I mean, Candace, if you would have asked me what was my biggest need, I would have told you, I need Jordans. These guys in the 90s, where there was no way I could have Jordans, they had Jordans. I would have told you, I need Air Jordans.

My mother, she was working in a factory, but she was making maybe less than a dollar a day. So we were barely paying a very small check in this ghetto. And I was very sick, dealing with asthma because of the humidity of the small shack where we were. And in this context, I remember, let me think, spend days without eating because we didn't have any money.

We barely could pay the small check where we were. My mother decided I need a place. I cannot have this baby in the street. And that journey of working in the streets, being aware of the dangerous reality in my neighborhood as an early age, maybe five. Since I was five, I was in the streets selling empanadas to help my mom. And I didn't understand what we were going through.

In fact, I don't have any bad memory on those early stages in my life. Besides the dentist setting. Life for me as a child was like any child would be. Normal life, just playing around.

Yeah, I mentioned that intentionally because I didn't realize we were in poverty.

I do remember moments that I felt sad. Like my father was not with us at home. I always questioned why my father was not at home. I have those memories. I do remember there were moments that I felt ashamed. My shoes were broken. So my shoes, they flip flop. And in the DR, we say hungry shoes. Here, people say talky shoes.

And I say mine were both hungry and talky at the same time because they slap so hard. Those were moments that I do remember being sad because I had to walk with my shoes broken or that they had holes down the sole and I needed to take cardboard and put it inside. I don't know if children need a uniform to go to school here in the U.S.?
