HHDX: But doesn’t that upset you to hear something like that?
T’yanna: No, not really. I mean… at first – the first couple of years, it was really hard. But it’s been so long. It’s ten years today, you know? We’re celebrating the memory of his life. That is a positive; this day is a positive.

HHDX: Do they still have the celebration in Brooklyn in his honor?
T’yanna: Yes, they still do that. Brooklyn… gotta love it! It shows that after all this time, they still care. The world still cares and that is a beautiful thing to know.

HHDX: If you could hang out with your father for a day – what would you do?
T’yanna: I would just tell him everything that’s going on in my life. [Laughs] You know what I’d really want to do? I’d want us to go to Great Adventures, then go out to dinner and just talk. I would really like that.

HHDX: What are your guys’ future plans? What do you want to be when you get older?
T’yanna: I really want to be a fashion designer. Most people don’t know that my dad could really draw, I can as well. Fashion designing is something that I’m really serious about.

HHDX: What would you name your line?
T’yanna: You know what? I really don’t know what I’d name my line… My middle name is Dream, so I’d probably play off of that.

HHDX: How have you dealt with the issue of his murder still being unsolved?
T’yanna: It makes me feel like… I don’t know. Ten years for a murder to go unsolved is a long time. It makes me feel like the police should try harder to figure it out, but I really want it to be solved. I want it to be so badly.

HHDX: Would you be angered once the truth came to light?
T’yanna: No, I don’t think that I would be. I’d be more so relieved that I knew why it happened, rather than be angry. It’s too late to be angry, anymore.

HHDX: Does that create a deep-seeded resentment towards those who are supposed to “protect and serve”…?
T’yanna: No, I can’t hate every cop. You know because they weren’t working on my dad’s case. So, I can’t be upset with the police, like I said… I’d rather them find out what happened and solve what occurred.

HHDX: How do you think of your dad compared to how everyone else saw him?
T’yanna: I think my view of him was similar to what other’s saw. He was just a good person, everyone saw that in him. That’s basically who he was. Continued on page 3 »
