And I'd say for Randall in terms of what High's telling him,

there's not a day that your mom didn't think about you.

Whether she was in prison or out, she loved you fully.

To know that he was spoken of, because I think for such a long time, Randall just felt like he was an afterthought, unworthy of love.

I left at a fire station, no one came to find me, that sort of thing.

In his mind, it reminds me in a very interesting way about

African Americans, Blacks in America,

And Laura, a lot of us say that our story begins with the institution of chattel slavery.

Like that's where it sort of starts.

And I feel like that's sort of like where Randall's at.

But then there's a rich history of life and ancestry that extends before that, where there is no incarceration, there is no slavery, that there is freedom or whatnot.

That like, I think a lot of people sort of,

yearn to know that specificity because you can speak to other folks of the diaspora or either people from the motherland.
