 |
490 | | 684.7825 | Did- Is that just because you chose that one or is there something [like, you specifically-] | 688.0931 |
491 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 686.8761 | [Because Broadcast was more] fun. I think that because I was very detail oriented, I liked um, writing, so i- it became part of like script writing, filming, behind the camera, | 696.2241 |
492 | | 696.6566 | all that type of stuff. | 697.6218 |
493 | DCB_int_01 | 698.4331 | What color are you? | 699.1512 |
494 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 700.3962 | Green. | 700.8532 |
495 | DCB_int_01 | 701.3521 | You're gree- What's your second color? | 702.4665 |
496 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 702.5680 | Yellow. | 703.0856 |
497 | DCB_int_01 | 704.0788 | What's your third color? | 704.8994 |
498 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 705.6362 | Blue. | 706.1351 |
499 | DCB_int_01 | 707.1376 | Fa- I would think | 708.1541 |
501 | | 708.4980 | because [you are- You-] You are very [detail- So I would think blue would be higher.] | 712.5734 |
502 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 708.8244 | [<laugh>] | 709.4213 |
504 | | 710.4984 | [<laugh> /Think/ blue- Mm-hm.] Mm-mm. Green, yellow and blue.] | 714.1821 |
505 | DCB_int_01 | 715.7990 | Mm. But yellow I can se- I mean green and yellow I can see that too cause you're all about- Like, all the girls love to sit at your desk [and help you and] | 722.5450 |
506 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 721.2301 | [Mm-hm.] | 722.3352 |

508 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 724.1491 | [<laugh>] | 725.4827 |
509 | DCB_int_01 | 725.5806 | But your comment is on- Your comment [is right, so I can't be mad.] | 728.3912 |
510 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 727.0249 | [<laugh>] | 729.0113 |

518 | DCB_int_01 | 737.0583 | What's your favorite book? | 737.9490 |
519 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 739.3467 | See, I can't say a favorite book cause I'm more of the | 742.6200 |
521 | | 743.0490 | black book type person. [/Know/ like] the | 745.6917 |

528 | | 752.8062 | Coldest Winter Ever is a hood bo- but that was the type of books I read, so- so- so- it was like, Thug Life maybe. Um, | 758.2513 |
530 | | 759.7807 | it was just a few of those books that I liked, so like Zane [books.] | 763.0622 |
531 | DCB_int_01 | 762.8058 | [Mm-hm.] What's your favorite Zane book? | 764.4891 |
532 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 765.5476 | It had to be Addicted. | 766.6480 |
533 | DCB_int_01 | 767.0444 | Why? | 767.3754 |
534 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 768.1250 | Cause it was just [nice.] | 769.6218 |
535 | DCB_int_01 | 769.2394 | [What happened?] | 769.8083 |
536 | | 770.3539 | I haven't read it, but | 771.5103 |
538 | | 771.8180 | I've- | 772.1771 |
540 | | 772.5081 | I've heard a lot about- about | 774.3919 |
542 | | 774.6939 | Zane. I'm actually s- just started Coldest Winter Ever. | 777.0673 |
544 | | 777.5989 | I've never [read it.] | 778.1957 |
545 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 777.9299 | [Coldest] Winter Ever, it's great. [But it's funny] because even though I liked those books it was nothing that I related to cause even though I was reading these books | 783.8367 |
546 | DCB_int_01 | 779.2309 | [/It is good?/] | 779.8091 |
547 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 784.2097 | as I was younger, I wasn't really into the streets, | 786.4805 |
549 | | 786.9224 | wasn't having sex, so I don't even know | 788.5823 |
551 | | 789.1093 | why I liked it. Like, | 790.2843 |
553 | | 791.1609 | [I didn't-] | 791.5013 |
554 | DCB_int_01 | 791.1656 | [But it's] probably because you weren't doing [those things. Right?] It was- It was- You were [able to live vicariously through the book.] | 796.7832 |
555 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 793.0731 | [<laugh>] | 794.3424 |
557 | | 794.7036 | [But you would think that- But it would th-] But it would think that you- It would make you want to go out and do those things, and it didn't for me. I think I waited til college until I started doing all that. | 802.9558 |
558 | DCB_int_01 | 803.6692 | [But see that's] exactly [what- That's ex-] That's ex- [Amen. Thank God she read the books. Yes, Jesus.] | 808.7739 |
559 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 803.7100 | [Uh-huh-huh.] | 804.4281 |
561 | | 804.8617 | [<laugh>] | 805.6311 |
563 | | 806.2420 | [<laugh>] | 809.3381 |
564 | DCB_int_01 | 809.8172 | Um, what college did you go to? | 810.9876 |
565 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 811.2208 | /RD-SCHOOL-8/ in Ohio. | 813.0486 |
566 | DCB_int_01 | 813.7248 | Oh, how did you- | 814.5921 |
568 | | 815.0304 | Now I asked you. | 816.0236 |
569 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 816.3162 | [<laugh>] | 816.9876 |
570 | DCB_int_01 | 816.3208 | [I said,] | 816.9876 |
571 | | 817.7477 | did you live anywhere else? | 818.9880 |
573 | | 819.1839 | Northeast. | 819.9392 |
574 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 820.3076 | [Oh I didn't /know/! <laugh>] | 822.7543 |
575 | DCB_int_01 | 820.3169 | [So- /So-/] | 821.2355 |
577 | | 821.6412 | [<laugh> I mean, well you kind of did live t- I mean, going to college- | 824.6570 |
578 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 824.7036 | Well it is- I was there for four years! | 826.6294 |
579 | DCB_int_01 | 826.5734 | Right, so you did live there. | 828.1576 |
580 | | 828.4934 | Um, tell me how was that experience, like leaving DC cause that's very different. | 832.8765 |
581 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 832.8998 | Very [different. <laugh>] | 838.8112 |
582 | DCB_int_01 | 833.4081 | [Like, you all up in Ohio. You in middle America.] | 836.1440 |
584 | | 836.7362 | [Sort of.] | 837.1839 |
586 | | 837.4590 | [Not quite middle yet, but] | 838.8718 |
587 | | 839.2355 | how was that? | 839.8744 |
588 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 840.1949 | [Uh-] | 840.5120 |
589 | DCB_int_01 | 840.2008 | [And how did] you- Wait. [How did you get to Ohio?] | 842.3585 |
590 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 841.0762 | [<laugh>] | 842.4471 |
591 | DCB_int_01 | 842.5544 | Like, | 842.7875 |
593 | | 843.1372 | how- What- What made you go from [/RD-SCHOOL-4/ to] | 845.9863 |
594 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 845.2402 | [<laugh>] | 846.0049 |
595 | | 846.3442 | Uh- | 846.5260 |
596 | DCB_int_01 | 846.7312 | [Ohi- Like there's so many schools like Howard, Georgetown], George Washington. You could go to [UVA, like-] | 852.0096 |
597 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 846.7545 | [/RD-SCHOOL-3/ <laugh>] | 849.7621 |
599 | | 851.2122 | [So] I knew I didn't want to stay | 853.9435 |
600 | | 854.3352 | [in DC], | 855.0253 |
601 | DCB_int_01 | 854.3539 | [Mm.] | 854.7316 |
602 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 855.9952 | even though my grandparents | 857.1003 |
604 | | 857.7893 | begged me to stay in DC. | 859.7290 |
606 | | 860.0694 | And so, um, | 861.6175 |
608 | | 862.4615 | in Broadcast, I became friends with one of my friends Charity, who is now my sorority sister. | 868.0651 |
610 | | 868.4895 | Um, her mom | 870.5085 |
612 | | 871.3467 | went 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 | | 882.1996 | And 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 feel | 887.5759 |
616 | | 888.0317 | of what it is. So we stayed on campus like that whole weekend. We got to go to all the parties, all the step shows | 892.9884 |
618 | | 893.3941 | and all that stuff. | 894.3365 |
620 | | 894.5820 | And 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 | | 903.0673 | KKK, like, | 904.4801 |
624 | | 905.3708 | it was- | 905.8744 |
626 | | 906.1028 | it was off the chain. | 907.0249 |
628 | | 907.5425 | But 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 based | 913.1695 |
630 | | 913.7011 | school, so I had got like a um- | 915.4077 |
632 | | 915.6968 | a small faith based scholarship. | 917.2262 |
634 | | 917.7380 | And so, I liked that religious aspect cause I was very | 920.4844 |
636 | | 920.7595 | um, | 921.2258 |
638 | | 922.2750 | into church, well church going | 924.3826 |
640 | | 924.8990 | um, at that point in my life. And so, | 926.9041 |
642 | | 927.1186 | that's where I wanted to be, somewhere that was church affiliated, somewhere that was family /orienated/ | 930.6064 |
644 | | 930.9550 | and small. I didn't want to go to a big school. I didn't want to be a number. | 933.5009 |
646 | | 933.6875 | And so- | 934.2283 |
648 | | 934.6154 | I'm talking about all the classes in one building type small. | 937.0902 |
649 | DCB_int_01 | 938.0461 | Oh, like, little. | 939.1745 |
650 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 939.1372 | [<laugh> No.] | 943.4866 |
651 | DCB_int_01 | 940.1211 | [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 |
654 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 944.6523 | Little. [Maybe no more than fifteen-] | 946.4801 |
655 | DCB_int_01 | 945.3471 | [Like five hundred.] | 946.5221 |
656 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 946.7926 | Maybe no more than a thousand fifteen hundred. | 948.9736 |
657 | DCB_int_01 | 949.2115 | For the whole- | 949.8876 |
658 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 950.3679 | But 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 and | 956.2832 |
659 | DCB_int_01 | 950.3772 | [/four years-/] | 951.1139 |
660 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 956.6889 | if I wanted to | 957.3671 |
662 | | 957.4917 | get other campus feel, | 958.7266 |
664 | | 958.9644 | I could go right across the street to Central where a lot of people from DC | 961.7936 |
666 | | 962.1853 | um, ended up going. Then Wright State, | 963.8313 |
668 | | 964.6660 | up the street. If I wanted to get fancy, I could go to O State | 967.4682 |
670 | | 967.5979 | and come /out ??/. | 968.8521 |
672 | | 969.9572 | [I liked my school.] | 970.9551 |
673 | DCB_int_01 | 969.9572 | [So did you drive?] | 970.9597 |
674 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 971.2115 | No, I didn't drive, but all my friends, my sorority sisters, boyfriend. | 974.9594 |
675 | DCB_int_01 | 975.5329 | So what sorority are you in? | 976.4049 |
676 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 976.6287 | Gamma Phi Delta Sorority. | 978.2187 |
677 | DCB_int_01 | 978.2234 | And what's Gamma Phi- I've [never-] | 979.3926 |
678 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 979.2248 | [It's a] business and professional women sorority. | 982.0691 |
679 | DCB_int_01 | 982.4701 | [Mm-hm.] | 982.9084 |
680 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 982.4935 | [And] so, | 983.2861 |
681 | | 983.6265 | I know a lot of people that like Divine Nine but for me, | 986.0128 |
683 | | 986.3485 | when it came time for me to choose what sorority I wanted to | 989.2255 |
685 | | 989.6498 | um, partake in, | 991.3507 |
687 | | 991.6864 | Gamma Phi Delta was who was running the yard. | 993.9852 |
689 | | 995.2302 | They 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 | | 1002.7958 | And so, | 1003.4299 |
693 | | 1003.6910 | when I became a part of Gamma Phi Delta, | 1005.4956 |
695 | | 1006.3069 | our line was twelve. That was the biggest /RD-SCHOOL-3/ had seen | 1009.9615 |
697 | | 1010.4977 | in awhile because | 1011.7940 |
699 | | 1012.1204 | people wasn't really | 1012.9597 |
701 | | 1013.4120 | doing other things, and so once I became, it was like, oh everybody wanted to be in Gamma. Then I became president, | 1017.7054 |
703 | | 1017.9759 | at the sorority, | 1018.8711 |
705 | | 1019.5659 | and things like that. So I kind of took it- | 1021.3740 |
707 | | 1022.5770 | Uh, so that's who ran the yard up until I graduated. So. | 1026.1022 |
708 | DCB_int_01 | 1026.4787 | I could see you- I could see that. | 1027.9055 |
709 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 1027.9801 | [<laugh>] | 1028.5630 |
710 | DCB_int_01 | 1028.2180 | [But did] y'all- Okay. So did y'all do like, | 1030.0318 |
711 | | 1030.4328 | um- Did y'all participate with like- Did y'all do step shows? Did y'all do the stuff? | 1034.2832 |
712 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 1034.3625 | We did do step shows, but um, | 1036.9597 |
714 | | 1037.6265 | we were cool with like, the Divine Nine, | 1039.6771 |
715 | DCB_int_01 | 1039.7936 | Mm-hm. | 1040.0501 |
716 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 1039.9568 | not so much the girls, um, | 1041.8406 |
717 | | 1042.3069 | but the guys | 1043.2349 |
719 | | 1043.6219 | and some of the | 1044.3854 |
721 | | 1044.8424 | female | 1045.4346 |
722 | DCB_int_01 | 1045.5885 | [So did y'all do like, parties] [with them?] | 1047.6401 |
723 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 1045.6071 | [/unintelligible/] | 1046.6423 |
725 | | 1047.1039 | [We did parties], yep. Mm-hm. Mixes with the Qs, | 1050.4705 |
726 | | 1050.7258 | with the Sigmas. | 1051.7330 |

729 | | 1053.2018 | What's your favorite? | 1053.8546 |

742 | | 1063.4486 | it's weird. I feel like they like the | 1064.8568 |
744 | | 1065.3744 | businessmen in a suit, but they also like the | 1067.5426 |
746 | | 1067.7897 | manly man, like, not the the- you know they got that street edge, but business mentality. | 1072.7825 |

783 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 1123.0382 | [Right, and so my] founders were a part of the Divine Nine, so that's why we didn't accept the invitation cause our founders were already a part | 1129.4066 |
784 | | 1129.8169 | of D Nine organizations. | 1131.6308 |
785 | DCB_int_01 | 1132.3356 | [Mm.] | 1133.5823 |
786 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 1132.9465 | [And so], | 1133.7718 |
787 | | 1134.7417 | we did [not.] | 1135.2499 |
788 | DCB_int_01 | 1134.9935 | [Who were they?] Deltas, [AKAs?] | 1136.3970 |
789 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 1136.0846 | [Yep.] | 1136.4110 |
790 | DCB_int_01 | 1136.5136 | [Mm-hm.] | 1137.0125 |
791 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 1136.7607 | [Mm-hm.] | 1137.3296 |
792 | DCB_int_01 | 1137.4916 | Because the AKs, then the Deltas broke off. That's why [they're call-] [Deltas change], right? | 1141.5390 |
793 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 1140.1915 | [Yeah.] | 1140.5318 |
795 | | 1140.7137 | [Mm-hm.] | 1141.1940 |
796 | DCB_int_01 | 1142.0659 | Um, | 1142.6908 |
798 | | 1143.1606 | so how was Greek life? | 1144.7133 |
800 | | 1145.4174 | Do you fe- Like, do you feel like you got the Greek experience? | 1148.5369 |
801 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 1148.6441 | [I did g-] | 1149.5581 |
802 | DCB_int_01 | 1148.6441 | Even then with the | 1149.5581 |
803 | | 1149.6408 | not being in the Divine Nine? | 1150.9045 |
804 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 1151.2122 | Yes of course, | 1152.2008 |
806 | | 1152.4199 | if not more, um, | 1154.1452 |
808 | | 1156.1911 | I want to see if I can say this. I pledged | 1158.6344 |
810 | | 1159.4318 | [ya-] | 1159.8421 |
811 | DCB_int_01 | 1159.4411 | [You had a] membership intake process. | 1161.2130 |
812 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 1161.9859 | Yeah. | 1162.3589 |
813 | DCB_int_01 | 1162.4102 | [Thank you.] | 1163.0071 |
814 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 1162.6107 | [Membership] intake process, | 1164.4293 |
815 | | 1165.0121 | and so I got the experience just as if anyone else did, and we got respect | 1169.5853 |
817 | | 1170.3733 | from 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 | | 1177.7442 | pro show- best pro sho any | 1179.6420 |
821 | | 1179.9672 | body have seen on the campus. And they came to us like, | 1182.2847 |
825 | | 1187.7018 | where 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 | | 1192.7366 | We 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 with | 1198.5268 |
829 | | 1198.8905 | underprivileged youth. | 1199.9490 |
831 | | 1200.4386 | And so we did other stuff than just parties, as opposed to what I think uh, Divine Nine's like, uh, social. | 1206.1029 |
833 | | 1206.3920 | Even though they do community stuff, most of it is social. | 1208.4763 |
835 | | 1208.8353 | And we did social, | 1209.9579 |
837 | | 1210.1911 | [business, and community.] | 1211.6785 |
838 | DCB_int_01 | 1210.4009 | [But that was the secondary] was the [social?] | 1212.4712 |
839 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 1212.2614 | [Mm-hm.] | 1213.0028 |
840 | DCB_int_01 | 1212.9282 | So what organization did y'all like, work with the most? | 1215.6373 |
841 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 1216.1584 | On campus it would have had to be | 1219.0075 |
843 | | 1219.4924 | the Sigmas, | 1221.1244 |
845 | | 1223.0957 | and it's this other um, Greek organization that's not Divine Nine, but New Zeta Epsilon. They're Christian based. | 1228.9651 |
846 | DCB_int_01 | 1229.7998 | But I mean like, I'm talking about youth. Like, what youth group did y'all work [with /th-/?] | 1233.2690 |
847 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 1232.7887 | [Oh it-] It wasn't necessarily youth group. We would just go out in the community and get youth in the community. | 1236.8722 |
848 | DCB_int_01 | 1237.0914 | Oh so y'all would do m- So [it wasn't] like you were part of the [Boys and Girls Club?] | 1240.0883 |
849 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 1238.0986 | [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 | | 1244.6348 | this f- uh, Halloween feast. And we'll go in the community like Walmart, pass out papers like the /Gammas/ are having | 1249.6976 |
854 | | 1250.1312 | The Autumn Festivities Festival, come here. And then all the youth would start to build up that way, | 1254.9375 |
856 | | 1255.2220 | like that. | 1255.6509 |
857 | DCB_int_01 | 1255.6230 | Gotcha. | 1256.1825 |
858 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 1256.3084 | [Mm-hm.] | 1256.9566 |
859 | DCB_int_01 | 1256.6348 | [Gotcha.] So you're more so giving them another option to [st- different things.] | 1260.4106 |
860 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 1259.3848 | [So we would host it on] campus, | 1261.1100 |
861 | | 1261.4085 | and we'll go in the community to get all the kids to come | 1263.5315 |
863 | | 1263.5863 | on the college campus to our event. | 1265.1610 |
864 | DCB_int_01 | 1265.3848 | But it wasn't a big city right? | 1266.6484 |
865 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 1266.8582 | No, not at all. | 1267.8701 |
867 | | 1268.3970 | [Mm-mm.] | 1268.8400 |
868 | DCB_int_01 | 1268.6395 | [With the] cornfields and [all that.] | 1270.0698 |
869 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 1269.4310 | [Yeah.] | 1270.0372 |
870 | DCB_int_01 | 1270.3899 | [<laugh> That was funny] to me. | 1271.7438 |
871 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 1270.3962 | [Mm-hm.] | 1271.3102 |
872 | DCB_int_01 | 1272.3034 | So, | 1272.9888 |
874 | | 1273.9913 | do you have any siblings? | 1275.1373 |
875 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 1275.5802 | Yes, one. | 1276.5828 |
876 | DCB_int_01 | 1276.6201 | Wait, first before we go back to the siblings, | 1278.3682 |
878 | | 1278.4729 | what did you major in in college? | 1279.7793 |
879 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 1280.0986 | Mass media and [communications.] | 1281.8997 |
880 | DCB_int_01 | 1281.5756 | [Oh] cause you did Broadcast. That makes sense. | 1283.4559 |
881 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 1283.3475 | <laugh> | 1284.3873 |
882 | | 1284.6438 | But I feel like I should have went with social work. | 1286.4411 |
883 | DCB_int_01 | 1287.0498 | Cause that's what you do. | 1287.7679 |
884 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 1288.0279 | Mm-hm. | 1288.3822 |
885 | DCB_int_01 | 1288.3543 | Right now. | 1288.7460 |
886 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 1288.7693 | Yeah, [my own mentoring] program, work with the kids. | 1291.6696 |
887 | DCB_int_01 | 1289.2589 | [Mm-hm.] | 1289.6226 |
888 | | 1292.2944 | But do you feel like that kind of gave you a idea? Like, | 1295.2962 |
890 | | 1295.6412 | how do you feel like that's connected? Cause I feel like everything we [do is connected.] | 1299.2317 |
891 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 1298.0240 | [I feel like it's connected too] cause I feel like, with dealing with that you have to learn how to communicate. If you know- You have to learn how to | 1303.1846 |
892 | | 1303.4971 | be able to talk to people and stuff like that. So I feel like it worked in a sense, | 1307.6565 |
894 | | 1308.4479 | but I definitely thought I should have went into social work. But I don't feel like I had to go into social work to be in social work. | 1312.7599 |
895 | DCB_int_01 | 1313.2402 | Mm-hm. | 1313.6645 |
897 | | 1313.8557 | Mm-hm. | 1314.2381 |
898 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 1314.6764 | Yeah. | 1314.9142 |
899 | DCB_int_01 | 1315.2126 | So did you- Okay. So you have one- You have a brother. | 1317.9066 |
900 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 1318.0325 | Mm-hm. | 1318.4569 |
901 | DCB_int_01 | 1318.4662 | Mm-hm. | 1318.8112 |
903 | | 1318.9558 | And how- | 1319.3661 |
905 | | 1319.8371 | Y'all have a age | 1320.7230 |
907 | | 1320.9002 | [gap.] | 1321.2639 |
908 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 1320.9795 | [Gap.] | 1321.2499 |
909 | | 1321.5111 | [Yep, eleven] years. | 1322.5649 |
910 | DCB_int_01 | 1321.6230 | [/Mm-hm/.] | 1321.9867 |
911 | | 1323.5942 | How was that? | 1324.1724 |
912 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 1324.6154 | <laugh> | 1325.6459 |
914 | | 1326.6018 | Um, I love my brother to death. We very close, and so even though that age gap is there, | 1332.5039 |
916 | | 1333.0401 | we're still very close. So I'm talking about even though he's thirteen, if I'm at home, he will come and lay up under me, lay in my bed. | 1338.8676 |
918 | | 1339.1986 | He 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 |
920 | | 1344.1681 | And then I kind of- | 1345.4458 |
922 | | 1345.7116 | My mom said I think I'm his mama, and I'm the one that like, | 1348.0885 |
924 | | 1348.5175 | got to know what school he going to, help register for school. | 1350.9795 |
926 | | 1351.4551 | I got to know about all doctor's appointments, got to give my decision, no, I don't think he should go there. | 1355.7018 |
928 | | 1356.1868 | he needs to go here. | 1357.0401 |
930 | | 1357.4458 | And so | 1358.1312 |
932 | | 1358.2944 | it's amazing. I love my younger brother. | 1360.3729 |
933 | DCB_int_01 | 1360.5268 | So, even now, are you and your mom more like sisters? | 1363.2173 |
935 | | 1363.4131 | Are y'all- Like is it, | 1364.4483 |
937 | | 1364.7969 | mother daughter or is it more like, | 1366.3356 |
939 | | 1366.8765 | That's my sister. | 1367.6552 |
941 | | 1368.3127 | I mean even though you might not call her your sister, but | 1370.1685 |
943 | | 1370.2571 | does it [feel more like] [that? Or does it] feel like, no, [that's my mama.] | 1373.2635 |
944 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 1370.6814 | [Mm-hm.] | 1371.2643 |
946 | | 1371.3669 | [Mm-hm.] | 1371.9358 |
948 | | 1372.5781 | [It f- It] feel like more like sisters. Mm-hm. | 1375.3665 |
949 | DCB_int_01 | 1376.0799 | Do you think she feels that way too? | 1377.5021 |
951 | | 1378.4895 | Or she feels like, no, that's my daughter. | 1379.8371 |
953 | | 1380.2800 | Don't get it twisted. | 1381.1753 |
954 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 1382.1219 | She'll say that, | 1383.0638 |
956 | | 1383.3051 | but I would think she would feel like sisters too. | 1385.2868 |
958 | | 1385.6552 | But it's just weird because when we in public, | 1387.9680 |
960 | | 1388.4436 | and I call her Ma, she be like, oh, don't call me Ma in public. /We/ try and guess my age. And we always laugh about it cause we be like, | 1393.3432 |
962 | | 1393.7022 | That's not your daughter. | 1394.4483 |
964 | | 1394.6162 | She be like, yes, that's my daughter. | 1395.9031 |
966 | | 1396.9931 | But it's more like sisters and my grandma just like, my [mother.] | 1399.9820 |
967 | DCB_int_01 | 1399.4271 | [/Mother/.] | 1399.8701 |
968 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 1400.1079 | <laugh> But it's weird but | 1401.6129 |
970 | | 1401.8600 | I still have that respect for my mother like, | 1403.1791 |
972 | | 1403.3165 | still gonna call her Ma. | 1404.7603 |
974 | | 1405.4038 | She named me after her, it's so weird. But | 1407.3855 |
976 | | 1407.5942 | um- | 1408.0745 |
978 | | 1408.1771 | [/So my mom-/] | 1408.7180 |
979 | DCB_int_01 | 1408.1864 | [So your mom is] also named /RD-NAME-3/. | 1409.6133 |
980 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 1409.8324 | /RD-NAME-3/, now I'm /RD-NAME-3/. | 1411.1520 |
981 | DCB_int_01 | 1411.3572 | Ah. [Gotcha. Okay.] | 1412.6301 |
982 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 1411.9913 | [And then I'm] | 1412.6441 |
983 | | 1412.7980 | /RD-NAME-2/ and she's /RD-NAME-2/. | 1414.3683 |
984 | DCB_int_01 | 1415.1190 | Gotcha. | 1415.8371 |
985 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 1415.6552 | [<laugh>] But yeah. We have that mother daughter relationship, but it's more like sisters cause she's so young. So like, a lot of stuff like, you can't really get away on her cause l- | 1423.9867 |
986 | DCB_int_01 | 1416.1961 | [Okay.] | 1416.8769 |
987 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 1424.4296 | she- | 1424.7001 |
988 | DCB_int_01 | 1425.2305 | [I think that's why] you and /RD-NAME-3/ get along cause she's your mom's [age.] | 1428.5132 |
989 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 1425.2398 | [/I think I have a good-/] | 1425.9439 |
991 | | 1428.2381 | [Mm.] | 1428.7277 |

993 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 1429.0168 | [A little bit youn- youn-] Yep, cause my mom about to be forty next year. [So, Dom- older- Yep.] By two years, yep. [Mm-hm.] | 1435.6976 |
994 | DCB_int_01 | 1433.1097 | [So she's a little older than your mom.] | 1434.6298 |
996 | | 1435.4971 | [And I] think that's exactly- But that's [why you- Is why because you-] That's what you've [grown up with. And I think it's] that big sister- | 1442.0286 |
997 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 1436.8213 | [But that probably is why then- <laugh>] | 1438.9185 |
999 | | 1439.5899 | [Grown up with. Mm-hm.] | 1441.0634 |
1000 | DCB_int_01 | 1442.3177 | Cause I think that's why- It's funny watching you and /RD-NAME-3/. | 1444.5967 |
1001 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 1445.3708 | Yep. | 1445.7252 |
1002 | DCB_int_01 | 1446.4806 | It's very much like the big [sister], [but like] not the real big sister cause like, I think | 1451.1003 |
1003 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 1448.1126 | [Huh.] | 1448.3457 |
1005 | | 1448.6768 | [/Uh-huh/.] | 1449.1384 |
1006 | DCB_int_01 | 1451.3148 | your mom is like [the real big sister. But /RD-NAME-3/ like your little big sister.] | 1454.8307 |
1007 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 1452.1075 | [The real big sister. But /RD-NAME-3/ like a little- Yep.] Mm-hm. I think so [too.] | 1456.3449 |
1008 | DCB_int_01 | 1456.2051 | [Mm-hm.] And then /RD-NAME-2/ is like the mama. | 1457.9350 |
1009 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 1457.8977 | Mm-hm. | 1458.5412 |
1010 | DCB_int_01 | 1459.1427 | Yeah, she- | 1459.6836 |
1012 | | 1459.8281 | she most definitely is. She's always- She said it, | 1461.6420 |
1014 | | 1462.2843 | I had to be the principal today. Lord, these children. | 1464.4526 |
1015 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 1464.6251 | [Mm-hm. She's like the mama. Yep. Mm-hm.] | 1467.5114 |
1016 | DCB_int_01 | 1464.7883 | [And-] | 1465.0261 |

1032 | DCB_int_01 | 1481.3615 | So your mama- So your grandparents had three kids. | 1483.7395 |
1033 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 1483.7349 | Yep. | 1484.0519 |
1034 | DCB_int_01 | 1484.7467 | Two boys and a girl. | 1485.5814 |
1035 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 1485.7388 | Mm-hm. | 1486.2004 |
1036 | DCB_int_01 | 1486.4429 | Was your mom the youngest or oldest? | 1487.8044 |
1037 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 1488.3453 | <ts> My mom is the baby. | 1489.4458 |
1038 | DCB_int_01 | 1490.1032 | [Spoiled.] | 1490.8446 |
1039 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 1490.4343 | [So] when I came, | 1491.4497 |
1040 | | 1491.7807 | I [became the baby.] | 1492.7366 |
1041 | DCB_int_01 | 1492.1118 | [Oh.] | 1492.7226 |
1042 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 1493.0211 | [So that's what I was] telling you | 1494.2567 |
1043 | DCB_int_01 | 1493.0211 | [/That's why-/] | 1493.7578 |
1044 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 1494.5552 | [<laugh>] So it became] not about her and more so about me. | 1498.9558 |
1045 | DCB_int_01 | 1495.0028 | [Now I see that it makes sense. | 1496.7934 |
1046 | | 1498.9744 | And that's when she was y- [How big-] How | 1500.5878 |
1047 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 1499.6832 | [Yeah.] | 1500.3034 |
1048 | DCB_int_01 | 1500.7836 | big is the gap from your mom to your- | 1502.3271 |
1050 | | 1502.6022 | your uncle? Your- the middle child? | 1504.3543 |
1051 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 1504.4895 | U- u- So, | 1504.9325 |
1053 | | 1505.2216 | um, I think it's three and five. | 1507.2779 |
1055 | | 1507.8002 | [Three years and then five years.] | 1509.5208 |
1056 | DCB_int_01 | 1507.8095 | [Oh, and then five years.] So see, | 1509.7539 |
1057 | | 1510.2657 | yes. You messed that all up because now you were the new [baby and you know] [you-] | 1514.4716 |
1058 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 1513.4598 | [Uh-huh.] | 1513.9867 |
1060 | | 1514.2664 | [But my] grandma say all the time like, I was like, the godsend. Like I'm the one that kind of got my uncles off the streets and stuff and | 1520.5669 |
1061 | | 1520.7814 | stuff like that. | 1521.6580 |
1063 | | 1522.0077 | Yep. | 1522.2922 |
1064 | DCB_int_01 | 1523.1268 | So do y'all still do like- | 1524.3147 |
1066 | | 1524.5199 | Do y'all do big family gatherings? Do y'all do Sunday dinner? | 1527.5788 |
1067 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 1528.0311 | We don't do Sunday dinner, | 1529.6351 |
1069 | | 1529.8216 | but we're very close. Um, | 1532.0447 |
1071 | | 1532.8187 | the boys are like mama's boys, | 1534.6232 |
1073 | | 1535.0289 | and so our family is small. So it's just my uncles, | 1537.5411 |
1075 | | 1537.9141 | my mom, and that's kind of it. It was my grandparents- We got with the family, but we also did stuff just in our immediate family. | 1542.8929 |
1077 | | 1543.2660 | But we get together, like we have to see each other, like at least once out the week. | 1547.2621 |
1079 | | 1547.5045 | So we don't go like, weeks without seeing each other. | 1549.5784 |
1081 | | 1549.9328 | Not Sunday dinner almost, but if it's like a gathering at the house, fight parties, football season, | 1554.8288 |
1083 | | 1555.6297 | /we like/. | 1556.2032 |

1086 | DCB_int_01 | 1560.6784 | Oh. Well yeah, no. I wasn't gonna talk [about them] cause I'm not a big football person. But did y'all do something big for them? | 1564.9056 |
1087 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 1562.1731 | [Oh, no.] | 1562.6301 |
1088 | | 1564.9429 | Mm-hm. | 1565.3486 |

1105 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 1579.2406 | [Well they did], | 1580.2944 |
1106 | | 1580.5089 | but you know I was out of the country. | 1582.3880 |
1108 | | 1583.0222 | during Pacquiao Mayweather fight /night/. | 1584.8582 |
1109 | DCB_int_01 | 1585.0121 | No I didn't know that. Where were you? | 1586.2431 |
1110 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 1586.4016 | I was on a cruise. | 1587.5720 |
1111 | DCB_int_01 | 1588.4859 | Was that that [time?] | 1589.3766 |
1112 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 1588.9662 | [That's my] twenty fifth birthday. Mm-hm. | 1590.7743 |
1113 | DCB_int_01 | 1591.2592 | How was [that?] | 1591.9400 |
1114 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 1591.5064 | [And so they] did. It was amazing. | 1592.9052 |
1115 | DCB_int_01 | 1593.6326 | Cause you haven't told me about it so this is a- as good a [time as any] to talk about it. | 1596.6728 |
1116 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 1595.4558 | [<laugh>] | 1596.0807 |
1117 | | 1597.2266 | [<laugh>] | 1598.2198 |
1118 | DCB_int_01 | 1597.7581 | [Tell me.] It was what? A week long? | 1599.5627 |
1119 | | 1600.1176 | Not [five- It was like f-] | 1601.2180 |
1120 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 1600.3274 | [It was a- It was a week] long but I stayed in Miami a extra two days. So I was gone like a total of nine days. | 1605.5487 |
1121 | | 1605.8145 | And so even though I've traveled- Like my grandparents made sure I traveled since the age of three- | 1609.6136 |
1123 | | 1610.1638 | Um, this was my first trip without | 1613.2320 |
1125 | | 1613.9594 | any | 1614.4630 |
1127 | | 1614.7568 | older people essentially. It was just like, me and my boyfriend. | 1616.9565 |
1129 | | 1617.9590 | And so that was- It was a different experience. [It was great.] | 1620.3091 |
1130 | DCB_int_01 | 1619.5351 | [Were you ratchet?] | 1620.3231 |
1131 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 1621.0634 | No, wasn't ratchet. | 1622.6314 |
1132 | DCB_int_01 | 1622.6721 | Borderline ratchet? | 1623.6886 |
1133 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 1624.2948 | /What about/ borderline [ratchet- Maybe. /This is/-] | 1626.6868 |
1134 | DCB_int_01 | 1625.1574 | [/I mean/, it's okay, /RD-NAME-3/. You can be borderline] [ratchet.] | 1627.3617 |
1135 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 1627.1287 | [Maybe] just a little bit, but no, not really. I had a good time. It was amazing. | 1630.9009 |
1136 | DCB_int_01 | 1632.0340 | That is like, not detailed at all. That is very much | 1635.0871 |
1137 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 1635.2130 | [<laugh>] | 1638.4630 |
1138 | DCB_int_01 | 1635.9824 | [like no details. Okay, like what did y'all do? What] did y'all eat? | 1638.9153 |
1139 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 1639.5903 | <laugh> [So you know] cruises all you can eat, so I thought I put on a extra pound, so um, | 1645.0505 |
1140 | DCB_int_01 | 1640.6861 | [Where'd y'all go?] | 1641.2643 |
1141 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 1646.1592 | we did that- But then we also, when we went to | 1649.0715 |
1143 | | 1649.2631 | Antigua | 1650.6530 |
1145 | | 1652.1965 | we were kind of adventurous. We kind of like, um, met up with a local. | 1656.1646 |
1147 | | 1656.3325 | He was our taxi driver, | 1657.6556 |
1149 | | 1658.1219 | but he took us to his neighborhood | 1659.7212 |
1151 | | 1660.0476 | to really show us. | 1661.2320 |
1152 | DCB_int_01 | 1661.7403 | Like, what did- [The non] touristy part? | 1663.7442 |
1153 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 1662.2905 | [/No/.] | 1662.9713 |
1155 | | 1663.7115 | Yeah. <laugh> [And we had a great time.] He cooked for- They cooked for us. | 1667.2134 |
1156 | DCB_int_01 | 1664.8679 | [How was that?] | 1665.5580 |
1157 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 1667.4605 | And it was t- | 1668.1693 |
1159 | | 1668.7230 | It was the weirdest most funnest thing ever. | 1670.7560 |
1160 | DCB_int_01 | 1671.3715 | But 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 it | 1676.8166 |
1161 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 1673.4558 | [<laugh>] | 1673.8335 |
1162 | DCB_int_01 | 1677.1197 | because 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 | | 1683.5067 | How did that feel- And what do you feel- Like what did you get from that experience? | 1686.9573 |
1165 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 1687.7395 | I felt like- Once going into | 1690.0057 |
1167 | | 1690.3227 | his um, | 1691.2973 |
1169 | | 1691.7589 | neighborhood, it felt like home essentially because | 1694.8213 |
1171 | | 1695.1617 | even 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 | | 1700.0099 | the neighborhood stuff. | 1700.9658 |
1175 | | 1701.2410 | But 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 parts | 1708.7331 |
1177 | | 1709.1714 | in Antigua. | 1710.0294 |
1179 | | 1710.3138 | But it was fun. The fact that he like opened his home | 1712.8957 |
1181 | | 1713.3010 | to us, it was, aw, that's nice. | 1715.1911 |
1183 | | 1715.7903 | Food was great. | 1716.6142 |
1185 | | 1717.3097 | My boyfriend didn't want to share cause they kind of made us like one whole bowl, | 1720.4730 |
1187 | | 1720.6492 | and he kind of like, took over. | 1721.9048 |
1189 | | 1722.2661 | But it was good. It was like rice and fish and like, you know, they make their juice theirself. | 1726.4598 |
1191 | | 1726.6800 | Like, from the fruit. | 1727.5480 |
1192 | DCB_int_01 | 1728.8911 | So your stuff was fresh. | 1730.0498 |
1193 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 1730.0542 | Yes, and it was delicious! | 1731.6227 |
1194 | DCB_int_01 | 1731.6183 | Like from the tree. | 1732.4465 |
1195 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 1732.6051 | [Yes. Right there. Right- They did it right there. Yep.] | 1735.7943 |
1196 | DCB_int_01 | 1732.7197 | [Right. So they picked it right /where you were s-/] | 1735.3411 |
1197 | | 1736.8649 | So- | 1737.2570 |
1198 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 1737.2658 | But we shouldn't- | 1737.8209 |
1200 | | 1738.1161 | It was dangerous, I will admit | 1740.1736 |
1202 | | 1740.5965 | in 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 |
1203 | DCB_int_01 | 1743.3143 | [/I didn't even want say it like that/. I wouldn't want to judge you.] | 1745.1911 |
1204 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 1745.5920 | But it didn't happen. | 1746.9043 |
1206 | | 1747.3845 | Thank 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 |
1207 | DCB_int_01 | 1753.7546 | [I'm'a do a] side note. | 1754.7768 |
1208 | | 1755.0015 | So when Rhonice and Veronica | 1756.6889 |
1210 | | 1756.9312 | went in the neighborhood to find her phone, | 1759.1032 |
1211 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 1760.0322 | [<laugh>] | 1760.4772 |
1212 | DCB_int_01 | 1760.0762 | [that was] problematic [for me.] | 1761.6315 |
1213 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 1761.2173 | [The- the-] They're kids.] | 1762.8915 |
1214 | | 1763.8035 | And so even though I should know better, I- | 1765.0327 |
1216 | | 1765.2700 | I just don't want | 1765.8472 |
1218 | | 1765.9837 | to put them out there like that, but | 1767.6932 |
1220 | | 1767.8870 | for me, yeah. [/But I think-/] | 1769.0810 |
1221 | DCB_int_01 | 1768.6668 | [No, no. But did you talk to them?] | 1770.4159 |
1222 | | 1770.6224 | Because 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 |
1223 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 1773.5081 | [<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 | | 1781.5436 | oh y'all want to go see da da da da da? | 1782.9534 |
1227 | DCB_int_01 | 1784.4772 | But did you | 1784.8957 |
1229 | | 1785.1601 | talk to them and tell them that that's not a good [idea? In your loving, sisterly way?] | 1789.3015 |
1230 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 1786.7814 | [Yeah we did. Mm- Yeah. /I d-/ Uh-huh.] All the time. [Yeah.] | 1790.1556 |
1231 | DCB_int_01 | 1789.9044 | [Because] that's not- | 1790.5917 |
1232 | | 1790.7591 | That's not a good idea. | 1791.6976 |
1233 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 1791.6491 | Right, I [talked to- Cause I told 'em that-] | 1793.1426 |
1234 | DCB_int_01 | 1792.0060 | When they [came over /?/, we were like], what? | 1793.5304 |
1235 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 1793.6757 | I told 'em not to go. I told 'em to go to the police station. | 1796.2260 |
1236 | DCB_int_01 | 1796.3450 | Yes, but she's like, well I got my phone back. | 1798.5347 |
1237 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 1798.9708 | Mm-hm. | 1799.4114 |
1238 | DCB_int_01 | 1799.4158 | Um, | 1800.1119 |
1240 | | 1800.4329 | yeah, but you could have got jacked up. | 1801.8736 |
1241 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 1801.8251 | Yep. | 1802.1291 |
1242 | | 1802.5212 | Which was probably all Rhonice. | 1803.8782 |
1243 | DCB_int_01 | 1804.5611 | Really? | 1805.0766 |
1244 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 1805.1471 | Yes. | 1805.7462 |
1246 | | 1806.9704 | Yes. <ts> | 1808.0146 |
1248 | | 1808.8384 | [Yes.] | 1809.3804 |
1249 | DCB_int_01 | 1809.1513 | [I thought] she was the more [sensical one.] | 1811.1779 |
1250 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 1810.4730 | [N- N-] No. Rhonice is off the chain. | 1812.7948 |
1251 | | 1813.2083 | Off the chain. | 1814.4023 |
1253 | | 1814.7944 | Off the chain. | 1815.4464 |
1254 | DCB_int_01 | 1815.5566 | So how do you think she gonna do in college? | 1817.2396 |
1256 | | 1819.0761 | Is it gonna humble her or is it gonna like, just really take her to another level of off the chainness? | 1823.1603 |
1257 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 1824.0326 | I really don't know cause I feel like she gonna get more freedom. | 1826.1379 |
1258 | DCB_int_01 | 1826.5653 | Mm-hm. | 1826.9089 |
1260 | | 1827.1248 | But sometimes freedom is- [is-] | 1828.6360 |
1261 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 1828.5170 | [No.] So I feel like she's gonna do more. | 1830.8653 |
1262 | | 1831.5652 | She 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 | | 1838.1115 | And so I feel like now when she get away, | 1840.0809 |
1266 | | 1841.1867 | she might- | 1841.8035 |
1267 | DCB_int_01 | 1841.8520 | Well 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 |
1270 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 1844.8473 | [/You don't want/- It c- /calms/ you down?] | 1846.8078 |
1271 | DCB_int_01 | 1850.6754 | and think you getting away with something. | 1852.1425 |
1273 | | 1852.3672 | Now that you can do it, it's like, eh. | 1854.0811 |
1275 | | 1854.6488 | Do you see what I'm saying? | 1855.4903 |
1276 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 1855.5432 | Yeah. | 1856.0322 |
1278 | | 1856.4507 | But I think I was that way around when I went to school. | 1858.6051 |
1279 | DCB_int_01 | 1858.7770 | Oh no. See for me like, when I was able to do something, I was like, eh. | 1861.4594 |
1281 | | 1862.0939 | I don't know. But I was also a [very letter to the law kind of girl.] | 1864.6184 |
1282 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 1863.0235 | [But I think she'll do- I think she'll] do fine. I know she's nervous. It's funny cause we just had this conversation | 1867.6885 |
1283 | | 1868.0454 | over dinner last night. She's kind of nervous um, | 1871.1250 |
1285 | | 1871.5127 | to make that transition. | 1872.9748 |
1287 | | 1873.4393 | She just like, hope she do well. [And-] | 1875.4723 |
1288 | DCB_int_01 | 1875.2997 | [Did you] tell her that you went to the cornfields and [you was good?] | 1877.6592 |
1289 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 1877.0157 | [Mm-hm.] Mm-hm. | 1878.0555 |
1290 | DCB_int_01 | 1878.0369 | Okay. | 1878.4146 |
1291 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 1878.4787 | So she should be fine, but I'm tryna get her to | 1880.3812 |
1293 | | 1881.0293 | get out of just DC, so like she- | 1883.2908 |
1295 | | 1883.5333 | Nothing wrong with her being in a group chat, but /they- have like-/ the DMV | 1886.6260 |
1297 | | 1886.9920 | Linked-In group chat. | 1888.1484 |
1299 | | 1888.6147 | I'm like, | 1888.9271 |
1301 | | 1889.1696 | get to know all the other people too. | 1891.1500 |
1302 | DCB_int_01 | 1891.9055 | Oh, are- the people from the school, they already in a group chat. | 1894.6660 |
1304 | | 1894.8991 | [Oh because /they went up] this/- | 1895.8970 |
1305 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 1895.1369 | [DMV] | 1895.6778 |
1306 | | 1896.1150 | [/They've met/] everybody from DC and Northern Virginia. | 1898.3625 |
1307 | DCB_int_01 | 1896.1989 | [/Mm-hm/.] | 1896.6186 |
1308 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 1898.9081 | So like she want to room with somebody from DC? No. Get to know other people. | 1902.6850 |
1309 | DCB_int_01 | 1902.8284 | Right, like, | 1903.5512 |
1310 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 1903.9289 | The [world's bigger than DC.] Yeah! | 1906.7313 |
1311 | DCB_int_01 | 1904.1573 | [somebody from Iowa.] | 1905.5469 |
1312 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 1907.1509 | So. | 1907.5286 |
1314 | | 1908.2316 | /That's [what-]/ | 1908.6372 |
1315 | DCB_int_01 | 1908.4600 | [But I] asked you the question about- I know we got off on /RD-NAME-2/ then, but | 1911.5982 |
1316 | | 1911.9153 | that was a little crazy. [I thought] that was just | 1913.7991 |
1317 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 1912.9084 | [Oh.] | 1913.1929 |
1319 | | 1913.7478 | [<laugh> So crazy.] | 1914.7771 |
1320 | DCB_int_01 | 1914.1721 | [ridiculous.] | 1915.1688 |
1321 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 1914.9916 | Mm-hm. | 1915.6304 |
1322 | DCB_int_01 | 1915.6910 | Um, but I asked you about that because I think about- | 1918.2929 |
1324 | | 1920.6745 | like you said, people come to DC, | 1922.2133 |
1326 | | 1922.4231 | and you show 'em the monuments. And there- There is no life outside of like that [six block radius.] | 1927.4819 |
1327 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 1926.1861 | [Right. Yes.] | 1927.8729 |
1328 | DCB_int_01 | 1927.9848 | And so what do you feel- How do you feel | 1930.2463 |
1330 | | 1930.9877 | as a local, do you take advantage of the touristy stuff, and then do you try to give your touristy | 1935.9621 |
1332 | | 1936.1031 | people- Do you feel like you try to give them a local experience, and what would the local experience be? | 1940.6842 |
1334 | | 1940.9920 | Or the native [experience?] | 1942.3349 |
1335 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 1942.0551 | [So it's] crazy because (laughing) | 1944.0648 |
1336 | | 1944.7538 | I've never been | 1945.6957 |
1338 | | 1945.8729 | into the touristy stuff. Like, I probably never been- I've probably been outside the White House, but that was- | 1950.4255 |
1340 | | 1950.5484 | in 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 | | 1956.5859 | Probably just on field trips. | 1957.9522 |
1344 | | 1958.4744 | But | 1959.2904 |
1346 | | 1959.5376 | um, | 1960.2323 |
1348 | | 1960.4328 | when I wen- a- went away to school, | 1962.1208 |
1350 | | 1962.3073 | and like, | 1962.7072 |
1352 | | 1962.8704 | all of my friends was from like DC. My boyfriend was from | 1966.1487 |
1354 | | 1966.3163 | Ohio. | 1966.9513 |
1356 | | 1967.0236 | Some of my friends from DC, but all my sorority sisters from different places. | 1969.5232 |
1358 | | 1969.8869 | So we would alternate like where we would go. | 1971.7427 |
1360 | | 1972.0971 | So when I would bring them here, | 1973.4773 |
1362 | | 1974.1348 | they got to know | 1975.0476 |
1364 | | 1975.1735 | DC outside of the /monuminutes/, | 1976.5304 |
1366 | | 1976.8474 | and they fell in love with it. So it became, oh, I'm going to DC spring break, or I'm going to DC | 1981.0942 |
1368 | | 1981.3926 | for Christmas. I'm going to DC for Thanksgiving. | 1983.2438 |
1370 | | 1983.5236 | And so, If they came here, | 1985.2488 |
1372 | | 1985.7466 | th- | 1985.8399 |
1374 | | 1986.9543 | Towards my freshman year it was | 1988.3858 |
1376 | | 1988.6656 | going to the go go and stuff like that. | 1990.5634 |
1378 | | 1991.0204 | So I took a few of them to the go go. I had to make sure they all had Mumbo sauce. | 1995.0946 |
1380 | | 1995.5469 | And 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 Ohio | 2001.4163 |
1382 | | 2001.9572 | and stuff like that. But coming here was go go, | 2004.0509 |
1384 | | 2004.2840 | Mumbo sauce. | 2005.3740 |
1386 | | 2005.7004 | I let them get the experience of the train. | 2007.7754 |
1388 | | 2009.1649 | /And those things/. | 2010.0042 |
1389 | DCB_int_01 | 2010.6419 | So, | 2011.3134 |
1391 | | 2011.8916 | do you feel like- | 2013.4396 |
1393 | | 2014.5494 | do you feel like you too loc- Like, why haven't you done the monuments? | 2017.9242 |
1395 | | 2019.0480 | And not to say- I mean, cause some- Like there are things in my hometown that I haven't done. | 2022.9823 |
1396 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 2022.9823 | I mean I don't know. I'm not gonna say I'm not a history | 2025.3692 |
1397 | | 2025.5499 | person. That type of stuff | 2026.6800 |
1399 | | 2027.0716 | <laugh> [it- it is-] Mm-hm. Not at all. | 2029.9428 |
1400 | DCB_int_01 | 2027.5426 | [It doesn't interest you.] | 2028.6011 |
1401 | | 2030.1527 | Have you been to [MFA?] | 2031.2624 |
1402 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 2030.6563 | [Would I do it] now? | 2031.8680 |
1403 | | 2032.0162 | I will, but if I do it now, I want to do it more like a- | 2034.2362 |
1405 | | 2034.4134 | a romance /??/. Like, oh, let's go visit the monument, eat. [Let's-] | 2038.1717 |

1481 | | 2133.4350 | way more to like,-then just the touristy stuff. So when you say like, letting 'em know there's stuff outside of that. Cause I think that sometimes | 2139.1412 |
1483 | | 2139.6308 | people just see that so- | 2141.1463 |
1485 | | 2141.4214 | What I'm referencing is to- when I went to Egypt- | 2143.6771 |
1487 | | 2144.1620 | you know when you think of Africa, like, you think like, poverty, | 2147.2815 |

1493 | | 2151.1878 | opposite | 2152.1204 |
1495 | | 2152.4748 | from- like they had McDonalds delivered on motorcycles. That's better than | 2155.4812 |
1497 | | 2156.0175 | our McDonalds. But you don't see that stuff. You just see like, | 2158.0365 |
1499 | | 2158.3256 | oh kids just gonna be begging you for stuff, and it wasn't like that at- like, | 2161.4253 |

1504 | DCB_int_01 | 2163.6215 | [Did you ride a camel?] | 2164.7126 |
1505 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 2165.0810 | I did ride the camel. [Climbed] the pyramids. | 2168.1620 |
1506 | DCB_int_01 | 2166.5207 | [/I love it/.] | 2167.0723 |
1507 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 2168.5164 | Did the cruise down the Nile. | 2170.2976 |
1508 | DCB_int_01 | 2170.7825 | I love it! When did you go to Egypt? | 2172.8575 |
1509 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 2172.9030 | That was my sweet sixteen gift. | 2174.4324 |
1511 | | 2175.7351 | [<laugh>] | 2180.8894 |
1512 | DCB_int_01 | 2176.0085 | [Oh yeah, you could see the little bougie-] | 2177.7944 |
1514 | | 2180.2086 | [I'm not mad.] | 2181.0573 |
1515 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 2181.5003 | Really- [<laugh>] | 2187.8919 |
1516 | DCB_int_01 | 2182.4049 | [I'm not- But you know- Because I- My graduation gift from my parents- My dad's from Ghana. So, that's where I went.] | 2187.5609 |
1517 | | 2188.5261 | I was in Ghana for two w- Like, so [I understand that. I'm not mad.] | 2191.5232 |
1518 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 2190.2607 | [So, I'm not gonna say] it like, it was just random sweet sixteen. But um, | 2194.1857 |
1519 | | 2194.6940 | /RD-SCHOOL-3/, | 2195.4214 |
1521 | | 2195.8550 | because it was a great school- Not taking away fro- /RD-SCHOOL-3/ was a great school, so they had | 2199.4303 |
1523 | | 2199.7241 | a program called Club Japan, where every year they would go to a different part | 2202.8809 |
1525 | | 2203.4859 | [/of ??/.] | 2203.9848 |
1526 | DCB_int_01 | 2203.4952 | [Mm-hm.] | 2203.8542 |
1527 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 2204.5677 | And then Club Afrique, | 2205.9269 |
1529 | | 2206.0643 | where they would go to a different part of Africa. | 2207.4167 |
1531 | | 2207.8923 | When I decided to join Club Afrique, they was going to Egypt, and it was around my sixteenth | 2212.0225 |
1533 | | 2212.3536 | birthday. So my granddad was like, that's going to be your sweet sixteen, like | 2215.1828 |
1535 | | 2215.8123 | what better way can you do that? | 2217.0666 |
1537 | | 2218.3489 | And so again, | 2219.3001 |
1539 | | 2219.9716 | I don't want to say people hated me, but | 2221.6071 |
1541 | | 2222.6050 | <ts> um, | 2223.2671 |
1543 | | 2223.5609 | like people had to like, fundraise and stuff to go. Oh I'm sorry. | 2226.9904 |
1545 | | 2227.3085 | people had to fundraise and stuff to go. | 2229.8593 |
1546 | DCB_int_01 | 2230.2929 | And they was just like, let's write a check. | 2231.7105 |
1548 | | 2232.9496 | So do you feel like your grandparents were rich? | 2234.8335 |
1549 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 2235.5982 | To me that's what I felt like. And then it was just like, | 2237.6685 |
1551 | | 2237.8912 | Oh you going to Egypt. You got to have the | 2239.3040 |
1553 | | 2239.4626 | mo- the top of the line phone that's gonna work. | 2241.7567 |
1555 | | 2242.0132 | And this happened when razors had just came out, and it was like, Oh we're gonna get you the pink razor. | 2245.9593 |
1557 | | 2246.3765 | Cause I got to talk to you every day, | 2247.6215 |
1559 | | 2247.9899 | every minute. And it became a thing to where everybody else didn't have a phone, so it was kind of like, they was paying me- | 2251.9721 |
1561 | | 2252.1059 | to use my phone, like per minute. | 2253.5049 |
1562 | DCB_int_01 | 2253.9625 | <laugh> | 2254.7435 |
1564 | | 2254.8851 | Boy, you [became like, the nine eight]- the- | 2256.4845 |
1565 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 2255.2171 | [<laugh>] | 2256.1101 |
1566 | DCB_int_01 | 2256.8191 | [the nine hundred number? /What- it just- it's/ so crazy.] So do you feel like you are still | 2261.7664 |
1567 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 2256.8611 | [<laugh>] | 2259.7101 |
1568 | DCB_int_01 | 2262.2560 | like, rich? Do you feel like you- | 2264.2786 |
1569 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 2264.3299 | No, I feel like things have changed, and it's weird because | 2268.5451 |
1571 | | 2269.2387 | I feel like that's why- | 2270.7775 |
1573 | | 2270.9920 | I think that plays a part in me not driving and things like that because growing up my grandfather used to always say, | 2275.4766 |
1575 | | 2276.0314 | You'll never have to drive, ever in your life. Like you're gonna be chauffeured everywhere you go. | 2279.7431 |
1577 | | 2279.9716 | Um, | 2280.6757 |
1579 | | 2281.1222 | I'm'a take you to school tomorrow. Even high school, like, I couldn't get a job my senior year. Like, he just didn't want that. | 2286.2840 |
1581 | | 2286.6372 | Like, your only job is | 2288.4698 |
1583 | | 2288.9967 | education. So I feel like, | 2290.2277 |
1585 | | 2290.6986 | once he passed away in two thousand and eight, | 2292.7496 |
1587 | | 2292.8581 | it was just like, | 2293.5651 |
1589 | | 2294.3951 | Daddy wasn't gonna be around forever. And I didn't think about that. | 2297.0343 |
1590 | DCB_int_01 | 2297.4820 | [Mm.] | 2297.9902 |
1591 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 2297.8504 | [And] so it became real life. | 2299.6957 |
1592 | | 2300.8941 | And so, my grandfather was definitely the bread winner, | 2304.2514 |
1594 | | 2304.4472 | and so um, | 2305.8216 |
1596 | | 2306.5537 | things changed. I was always getting everything I wanted. | 2308.7919 |
1598 | | 2309.1929 | Even though my grandmother spoiled me, it wasn't like how my | 2311.6537 |
1600 | | 2311.9848 | dad did. | 2312.7589 |
1601 | DCB_int_01 | 2312.9547 | She spoiled in you different ways- He spoiled you because he had the financial means. [She-] | 2316.6559 |
1602 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 2316.3341 | [No] /and love/, so like even [our-] | 2318.5910 |
1603 | DCB_int_01 | 2318.1387 | [Right, but I'm] saying but hers- She does not necessarily have the means to back it up to do the- [the financial part.] | 2323.1280 |
1604 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 2321.9704 | [Right, but she did.] She did, | 2324.0594 |
1605 | | 2324.4977 | but | 2325.0480 |
1607 | | 2325.5655 | it was just more so him. | 2326.6660 |
1609 | | 2326.9131 | But my grandma did too. | 2327.9483 |
1611 | | 2328.6093 | It's just that now, | 2329.7145 |
1613 | | 2329.7724 | it became like- | 2330.8801 |
1614 | DCB_int_01 | 2331.4583 | Are you more [independent or you feel] like you're still financially dependent on- | 2334.5265 |
1615 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 2332.2650 | [It's just-] | 2332.6846 |
1616 | | 2336.4278 | I'm more financially independent in a sense, but as far as like, living on my own? No. | 2340.2001 |
1618 | | 2340.4694 | But I'm | 2340.7258 |
1620 | | 2340.9310 | about to move out on my own [but like, my grandma- I still-] | 2343.7474 |
1621 | DCB_int_01 | 2342.4464 | [So you still living at your childhood] house? [You still live in your-] | 2345.1229 |
1622 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 2344.1904 | [No. I live] in- I live up the street now. So I live with my grandma but I don't pay like, | 2348.5024 |
1623 | | 2349.3464 | rent and stuff. I just started paying my phone bill, that type of stuff. So I'm getting | 2352.9182 |
1625 | | 2353.7563 | settled financially. | 2354.8428 |
1626 | DCB_int_01 | 2355.3837 | /RD-NAME-3/, you are not financially independent, boo. | 2357.3747 |
1627 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 2357.3887 | I know. That's [/crazy. Um-/] | 2358.8797 |
1628 | DCB_int_01 | 2358.1616 | [But that's okay.] | 2359.0849 |
1629 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 2359.2994 | [<laugh>] /Minnie?/ | 2360.2086 |
1630 | DCB_int_01 | 2359.3087 | [Look, let me] find [somebody.] | 2361.1226 |
1631 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 2360.6796 | [But that's what] I'm working towards, and so I'm tryna get it. Like, that was my- I said /for-, it's/ my twenty fifth birthday, that year | 2365.6304 |
1632 | | 2365.9428 | [it was going to be] for me to get my own place, get on my own. So I was like, okay. | 2368.9970 |
1633 | DCB_int_01 | 2366.0268 | [/Mm-hm/.] | 2366.3625 |
1634 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 2369.5286 | Get off your phone- I got off her phone bill. | 2371.2900 |
1636 | | 2372.2832 | And you know that was a bit for me like, | 2373.7287 |
1638 | | 2373.9992 | sheesh. This stuff ain't no joke. | 2375.5819 |
1639 | DCB_int_01 | 2375.6918 | It's expensive. Cause your money come in, [and then it go out and you] be like, [Wait!] | 2379.1552 |
1640 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 2377.7750 | [Yeah.] | 2378.5210 |
1642 | | 2378.8288 | [But even] like, college, like I didn't have to work. Like, it was just call home. Send me money. | 2383.1875 |
1643 | | 2384.5630 | [/Unintelligible/] | 2385.0619 |
1644 | DCB_int_01 | 2384.8335 | [Mm], I need the phone number you was calling. | 2386.7779 |
1645 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 2386.9178 | I had two phones. | 2388.4938 |
1646 | DCB_int_01 | 2392.1064 | Like two phone numbers? | 2393.1183 |
1647 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 2393.1183 | Yep. | 2393.3514 |
1648 | DCB_int_01 | 2393.4214 | For [what?] | 2393.8550 |
1649 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 2393.6359 | [I had] a H- Ohio number and DC number. | 2395.5885 |
1650 | DCB_int_01 | 2396.3159 | Oh okay. | 2396.8335 |
1652 | | 2397.0386 | Cause just in case those in DC need to call you locally, they could | 2399.7947 |
1654 | | 2399.8981 | ring you up. | 2400.6934 |
1655 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 2400.9730 | [Mm-hm. And then- And then like- And then] the- It seemed like T Mobile had better service there, but I wasn't ready to let go of like, | 2407.1688 |
1656 | DCB_int_01 | 2401.3460 | [And if your Ohio friends-] | 2402.7915 |
1657 | | 2407.5449 | [<laugh>] | 2408.4885 |
1658 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 2407.9708 | [DC.] | 2408.5537 |
1659 | DCB_int_01 | 2408.5304 | So you need to have your [two phones. I underst-] | 2410.6380 |
1660 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 2409.5236 | [Yeah. /I needed 'em/.] | 2410.6380 |
1661 | DCB_int_01 | 2410.8851 | You know what I'm not gonna be mad at that. I understand cause at- in one point in college, I did too. | 2414.6889 |
1663 | | 2414.9780 | Because I was not sure if I wanted to switch to T Mobile. | 2417.4447 |
1664 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 2417.4820 | [Mm-hm.] | 2417.9669 |
1665 | DCB_int_01 | 2417.7431 | [So I] had my T Mobile number's like four four four something. And then I had my | 2421.9526 |
1666 | | 2422.2323 | eight three four number | 2423.4167 |
1668 | | 2423.5939 | cause I was like, well, maybe I don't want to go from A [T and T.] | 2426.0594 |
1669 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 2425.4346 | [Uh-huh.] | 2425.8822 |
1670 | DCB_int_01 | 2426.4837 | It was a whole big thing, [so I understand that sys- /??/.] | 2428.6706 |
1671 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 2427.1832 | [That's- But sometimes I] feel like being in school you kind of get handed things. And I think some people think it's a good thing, but I think | 2433.1365 |
1672 | | 2433.3137 | it's like a bad thing too. | 2434.8432 |
1673 | DCB_int_01 | 2434.9038 | Why? | 2435.2535 |
1674 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 2436.0928 | Because like, I became so like, into thinking that everything was supposed to happen- happen [my way], and it even plays a role in my relationships. | 2443.1047 |
1675 | DCB_int_01 | 2439.8766 | [Mm.] | 2440.8383 |
1676 | | 2443.8076 | [Mm.] | 2445.1785 |
1677 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 2444.7868 | [Like] you are really spoiled. Like you really think that everything /had to happen- You're like, that's/ not my way, it's just like- | 2449.5560 |
1678 | DCB_int_01 | 2450.6236 | It's not gonna be anyway. | 2451.5282 |
1679 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 2451.5702 | Anyway. | 2452.0505 |
1681 | | 2452.6147 | And then so when I met my boyfriend in Ohio, he kind of like, shift things like, | 2455.9755 |
1683 | | 2456.4418 | Well I might not can always be around. | 2458.0344 |
1685 | | 2458.1826 | You gonna have to learn how to do this, and do that, do this, do- So, he kind of told me like, | 2461.1500 |
1687 | | 2461.4299 | how to do this, how to do this. | 2462.8381 |
1689 | | 2463.5329 | Cause he was | 2464.2929 |
1691 | | 2464.6100 | independent. | 2465.4447 |
1693 | | 2466.2036 | Like he had to go out and get everything on his own, work. | 2469.2531 |
1694 | DCB_int_01 | 2469.8500 | I'm giving you a hard time, but I'm spoiled too. So I also had to [learn that lesson.] | 2473.2781 |
1695 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 2472.3808 | [<laugh> It very- It really is.] | 2475.6028 |
1696 | DCB_int_01 | 2473.4952 | [And it's a hard lesson! And-] | 2476.1859 |
1697 | | 2476.2979 | um, | 2476.8294 |
1699 | | 2476.8800 | my mom always wanted a girl, and then my brother- We're seven years apart. | 2480.0781 |
1700 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 2480.0827 | Mm-hm. | 2480.4464 |
1701 | DCB_int_01 | 2480.7822 | And- | 2481.3883 |
1702 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 2481.3930 | You younger, he- | 2482.2230 |
1703 | DCB_int_01 | 2482.1950 | I'm the [young- Uh-huh, I'm] the baby. | 2483.5846 |
1704 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 2482.7686 | [Okay.] | 2483.1602 |
1705 | | 2483.6312 | Okay. | 2484.0369 |
1706 | DCB_int_01 | 2484.2514 | And | 2485.1885 |
1708 | | 2485.3186 | um, so, when we went to church- Had all the church ladies [were like], | 2488.8898 |
1709 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 2488.2556 | [Uh-huh.] | 2488.7033 |
1710 | DCB_int_01 | 2489.2442 | you know- | 2489.7571 |
1712 | | 2490.2141 | They- | 2490.5654 |
1714 | | 2490.6485 | Mimi, 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 |
1715 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 2495.2115 | [Mm-hm.] | 2495.7338 |
1716 | DCB_int_01 | 2500.3069 | Like, 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 |
1717 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 2504.6516 | [Uh-huh.] | 2505.2438 |
1718 | DCB_int_01 | 2505.5842 | And she had just moved | 2506.7686 |
1720 | | 2506.9737 | by herself, so I underst- It was very [hard for me] to get older | 2510.5164 |
1721 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 2509.0009 | [Mm-mm.] | 2509.6351 |
1722 | DCB_int_01 | 2510.7635 | and realize, look, everything [is not gonna be your way.] | 2513.2255 |
1723 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 2512.1391 | [Not gonna be handed] to you. Mm-mm. | 2514.3353 |
1724 | DCB_int_01 | 2514.4321 | And we weren't rich by any means, but my mom made a lot of sacrifices so I could [go to Africa and-] | 2520.0555 |
1725 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 2518.8618 | [And it made people hate me.] Even- [/People/.] Cause I was- I don't feel like I was like- | 2523.3790 |
1726 | DCB_int_01 | 2520.5626 | [Mm-hm.] | 2521.0149 |
1727 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 2523.6961 | I'm always been like the compassionate type person, very people person, | 2526.8611 |
1729 | | 2527.1968 | but 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 | | 2531.9063 | So like, if school lunch was like, | 2534.2496 |
1733 | | 2534.3545 | nasty or if my grandpa didn't want me to eat the school lunch, he would come like, | 2537.4540 |
1735 | | 2537.9156 | bring me like, | 2538.3049 |
1737 | | 2538.5182 | Chinese [food. <laugh>] | 2542.0350 |
1738 | DCB_int_01 | 2539.3818 | [That's what my mom would do! ] | 2540.6827 |
1739 | | 2542.2576 | So then I had to start eating in the office. [Like I couldn't even eat in the cafeteria.] | 2545.8388 |
1740 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 2543.9689 | [Yeah. Me too. Th- Me too.] That's how it was for [me too. <laugh>] | 2547.5687 |
1741 | DCB_int_01 | 2546.7853 | [<laugh>] | 2547.3122 |
1742 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 2547.8613 | And 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 | | 2552.5755 | if people really hated it- And it's just so funny cause one guy | 2555.3767 |
1746 | | 2555.7311 | outside of school had came up to me and was like, | 2557.9507 |
1748 | | 2558.4216 | You 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 | | 2565.2143 | And another girl in my school was talking to me about him, | 2567.3161 |
1753 | | 2567.7451 | and we wasn't even friends necessarily, and I'm just like, that's weird. Uh- it's not my fault. Like, | 2571.9312 |
1755 | | 2572.6447 | heh- | 2572.9431 |
1756 | DCB_int_01 | 2573.5120 | You wished you was- They was- They was watching you. | 2575.5077 |
1757 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 2575.4984 | They was. | 2576.9299 |
1758 | DCB_int_01 | 2577.5454 | So, okay. One thing that you keep talking about I want to go back to- Cause I was gonna ask later but this is a good- And then we got off on this- all this other stuff [/about being in school/], so- You know I'm scatterbrained /RD-NAME-3/. You got to- You know I got to come back. | 2588.3004 |
1759 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 2583.7074 | [/??/ <laugh>] | 2585.5446 |
1761 | | 2586.5891 | [Oh, it's fine. I-] it's just fine. | 2588.8972 |
1762 | DCB_int_01 | 2589.0138 | Go go. | 2589.5594 |
1763 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 2590.1784 | [Yes.] | 2590.8079 |
1764 | DCB_int_01 | 2590.6773 | [Girl], are you- You've talked about like, | 2592.5798 |
1765 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 2592.6217 | [Mm-hm.] | 2593.3352 |
1766 | DCB_int_01 | 2593.0694 | [two or] three different times. Tell me, | 2594.9905 |
1767 | | 2595.4743 | first of all, how did you get introduced to go go? | 2597.6099 |
1768 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 2599.4890 | So you know go go, it stands from different age groups, so like I said, being that- my- my mom | 2604.2580 |
1770 | | 2604.5844 | and her friends, cause they were all younger of course- | 2607.3868 |
1772 | | 2607.6841 | they had their genre | 2609.0177 |
1774 | | 2609.4280 | of go go, like the bands they listened to. Like Backyard, Red Essence, EU, | 2613.7447 |
1776 | | 2614.2157 | Sugar Bears | 2614.9990 |
1778 | | 2615.3161 | and stuff like that. | 2616.1974 |
1780 | | 2616.4912 | So I was introduced | 2617.2139 |
1782 | | 2617.4051 | to it at that point, | 2618.8972 |
1784 | | 2619.1770 | and then once I started going to it became like fast paced and | 2622.4679 |
1786 | | 2622.8689 | not as slow as theirs was. And so, | 2625.0091 |
1788 | | 2625.3775 | just 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 us | 2632.1889 |
1790 | | 2632.7193 | at this place. Come see us at that place. | 2634.3746 |
1792 | | 2634.5844 | Okay. | 2635.0740 |
1794 | | 2635.1906 | And 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 |
1797 | DCB_int_01 | 2639.0783 | [How do you start] a go go band? Like just any kind of like- | 2641.4844 |
1798 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 2641.4797 | Mm-hm. | 2641.9320 |
1799 | DCB_int_01 | 2642.0766 | You [just get some] people to [sing, play the congos.] | 2644.4593 |
1800 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 2642.1791 | [Like-] | 2642.5755 |
1802 | | 2642.9625 | [Yep. Sing. Yep.] | 2644.4733 |
1803 | | 2644.6633 | Mm-hm. Come up with a name. | 2646.1181 |
1805 | | 2646.6124 | Mm-hm. | 2646.9621 |
1806 | DCB_int_01 | 2647.0973 | What's your favorite band? | 2647.9833 |
1807 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 2648.3423 | TCB. | 2649.0278 |
1808 | DCB_int_01 | 2649.5314 | TCB. | 2650.0956 |
1810 | | 2650.3556 | Why? | 2650.6400 |
1811 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 2651.9176 | Cause they older, but they got that | 2654.0113 |
1813 | | 2654.4170 | young feel. They [just-] | 2655.9231 |
1814 | DCB_int_01 | 2655.5360 | [Have you ever] seen them [perform?] | 2656.7939 |
1815 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 2656.6633 | [Mm-hm.] | 2657.0317 |
1816 | DCB_int_01 | 2657.1902 | So tell me about the first time you went to- | 2659.2979 |
1818 | | 2660.0393 | the first time you went to the go go. | 2661.6153 |
1819 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 2662.4395 | It was weird because I don't like being hot. | 2664.7989 |
1821 | | 2665.1906 | I really hate being hot, and I didn't think about no place could be so packed. | 2668.6540 |
1823 | | 2669.1389 | And you're like, | 2670.1834 |
1825 | | 2670.6963 | so close to each other. I'm talking about like, | 2672.3470 |
1827 | | 2672.7340 | you really don't want to dress dress up because people gonna step on your shoes. You have to be ready for that. | 2676.8502 |
1829 | | 2677.6522 | But 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 | | 2684.0672 | but 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 | | 2691.0231 | they like rowdy. Like, they jumping up jumping up jumping up. Like, | 2694.0622 |
1835 | | 2694.6171 | I didn't like that part of it, but | 2696.0766 |
1837 | | 2696.4636 | the music in itself. | 2697.5174 |
1839 | | 2698.2903 | [Uh-huh.] | 2698.6260 |
1840 | DCB_int_01 | 2698.3369 | [So when] you talk about- | 2699.4047 |
1841 | | 2700.9808 | when you- where were you for your first g- where- where were you | 2703.7960 |
1843 | | 2704.0152 | that was so hot, packed. I mean, and that's generally- Cause [/I've been/] | 2706.9481 |
1844 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 2706.4958 | [That's when I] was going to the um, DC Tunnel. | 2709.1350 |
1845 | DCB_int_01 | 2710.5887 | Where is that? | 2711.0457 |
1846 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 2711.3394 | Off of uh, think- I want to say Queens Chapel Road. You know where Stadium is? | 2714.9672 |
1847 | DCB_int_01 | 2715.4848 | Mm-hm. | 2716.0583 |
1848 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 2716.1457 | It's over- It's over there. It was [in the back, like a little white house.] | 2718.8572 |
1849 | DCB_int_01 | 2717.0876 | [/Oh, I go to the little bank/ over there.] | 2718.8549 |
1850 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 2718.9440 | Mm-hm. | 2719.6196 |
1851 | DCB_int_01 | 2720.4123 | Um, that's the only reason I know where that is is because I go to the Credit Un- | 2723.7964 |
1853 | | 2724.0482 | /?/- | 2724.2674 |
1854 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 2724.2347 | And then I was doing the Le Pearl, the Mad Chef. That's a | 2727.4055 |
1855 | | 2727.6340 | largo. | 2728.3241 |

1865 | | 2744.0486 | But it's different now, and I'm not into the club scene no more. | 2746.6400 |
1867 | | 2746.8918 | But I had my moments when I wanted let my hair down and I called it like, be ratchet. | 2750.7294 |
1869 | | 2750.9392 | And so like- | 2751.6992 |

1926 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 2821.2139 | And so, | 2822.1698 |
1928 | | 2822.3983 | I met /RD-NAME-2/ ninth grade. | 2823.7645 |
1930 | | 2824.5514 | /RD-NAME-2/, | 2825.3115 |
1932 | | 2825.6332 | the one that passed away is who I've known since pre K. | 2827.8341 |
1934 | | 2828.7807 | And then we just met /RD-NAME-2/, I want to say three years ago through my best friend /RD-NAME-2/. | 2833.5543 |
1936 | | 2833.9367 | And so m- It was | 2835.2843 |
1938 | | 2835.7832 | And/RD-NAME-2/ birthday- I started a mentoring program, so these are people that wanted to be mentors- | 2839.1533 |
1940 | | 2839.6149 | So I introduced them to each other, even though I had other mentors that had applied we all went to dinner together. | 2844.2907 |
1942 | | 2844.4119 | And then that's how we formed the Fab Five. | 2846.6035 |
1943 | DCB_int_01 | 2847.5396 | And how long have y'all been like, the [Fab] Five? | 2849.8477 |

1947 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 2853.0558 | /RD-NAME-2/. [The one I've known since pre K.] | 2854.6400 |
1948 | DCB_int_01 | 2853.5116 | [/That's the one in the-/] | 2854.5514 |
1949 | | 2854.8032 | in the car accident. | 2856.0389 |
1950 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 2856.0109 | Yes. | 2856.4492 |
1951 | DCB_int_01 | 2856.5471 | Can you tell me about that? | 2857.4704 |

1957 | | 2861.3954 | traumatic then you don't have to. But I just remember- | 2863.7828 |
1959 | | 2864.9578 | I remember us talking like bits and pieces [about it.] | 2867.6285 |
1960 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 2867.0177 | [Mm-hm.] | 2867.6472 |
1961 | | 2869.9180 | Talk about it in what sense? Like our friendship? How it happened? How it [affected] me? | 2873.4001 |
1962 | DCB_int_01 | 2872.7846 | [Mm-hm.] | 2873.1203 |
1963 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 2873.6332 | All that type of stuff. | 2874.3186 |
1965 | | 2874.9808 | So me and Brittany met each other in pre-K. | 2876.8167 |
1967 | | 2876.8958 | My grandfather- I guess /??/ his occupation. My grandfather was a DC fire fighter. | 2880.9341 |
1968 | DCB_int_01 | 2881.5403 | [Hm.] | 2881.6895 |
1969 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 2881.5497 | [Once] he retired he became a fire inspector. | 2883.5722 |
1970 | | 2884.3089 | And so, /RD-NAME-2/ grandma worked on the fire department. And so, once they knew that their grandkids was going to the same school. /So it was all,/ y'all have to go see each other! | 2892.2534 |
1972 | | 2892.6544 | And so me and /RD-NAME-2/ began- | 2894.1652 |
1974 | | 2894.3610 | Our every Friday ritual was to go to McDonald's and get a fish sandwich. This was every Friday. | 2898.7383 |
1976 | | 2898.8875 | And she would spend the night | 2899.7362 |
1978 | | 2900.2071 | over my house. And our communication | 2902.3987 |
1980 | | 2902.7193 | went all the way up | 2903.6472 |
1982 | | 2904.2301 | until high school | 2905.1766 |
1984 | | 2905.5263 | cause we went to the /RD-SCHOOL-4/. | 2907.0231 |
1986 | | 2907.4101 | I went to a different high school than she did | 2909.6239 |
1988 | | 2910.1368 | but then college, we kind of | 2911.7921 |
1990 | | 2912.1838 | came back in contact. | 2913.9173 |
1992 | | 2914.0851 | And then she /joined my ??/ program, | 2915.5848 |
1994 | | 2915.6446 | after I had graduated. | 2916.7943 |
1996 | | 2917.3445 | And so, um | 2918.8133 |
1998 | | 2919.6340 | when the Fab Five started it became a every weekend thing. Like, we had to do something every weekend. We was going out of town. | 2924.7014 |
2000 | | 2925.0837 | We was big on birthdays. We do it real big for each other's birthday. | 2928.6544 |
2002 | | 2928.9575 | And so um, | 2930.0579 |
2004 | | 2930.8086 | <ts> | 2931.0418 |
2006 | | 2931.7925 | in December of two thousand and thirteen, | 2934.6637 |
2008 | | 2936.1232 | let me rewind. | 2937.1397 |
2010 | | 2937.4708 | Um, | 2938.0991 |
2012 | | 2938.2810 | we all supposed to go on a cruise for Drea's twenty fifth birthday. | 2941.0461 |
2014 | | 2941.5217 | And Brittany had paid her money. We had all paid our money. | 2943.7319 |
2016 | | 2943.9685 | And then randomly, Brittany was like, | 2945.9456 |
2018 | | 2946.6077 | I'm not gonna be able to go. | 2947.7641 |
2020 | | 2948.1745 | She was like, um, | 2949.3499 |
2022 | | 2949.4446 | I got something to do | 2950.4488 |
2024 | | 2951.8570 | in December. | 2952.6917 |
2026 | | 2952.8595 | /???/ of what she had to do. | 2954.3657 |
2028 | | 2954.7676 | Uh, she was just like, I know I'm'a have something to do. | 2957.2555 |
2030 | | 2957.7218 | So I have to pull out. | 2958.7197 |
2032 | | 2958.9575 | So- But we never paid no attention to it. We were just like, | 2961.1304 |
2034 | | 2961.9126 | Okay. | 2962.3369 |
2036 | | 2963.4001 | So, December seventh, when we got the phone call- When we got the phone call, to came to us as if | 2969.0737 |
2038 | | 2969.2089 | her sister had passed away. | 2971.1999 |
2040 | | 2972.4822 | And so | 2973.3169 |
2042 | | 2973.7692 | um, | 2974.3416 |
2044 | | 2974.6400 | I called the Fab, | 2975.8430 |
2046 | | 2976.0622 | and I'm like, y'all we need to go check on Brittany. | 2977.7548 |
2048 | | 2977.9646 | I heard that her sister passed away, and we just need to go and be there for her. | 2981.2182 |
2050 | | 2982.7896 | We get to Brittany house, and um, | 2985.6992 |
2052 | | 2986.0571 | her brother like, | 2986.7939 |
2054 | | 2987.0037 | Y'all here to see Brittany? | 2987.9456 |
2056 | | 2988.0855 | We like, yeah. | 2988.8362 |
2058 | | 2989.3771 | No! On our way to- Somebody had called us back, and was like, well you know it was both of 'em. | 2992.7379 |
2060 | | 2993.6285 | So 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 | | 2999.7358 | So 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 | | 3007.4191 | We get upstairs, | 3008.5895 |
2068 | | 3009.5687 | and her grandmother come to the door, | 3011.1296 |
2070 | | 3011.4187 | and she was like, hey y'all. We like, hey, Miss /RD-NAME-1/. | 3013.7968 |
2072 | | 3014.8273 | And she's like, Brittany not here. So we like, okay, maybe she at the hospital | 3018.3612 |
2074 | | 3018.9202 | for /RD-NAME-2/. | 3019.6103 |
2076 | | 3020.0206 | And so she looked | 3020.9672 |
2078 | | 3021.2376 | different. | 3021.9744 |
2080 | | 3022.6120 | And so, | 3023.6519 |
2082 | | 3023.9643 | we c- Jelly was just like, Miss /RD-NAME-1/ are you sure? Cause we heard some things. | 3028.1842 |
2084 | | 3028.7892 | And so she called us into her living room, | 3030.8147 |
2086 | | 3030.8745 | and she told us that it was actually Brittany that had passed instead of the sister. | 3034.6307 |
2088 | | 3036.3933 | I immediately | 3037.4564 |
2090 | | 3037.8574 | left the house. | 3039.5267 |
2092 | | 3040.3323 | Um, | 3040.9291 |
2094 | | 3041.1902 | call my grandma and my mom. They had got there | 3043.4704 |
2096 | | 3043.6336 | in probably less than ten minutes. | 3045.1257 |
2098 | | 3045.6153 | And so we were all very | 3047.1156 |
2100 | | 3047.5446 | over 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 |
2101 | DCB_int_01 | 3053.5633 | Hm. | 3053.8430 |
2102 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 3054.2627 | I'm talking about like, we in pajamas. Like, | 3056.3983 |
2104 | | 3056.5475 | but 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 | | 3061.0694 | Weird. | 3061.4890 |
2108 | | 3062.3517 | And 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 | | 3065.3721 | You were the group that came to the church and we prayed over. | 3067.8761 |
2114 | | 3069.1071 | /Like that/. | 3069.8671 |
2116 | | 3070.9897 | And 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 | | 3078.5285 | and so it was hard. | 3079.7408 |
2122 | | 3080.3563 | And so, | 3081.0968 |
2124 | | 3081.2314 | once the cruise- So we said, maybe /RD-NAME-2/ kind of knew. | 3083.9316 |
2125 | DCB_int_01 | 3084.4958 | Something was gonna happen (whispered). | 3085.5123 |
2126 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 3085.5077 | Something was gonna happen because the week before she passed, | 3088.4208 |
2127 | | 3088.7379 | she made individual dates with all of us. | 3090.7943 |
2129 | | 3091.5170 | And those dates was like, how much she loved us, how much she cared about us. Like, | 3095.3441 |
2131 | | 3095.7218 | just that one on one that she wanted with each | 3097.8574 |
2133 | | 3098.4123 | member | 3098.9471 |
2135 | | 3099.0468 | of the Fab. | 3099.8998 |
2137 | | 3100.7985 | And it was the weirdest thing ever. And then that weekend | 3103.2979 |
2139 | | 3103.4424 | before, 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 | | 3109.1020 | And she was kind of like- I'm not gonna say she was reserved, but she was like, | 3111.6806 |
2143 | | 3112.0012 | had like a calm | 3113.4234 |
2145 | | 3114.4026 | space, and we was like, | 3115.6382 |
2147 | | 3116.1558 | wow. And then our last conversation with /RD-NAME-2/ was about cops, like, | 3119.6425 |
2149 | | 3120.6777 | sh- how she liked people in uniform, but it had to be a PG cop. | 3123.8578 |
2151 | | 3124.4022 | And so when she died, I'm just like- She was in PG, cops, all these things. I'm like, Brittany kind of- | 3129.9324 |
2152 | DCB_int_01 | 3126.1974 | [/It was all these things/.] | 3127.5730 |
2153 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 3130.3835 | I feel like she knew | 3131.5120 |
2155 | | 3132.4445 | what was going on. But even still, it plays | 3135.4521 |
2157 | | 3135.7727 | a big part in our lives. And I think I was- I was in a good space until Thursday, | 3139.7781 |
2159 | | 3140.3796 | until the trial when I was asked to speak. | 3142.0909 |
2161 | | 3142.4302 | I feel like I was really at a good space in my life, | 3144.9108 |
2163 | | 3145.5450 | and I feel like, | 3146.0859 |
2165 | | 3146.2398 | reopening that, has put me at a set back in a sense that, I didn't want to see how she died. | 3151.6569 |
2167 | | 3152.2817 | And so the fact that video has to keep like, | 3153.9941 |
2169 | | 3154.3132 | replaying, | 3155.0550 |
2171 | | 3155.5866 | and I really had to see a psychiatrist on Wednesday. | 3157.9273 |
2172 | DCB_int_01 | 3159.4101 | And it doesn't help that you have it on your phone. | 3161.1110 |
2173 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 3161.7498 | I don't. It's on the news. | 3163.8807 |
2175 | | 3164.2118 | It's not in my phone. I [didn't save it to my] phone. It's like, on a website | 3167.6395 |
2176 | DCB_int_01 | 3165.3267 | [Oh okay.] | 3166.0262 |
2177 | | 3167.8027 | Oh, [okay.] | 3168.6234 |
2178 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 3168.1664 | [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 |
2179 | DCB_int_01 | 3169.8439 | [Okay.] | 3170.3289 |
2180 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 3172.0308 | But- | 3172.5437 |
2181 | DCB_int_01 | 3173.2152 | Cause it was horrific. [/inaudible/] | 3175.2389 |
2182 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 3174.1524 | [It was horrific.] | 3175.2389 |
2183 | DCB_int_01 | 3175.4674 | But you know what, /RD-NAME-3/, I think- I commend you because, you know | 3179.0380 |
2185 | | 3179.6209 | mental health is so important. And it's a community- [Especially black] people | 3183.1122 |
2186 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 3181.7845 | [Mm-hm.] | 3182.4139 |
2187 | | 3183.1822 | [Mm-hm.] | 3183.7790 |
2188 | DCB_int_01 | 3183.4060 | [We don't]- | 3184.0075 |
2189 | | 3184.5810 | We 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 |
2190 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 3187.8964 | [Mm-hm.] | 3188.5665 |
2191 | DCB_int_01 | 3191.0100 | like look, I just need to get some things off my chest. [And that- that] doesn't mean you crazy, or, | 3194.9024 |
2192 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 3192.8752 | [Mm-hm.] | 3193.4161 |
2193 | | 3195.1076 | [Mm-hm.] | 3195.6251 |
2194 | DCB_int_01 | 3195.1309 | [you gonna] go out and [shoot up fifteen peo-] You just | 3197.4903 |
2195 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 3196.3386 | [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 |
2197 | DCB_int_01 | 3197.6349 | [/having/ some issues.] | 3199.1130 |
2199 | | 3201.4526 | [And she was young. You guys are young.] | 3203.3131 |
2200 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 3202.3526 | [She was young!] Yeah. And so, losing my grandfather- | 3205.1270 |
2201 | | 3205.4441 | It was hard. Of course it was hard, but I also felt like he got to live his life. | 3209.1266 |
2202 | DCB_int_01 | 3209.2572 | [Mm-hm.] | 3209.7328 |
2203 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 3209.5463 | [So when I] think about my best friend, it's just like- | 3211.6119 |
2204 | | 3211.9558 | She was working on her Masters. She would have been | 3213.6065 |
2206 | | 3213.7697 | finished her Masters. | 3214.8189 |
2208 | | 3215.2665 | She would- She had just got the | 3216.7073 |
2210 | | 3216.9125 | position she wanted in HR for the Secret Service. | 3219.6858 |
2212 | | 3220.7769 | No kids. She was my right hand in my mentoring programs. So it was just like- | 3225.3594 |
2214 | | 3225.8070 | All 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 to | 3232.2453 |
2216 | | 3232.6557 | go out like that? Just getting up because her sisters call her like, can you come and get us? | 3236.5247 |
2218 | | 3236.8558 | And 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 |
2219 | DCB_int_01 | 3244.6836 | But it wasn't her fault. | 3245.6722 |
2220 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 3245.6069 | I know it wasn't her fault, but that kind of like, | 3247.7425 |
2221 | DCB_int_01 | 3249.2708 | [Gives you pause. Yeah.] | 3250.5810 |
2222 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 3249.2754 | [Shook me u- Yeah], like- | 3251.0986 |
2223 | | 3251.4017 | So 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 | | 3257.6395 | I'm like, oh, I'm going. I'm going. I'm going. And then when that happened, I'm like, | 3260.5294 |
2226 | DCB_int_01 | 3261.2661 | I'm good. | 3261.7417 |
2227 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 3261.7044 | I'm good. | 3262.2360 |
2228 | | 3262.5764 | So like even now, | 3263.6722 |
2230 | | 3263.9939 | getting the car, it's not- it's not good for me. I'm talking about like, if a | 3266.7159 |
2232 | | 3267.1309 | bus coming right here, I'm like holding on to the rail. | 3269.9892 |
2234 | | 3270.2644 | I'm like, | 3270.8442 |
2236 | | 3271.0237 | real shook up. | 3271.8637 |
2238 | | 3272.5014 | [It's real bad.] | 3273.2241 |
2239 | DCB_int_01 | 3272.5946 | [So you'd rather] do public [transportation?] | 3274.9867 |
2240 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 3274.1287 | [I'd rather] | 3275.0240 |
2241 | | 3275.4297 | do public transportation. But it's weird | 3277.1317 |
2243 | | 3277.8626 | because our friend Jelly is in a Car Club. | 3280.2220 |
2245 | | 3281.1219 | <ts> And so I'm around them. | 3282.6419 |
2247 | | 3282.7067 | They speed. They do all types of stuff they want to do. | 3285.0190 |
2249 | | 3285.3500 | And I be okay with it. | 3286.3616 |
2251 | | 3286.4363 | It- it- | 3286.8888 |
2253 | | 3287.3038 | it's weird. It's just [/but/] | 3288.7027 |
2254 | DCB_int_01 | 3288.3063 | [No, because] there's certain associations. Right? That's | 3290.3102 |
2255 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 3290.4641 | [<laugh>] Yeah. [<laugh> /I- I-/ different.] Mm-hm. | 3295.8171 |
2256 | DCB_int_01 | 3290.4827 | [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 | | 3295.9465 | But in a car- | 3297.3290 |
2261 | | 3297.4391 | But you don't mind flying? | 3298.6044 |
2262 | DCB_se2_ag2_f_01 | 3298.8888 | Right. | 3299.2199 |
2264 | | 3300.6047 | It's the weirdest thing ever. | 3301.7751 |
2265 | DCB_int_01 | 3301.8171 | Mm-hm. But because it's- j- th- [th-] And riding the bus is very different cause that's not | 3306.2970 |
