Hope Valley, Durham, North Carolina

And I just have learned so much about people just through being at NC Central.

I grew up in Hope Valley in Durham, and it's kind of a suburban community, and there's not a lot of different kinds of people in that neighborhood.

So I grew up with a certain experience and maybe blinders on in terms of what I had really been around as a young person and as a young creative growing up.

And so, yeah, so I feel like it's enriched my perspective being there.
