Dee left home so that she could venture out and find her true "identity." She felt so helpless growing up in such an impoverished home. She was popular, outgoing and also pushy. She disliked her home and was ashamed of her family. She was hoping that going off to college that she could assume a new identity. She does this by changing her name and meeting other friends--such as her boyfriend, Hakim-a-barber. They come back to her mother and sister's house to obtain some of the cultural items around the house to "show off her heritage" at school.
