Tarajia Morrell reflects on her childhood memories of serving hors d'oeuvres in her family’s unique one-bedroom apartment. Despite its small size and quirky design, the apartment holds immense sentimental value for her. As she recalls how her upbringing intertwined her identity with the space, she reveals her determination to fight for her right to stay there, even pursuing legal action up to New York State's highest court. The apartment, unchanged over the years, represents not just a physical space but a cherished part of her lifelong story.
One of Tarajia Morrell's earliest childhood memories is walking through her family's apartment with a plate of food in one hand and ironed napkins in the other.
Over the course of Ms. Morrell's lifetime, there have been no major changes to the apartment. It's such a special, quirky-as-can-be, meek, asymmetrical, magnificent place.
