Description

In this interview, conducted in November 2017 in Flushing, Michigan , Aarika Hopson (15) interviews her mother Janet Hopson (51) about her life as a preachers daughter living in Detroit, Michigan with seven sisters and a loving family. At 3:50, Janet shares how she would beat up all the big boys who messed with her or who had crushes on her. She was a little thing, which made it even more funny. At 5:20, she shares about the camp memories she still keeps with her today. She also discussed at 9:43 the loss of my father (her husband), and how it impacted her, even sharing how they met and knew each other were the "missing pieces in each others puzzle." Around 14:50, she talked more about the devastating loss of her husband and how she believes he would've liked to be remembered.
