- That's why you got this rooming house?
- Not exactly.
That just kinda come to me.
I was working out at Woodlawn for this white couple... had two beautiful boys.
On Saturday before my day off, I'd bake cakes and pies so they'd have some sweets after their Sunday dinner.
The lady of the house was so impressed, she said,
"Rachel, you don't have to do this.
You could be home.
This is so nice!"
I said, "Well, I'm just looking out for my boys."
Then she told me if I was gonna make cakes,
I had to make one to take home to my family.
Well, one Saturday...
I'll never forget it.
She lit into me.
"Where're you going with that cake?
!
I can't afford to feed you and your whole family every week!"
Then she stormed off one way, and I dropped that cake on the table and stormed off the other.
On my drive home, there was so much turmoil inside of me.
I could...
I could still feel the warmth from the goodbye hug them boys give me, and I held on to it 'cause I knew that'd be the last hug they was ever gonna give me, 'cause from that day forward, I was gonna be my own boss.
And that I was.
