TaaQweema Jenkins: "Welcome to the final segment of the Ghetto Science Team Public Television special program reviewing of the inspirational documentary titled 'L.O.M.O.: The Life Time Achievement of Aunt Tee Tee Hustle, IT Guru,' produced by Hustle Family Productions. Aunt Tee Tee could not be on this special program because she has a prior engagement as a guest speaker at the Ghetto Technology and Education Conference. Speaking on behalf of Aunt Tee Tee is Brotha Hustle, her nephew and business associate."
"What does the acronym L.O.M.O. mean?"
Brotha Hustle: "It's pronounced 'Low Moe'like 'Mo Jo.' The acronym L.O.M.O. is Learning on My Own. Aunt Tee Tee said that she became a successful computer specialist because she learned on her own, like Frederick Douglass did when he taught himself how to read and write."
TaaQweema Jenkins: "How did Aunt Tee Tee learn about computers?"
Brotha Hustle: "She found a box of Mr. Video Professor DVDs someone threw in the trash, bought a refurbished computer with monitor, keyboard and mouse from Jojo's Discount Dollar Store, and purchased a computer-repair manual at a yard sale in the suburbs. I remember Aunt Tee Tee spending the wee hours of the night in her bedroom studying the repair manual and viewing the DVDs. Her living space turned into a computer server room with cables going everywhere.
"Nevertheless, Aunt Tee Tee learned and is now a certified Ghetto Science Team Computer Technician."
TaaQweema Jenkins: "Oooh, whee! Aunt Tee Tee got her LOMO working!"
