Camille: I am definitely everything my mother hoped I would be and more. Raising me was nothing but a joy for her. Raising me was nothing but a pat on the back at my grand achievements. She’s always been nothing but in awe of my accomplishments. And I’ve tried my best to use the morals that she instilled in me. I’m like the golden child. I’ll probably snag her an outfit for Mother’s Day.

Don: Yes and more. I was a surprise to her, but she loved me very much. It didn’t matter what I did; she always loved me. It isn’t easy being pretty. My mother never saw this look. My mother saw me when I was the drum major in my little man outfit. She was proud. I’m pursuing my dream again. There’s just not a big call for male majorettes over the age of 23. But when there is, I’m there.

Mbica: Yes, because I have not gone to jail for any significant amount of time. Knock on wood. My mother is happy with me because I am happy. I’m not a doctor like my brother but I’m not a troublemaker, either. No major incarceration. I’m not a young man, so to make that claim is major in these times. I’ve stayed out of the system. And for Mother’s Day, she’s going to get a surprise visit. I’m going to go to church with my mom.
