Today I interviewed D14 on the subject of where you grew up and found it fascinating that she lived in Carol City Miami for the majority of her life, moving twice but still staying within the same area D14 explained that her childhood would most be recalled in the renovated 4 bedroom 2 bath trailer she grew up in. D14 explained that she very much liked Carol city but it was the tone of her voice that made me maybe think different leading my interview into a more personal questioner. D14 explained that she grew up with her brother and mother and what she disliked about growing up there was the fact that the environment surrounding her home was very negative and had later influenced her brother into street life and hustling and an early age. D14 explained that besides the neighborhood trouble makers there weren’t many kids her age around witch lead her to the “ Libres por la verdad” church were she became an active member at the age of 9 and is now a church leader. It was hear that she found friendship and more comfort. I asked if D14wouyld raise her kids in Carol City and I noticed a pause and a look of disappointment as she answered “yes and no, yes I would like to but not with the surrounding influence, only if things improved.” We went into more dept about this and D14 mentioned her neighborhood pool as a common hang out spot for marijuana junkies and local drug dealers in which she spoke of with a tone of disappointment and almost a sense of anger. When asked the down sides to her home she explained that for hurricanes she’s always forced to evacuate and there is frequent damage done to the home in the event of hurricanes, but what she did like was the rent was very affordable and easy to manage. I asked if she could live in any other place where would it be and if shed trade it n she said shed trade her whole childhood to live in Spain instead.
