I was able to spend
a lot of time
with my grandparents.
I would play
hide and seek
behind the porcelain.
Here I rooted myself.
I met Diane
throughout the U.S.
It was oral history.
She wanted to know what
was keeping our doors open.
Diane knew I'd been away
for three years.
I shadowed her
for three months.
I learned to listen
and to learn.
I learned to frame.
Everybody I talked to
was being resilient.
White, affluent folks,
not part of the community.
No resilience
and no revolt.
We just continued to open up shop
everyday.
