1:58
SPEAKER_01: Oh man, um, so I actually been here uh 11 years now, which is pretty crazy as I think of it.
2:06
SPEAKER_01: Because this is a small town, very small town.
2:08
SPEAKER_01: It's a military town because uh we're I live like a couple of blocks away from the actual Fort Hood base.
2:16
SPEAKER_01: So um, but yeah, it's just uh it's a small town, military.
2:21
SPEAKER_01: There's not a lot to do here.
2:23
SPEAKER_01: Uh yeah.
2:23
SPEAKER_01: There's you have to drive to Austin or Waco or go to you know somewhere outside of there just to actually experience a lot of fun things.
2:31
SPEAKER_03: So oh no kidding.
2:33
SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
2:34
SPEAKER_03: So wow, that's cool.
2:35
SPEAKER_03: So so you like it there.
2:36
SPEAKER_03: So you've been there a while, huh?
2:37
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I've been here a while because uh my husband actually was uh raid born and raised here.
2:43
SPEAKER_01: So well he was like born in Temple, like Temple, but he was raised in Killeen and his whole family is here, so that's when we moved here.
2:50
SPEAKER_01: But I actually did live in uh the small town Alice, that's not far from Corpus.
2:55
SPEAKER_01: I did live there for uh a couple of months when my oldest son was only a baby, and then I moved back down here because I was living at the ranch with my parents and my grandma, but um I couldn't live that lifestyle.
3:10
SPEAKER_01: So uh I was like, uh I'll take a risk and I'll we're gonna make this, we're gonna make our relationship work and talk things out, and that's when I moved back to Killeen.
3:19
SPEAKER_03: Wow, interesting.
3:20
SPEAKER_03: Well, what was it too dry, too dry and too much nothing around here?
3:24
SPEAKER_01: Well, the thing the thing about the the ranch is everything is it's it's like uh you know those mobile homes, the big mobile home trailer homes and stuff.
3:32
SPEAKER_01: It's nice and stuff, but there's no running water on there.
3:37
SPEAKER_01: So we had to do everything the old-fashioned way where we had to get buckets and yeah, so and at that time I grew my mom when uh when we were kids, my parents would send us over to my grandma's ranch, and we would actually live there to appreciate what we have in Arlington and stuff.
3:54
SPEAKER_01: Like when you're spoiled, you send your kids off to another place to have them appreciate stuff.
3:58
SPEAKER_01: So that's what my parents did.
4:00
SPEAKER_01: And I when I lived there, I was like, oh my god, I can't do this.
4:04
SPEAKER_01: But I ended up being uh I ended up meeting a lot of people there, and I taught at a dance studio in Alice Middle, a bunch of amazing kids and um and things.
4:15
SPEAKER_01: But I had I had some good moments there, but majority of the time it just it was hard to raise a baby, and the time this personal stuff I was dealing with, it was pretty hard.
4:23
SPEAKER_03: So yeah.
4:25
SPEAKER_03: So that so dancing has been a that's been a part of your life for a while?
4:28
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I actually um it actually helped me open up to the you know like not being shy and open and actually uh step out of my shelf.
4:39
SPEAKER_01: And it meant I met a lot of new people and I actually experienced traveling a lot more and stuff, and this all happened when I started I entered the scene at 16.
4:50
SPEAKER_01: Oh wow, yeah, which it all happened because of my brother Junior, which this is actually a video of my first battle.
4:57
SPEAKER_02: Oh wow.
4:58
SPEAKER_01: Um, I actually went so this battle, my brother Junior said, Hey, if you really want us, want me to teach you how to pop and you know more dancing, he's like, needs to kind of take it seriously.
5:09
SPEAKER_01: So he made me and my brother Bobby practice and stuff, and he's like, Hey, so on this day, we're gonna go ahead and into I'm gonna sign you up for a battle.
5:18
SPEAKER_01: And we're freaked out, like, oh my god, we're actually gonna enter a live battle for dancing.
5:23
SPEAKER_01: And I was like panicking, I was like, using my inhaler, I was like, oh my god, I was like, oh my gosh.
5:32
SPEAKER_01: Um, so my brother backed out, my brother Bobby, who he's the one that actually taught me how to break dance, and my older brother Junior is actually the one that taught me how to pop.
5:40
SPEAKER_01: So, right here, I was all scared, and I was like, okay, I'm just gonna go out and do what I, you know, what I've been practicing and stuff like that.
5:47
SPEAKER_01: So I went out and I was fully nervous.
5:50
SPEAKER_01: I didn't know nobody there.
5:52
SPEAKER_01: Like it was just I just knew my brother Junior.
5:54
SPEAKER_01: My brother Junior knew everybody there in the scene, and the guy that I battled, uh, which is now a good friend of mine, Roscoe, and he was at the time, he was one of the best poppers.
6:06
SPEAKER_01: And for me to, you know, to show him up like that at that battle, a lot of people were shocked and impressed.
6:12
SPEAKER_01: They're like, like, who's this girl?
6:13
SPEAKER_01: Like, where did she come from?
6:14
SPEAKER_01: And wow, and uh my homeboy Roscoe, like after I went that round, he got, you know, like, okay, okay, like that's it, you know.
6:21
SPEAKER_01: But I ended up beating him, and then I made it to the semifinals when against another amazing well-known pauper named John Doe, and I lost in the semifinals, so I was pretty happy on my first battle ever.
6:32
SPEAKER_01: I made it to the semis, and my brother was happy for me, and I got a free t-shirt, and I was like pretty impressed with myself.
6:40
SPEAKER_01: I didn't know I could do something like that, and and I continue and all that.
6:44
SPEAKER_01: But if it wasn't for my brother Bobby for making me practice breakdancing and practicing more in my popping, just because he wanted someone to enter the talent show with, I wouldn't, I think I wouldn't have been in the area or know so many people now.
7:00
SPEAKER_01: So, thanks to both my brothers.
7:02
SPEAKER_01: Um I so I that's pretty cool.
7:06
SPEAKER_03: That's that takes a lot of guts to do that, you know?
7:09
SPEAKER_03: Uh to go out there, nobody you don't know anybody there.
7:11
SPEAKER_03: No, and and you're like 16 years old?
7:14
SPEAKER_01: Yes, I was like yeah, because I was only like before I entered dancing, it was just more about me playing sports basketball, volleyball, track, cross country.
7:23
SPEAKER_01: Like I was all into that.
7:24
SPEAKER_01: I was a sports person, but when it came to dancing, I was always too shy.
7:28
SPEAKER_01: So I was always like in my room practicing by myself, like no one knew I was practicing until my brother caught me practicing the robot in the living room, and he was in the hallway laughing at me.
7:39
SPEAKER_01: And so that's when he's all like, Well, if you want to really get into it and stuff.
7:43
SPEAKER_01: So but I but as time passes by, um, we um I entered a girl crew called Fin Feetau with my friend Jennifer and my homegirl Shamrock.
7:54
SPEAKER_01: Um actually Shamrock, uh, which um she we she actually met me here at this jam, and I didn't know who she was, and she was like, Hey, you did she gave me mad props and respect, and I was pretty happy about that.
8:05
SPEAKER_01: And um, and then later on we formed a crew called Finn Fe Tal, which um we actually uh made history in Texas as uh being one of the first B girl crews to actually battle another B girl crew, uh which and B girl and B Boy is done for uh like breaking like breaking boy and breaking girl, which this one um was actually pretty intense.
8:32
SPEAKER_01: So um so we actually went against a girl a girl that's called ladies uh ladies first crew and so this is actually this all went down from in Houston.
8:48
SPEAKER_01: So this is actually my friend uh Jennifer, which her nickname is B Girl Bout It.
8:54
SPEAKER_01: So these girls, they're from California, they're from uh New Mexico, they're um they're like they all came into state from uh to us, and some of them uh one of them was actually from San Antonio too, uh, which is actually Bexy.
9:07
SPEAKER_01: Um, so you know it was the first jam, first battle like this big to have two B girls that actually went in hard coal and hard court and has been training for a while, and um it was intimidating, like it was like tough.
9:22
SPEAKER_01: Like there was like a lot of shit talking.
9:25
SPEAKER_01: There was a lot of like, you know, like giving the middle finger and all that.
9:29
SPEAKER_01: I was like, oh my god, I was like, oh my gosh, this is violent, man.
9:34
SPEAKER_03: Are we gonna fight after this?
9:37
SPEAKER_01: Like, like back then, the breaking the battles and stuff like that, it made it seem like they're about to like you're about to fight on the dance floor, but you're not just how hyped you get into how aggressive it can be.
9:48
SPEAKER_01: And the audience, they loved it.
9:50
SPEAKER_01: They loved how they see you know, females doing power moves and uh like windmills, head spins, you know, uh things like that, and going at one of each other because usually just two b-boys crews going at it, you know, battling with that kind of uh aggressiveness.
10:06
SPEAKER_01: Right.
10:07
SPEAKER_01: And um, and there has been other B girls in the scene that actually battled, but there was never enough B girls to battle crew versus crew, like the way that we did it.
10:16
SPEAKER_02: Wow.
10:17
SPEAKER_01: And so it was pretty hype because at the time it was a crew called Vicious Germs that was based out in Houston.
10:25
SPEAKER_01: They're the one that threw this jam, and uh and it made it happen.
10:29
SPEAKER_01: It was a lot of fun.
10:30
SPEAKER_01: Like I like both I give mad respect to all the girls that entered because it's not easy, it's like it gets to you mentally with the training and stuff because you if you're making history on something, especially as a female, you you try not to mess up or anything like that.
10:45
SPEAKER_03: So wow, so y'all knew the the gravity of the situation going in.
10:51
SPEAKER_01: Oh yes, yes, we knew it, but we were hyped for it and um and stuff like that.

11:06
SPEAKER_01: I was just looking at them like I was in the the sideline battling with them, but I was like, oh my gosh, like like they were like at it, like it was it was pretty crazy, but I'm glad we got it all on footage.
11:19
SPEAKER_01: Like this is me and Shamrock right here.
11:20

15:40
SPEAKER_01: All the advice went out the window.
15:48
SPEAKER_01: So people were freaking out that I was breaking, I was popping, I was threading.
15:53
SPEAKER_01: I even did a half jazz split um on my uh in my battles and stuff, and I was like, it's nothing scary, but when I looked back at it now, I was like, oh shit, like I should have been careful or should have you know.

21:28

22:52
SPEAKER_03: To help your kids.
22:53
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, it was actually it was a lot because when I first when I dealt with my first son, I noticed he wasn't babbling like other kids, like you know, babies, they'll they'll say like babble or girl, so you know, like babble, try to say stuff like baby talk.
23:07
SPEAKER_01: You didn't say anything, he was just muted, like he would just only time you notice something is when he laughs or when he cries, or uh, that's it.
23:16

23:44
SPEAKER_01: And I started finding more about that.
23:46
SPEAKER_01: And as as soon as my son got older after he was diagnosed, uh, when he has meltdowns or when he's flustered or something, he will start hitting his head on the wall, he started hitting himself, and we had to put on a medication, and he actually calmed down a lot.
24:02
SPEAKER_01: He still he has to use a communication device to speak to us, like you know, to try to say citizens, because he can't say citizens, he'll say uh uh like a couple of words, and that was that would be it.
24:13
SPEAKER_01: But he still talks like a one-year-old actually talks more than my own my oldest son out there.
24:19

SPEAKER_01: I'll just start off with just balloons and stuff, and then I started getting bigger and bigger, and then other people started asking me to do their birthday decorations, uh-huh.
32:22
SPEAKER_01: And I was like, okay, I was like, I'll give it a try, but I'm very, very uh what is it hard on myself when it comes to stuff like that because I'm like, oh, I'm not doing this right.

SPEAKER_01: So this is actually how I start making my decorations.
32:48
SPEAKER_01: So I started out drawing it off as an imposter board, then I start, you know, making it out of cutting it out of construction paper.
32:57
SPEAKER_01: It's because construction paper actually brings out the color more than um coloring and marker and stuff like that.
33:04
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, yeah.
33:05
SPEAKER_01: So I started doing that to it, and um and it actually all happened with my daughter Melody.

37:32
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, you're all like question, like once you start it, like I shouldn't have started this.

37:56
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, like I I'm I'm ADD or ADHD, one of them.
38:00
SPEAKER_03: Uh, and I think and I think both of my my kids are like we don't have them, I haven't tested or nothing, but I can kind of with all the research that I have, like that I have knowledge that I have, I'm like, they probably have a certain uh habit, you know what I mean?
38:13
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, and then when you brought up autism, I was like, oh, because I think they kind of go hand in hand.
38:19
SPEAKER_03: Because there's a spectrum, right?
38:20
SPEAKER_01: There's yeah, yeah, there's a spectrum for it.
38:23
SPEAKER_01: You just all they do is pretty much because my both my sons have ADHD too, but my daughter, Penelope, she has ADHD, and I got her tested for autism, but they're all like, Well, she's not we're not you can't diagnose her because they changed the chart and she was like only one point off.
38:41
SPEAKER_01: I was like, you know, I was like, uh I didn't, I kind of told the doctor, I was like, you I'm like, that's not right just by one point.
38:49

38:52
SPEAKER_01: Like, yeah, I was like, What's what are you gonna do about that?
38:55
SPEAKER_01: Like, you can't diagnose her.
38:57
SPEAKER_01: I was like, I need to get her tested one more time just to make sure, and stuff like that.
39:02
SPEAKER_01: And I told the doctor, I'm not gonna have you test her, I'm gonna have another doctor test her.
39:06
