I think that's definitely worth it. I'm with you.

So when I said earlier on that there's some stories of my parents to find that have really stayed with me, the one of my mom is one that really I think was transformative. So I was about seven or eight and I was walking back from the grocery store with my mom and it was quite a long walk back and we had this rickety shopping cart. And we were rolling that back home.

And we decided to take a shortcut through what you call in Yorkshire a snicket, which is just a narrow alleyway, right? When I went to elementary school, I was not supposed to go through that snicket.

It was there. But anyway, mom and I, we went through the Snicket and we were confronted by about seven or eight teenage boys and they blocked our path. And they started shouting out some stuff to us, like some racist comments, go back home. We're trying to.

But my reaction was instant, which is what you had described before, right? Immediately, eyes down, averted. All I wanted to do was not look at them and maneuver my way through and get home as fast as I could. And my mom, she's petite. She's smaller than me now. She was taller than me at the time, but she's like 4'10". She had like her hair very neatly plaited back and single braid at the back.

And I had thought of her as completely compliant person. And she did something that really surprised me that day. She put the shopping cart up vertical and she put one hand on her hip and she looked at them and she said, what do you mean? My fear was going up at this point. So I grabbed her arm even tighter and I started whispering to her. I was like... mama.

And I wanted to be the compliant person. And she shook me off. She was like, no. And she looked at them again and she said, what do you mean? They stared at her. She stared at them. And then she said, oh, you think you're big, tough boys, right? Big, strong boys. And she started telling them off in broken English. Oh, wow. And they like just looking at each other thinking, What's going on here?

And one of them just said, let's go. Yeah. And they just dispersed. Yeah. And I was like, what happened? My mom grabbed the cart and she walked as fast as she could through that snicket. I never thought the day would come that she would tell off a group of boys on the street in that way.
