How It All Goes Down
- Natasha's father moved to America with dreams of becoming a Broadway actor.
- Natasha and her mother planned to stay in Jamaica for a year and then join him...but Samuel didn't hit it big, so that year turned into two.
- Natasha remembered calling her dad and hearing his Jamaican accent become more Americanized.
- Her mother said they couldn't wait much longer, so they didn't.
- When Patricia and Natasha arrived in New York, Samuel was so happy to see them and told him he had missed them so much.
- Having a wife and child to support meant he couldn't just crash on friends' couches any more. He needed a real job, so he became a security guard on the graveyard shift with big plans to audition during the day.
- But exhaustion and rejection set in, and Samuel began to give up on his dreams.
