Liliana

I was born on an Air Force base, actually.

So as far as I know, yeah.

Maybe I think after I was born, she got time off to stay and take care of me, I guess.

I'm not sure, actually.

I don't think she...

um finished I don't know if there's like certain training you have to do I don't think she ever actually like made it to the stuff she wanted to do I guess um and and then my dad I'm not sure just because I don't really know him that well but they were on and get off again and my my mom ends up pregnant with T and they decide they want to break up and my dad wanted according to him because like I said I was a baby I don't know but this is just what I've been told

He wanted custody of me and my mom threatened to miscarry T if he took me.

And so he just backed off.

And yeah, so she took me, she took T and moved to, I'm not sure where they were living together, but for most of my life, I've lived in Indiana.

So we were living in Indiana.

And this is when I start, you know, I can start sharing my own personal experience because it was during this time that I had my first memory.

And my very first memory is we were in this house, this one-story house that had two bedrooms.

And my mom, like, my mom can pick them, let me tell you.

Like, she loves an abusive man.

She loves a racist man.

She loves the worst of the worst, truly.

And my very first memory is her putting me in the closet.

And the closet was, like, kind of like blinds, like you have on the windows.

But they were made of wood, so you couldn't, like, you know, open them and peek.

But I could peek through the slits.
