I wanted a black orchestra

Dorastałam w Houston w Teksasie odwiedzając Praire View. Mieliśmy przez wiele lat próby w TSU w Third Ward. I zawsze marzyłam żeby pójść do typowego HBCU. Moim koledżem był zespół Destiny's Child. Moim koledżem było podróżowanie dookoła świata, a życiem była moja nauczycielka. Chciałam czarnoskórą orkiestrę. Chciałam grupki. Potrzebowałam wokalistów. Ponieważ chciałam różnych postaci—nie chciałam, żebyśmy robili tej samej rzeczy. I ilość takiego swagu jest po prostu bez limitu, jak... rzeczy, które ci młodzi ludzie potrafią robić ze swoimi ciałami, muzyką, umieją grać na werblach, i fryzury i ciała i... po prostu jest źle. To po prostu za dużo cholernie swagu
Houston, Texas'da Prairie View çevresinde büyüdüm. Third Ward'dayken uzun yıllar TSU'da prova yaptık Ve sürekli bir HBCU'ya gitmeyi hayal ettim. Benim üniversitem Destiny's Child'dı. Üniversitem dünyayı dolaşmaktı ve hayat benim öğretmenimdi. Siyahi bir orkestra istedim. Profesyonel dansçılar istedim. Vokalistlere ihtiyacım vardı. Çünkü farklı karakterler istedim - hepimizin aynı şeyi yapmasını istemedim. Ve kasıp savurma miktarı sınırsız, mesela ... bu gençlerin vücutlarıyla yapabilecekleri şeyler ve çalabilecekleri müzik, davullar, saç kesimleri ve vücutlar ve... bu doğru değil. Bu sadece bir lanet olası-
