This is your guest host Zuri Bracy, coming to you live with a special guest. Now we are celebrating 300 Voices series, which is a pay- an opportunity for us to pay homage to the San Antonio 300th anniversary [transition] [Inaudible] May fifth is the founding day of San Antonio. We want you all to share your voice and why San Antonio is so important and some of the contributions that you have made towards the city. So today, I'm going to introduce our very special d- our guest, which is Mr. Ritea Acosta. There we are. He is one of our Harlem Globetrotters, guys. Number fifty-eight, yay. So we're gonna get to know this young man because he is a San Antonian and he is doing a lot for the community. And we want to get to know him on a personal note because you never know who you're standing next to. So Mr. Ritea, thank you so much for joining us today. \r\n\r\n\r\nRitea Acosta  1:02\r\nThank you for having me. Thank you for having me.\r\n\r\n\r\nZuri Bracy  1:03\r\nOh, yes, we do appreciate you. And you just came off tour. When did your tour end?\r\n\r\n\r\nRitea Acosta  1:08  \r\nApril twenty-ninth. \r\n\r\n\r\nZuri Bracy  1:09\r\nApril twenty-ninth. What states did you visit during the tour? \r\n\r\n\r\nRitea Acosta  1:13\r\nI had the pleasure of visiting Florida–which I had never been to–Atlanta, Idaho; Omaha, Nebraska, different cities in Nebraska. We went to North and South Carolina, Alabama–it was another place I had never been to–Chicago, um- actually a lot of places. I remember I wa- I was like, get on the bus, sleep, stop, do the show, airport, you know, new hotel, so. It was pretty nice. I enjoyed it.\r\n\r\n\r\nZuri Bracy  1:43  \r\nWell, that is absolutely amazing because I’ve been to one of the shows and it is an incredi- incredible show. It's very memorable. The kids enjoy it, the parents enjoy it, the grandparents enjoy it. It's just a show that everybody enjoys. And so you get the opportunity not only to touch people in San Antonio, but pretty much people– \r\n\r\n\r\nRitea Acosta  2:00\r\nEverywhere, yes.\r\n\r\n\r\nZuri Bracy  2:01\r\n–all around the nation. That’s–\r\n\r\n\r\nRitea Acosta  2:02  \r\nFun fact is, I had never saw a show before my first day working. \r\n\r\n\r\nZuri Bracy  2:07\r\nOh, my goodness. [laughs]\r\n\r\n\r\nRitea Acosta  2:09\r\nI saw my first show the night before my first time playing.\r\n\r\n\r\nZuri Bracy  2:12  \r\nWow, that is amazing.\r\n\r\n\r\nRitea Acosta  2:15  \r\nIt was amazing. You get to see it right on the floor. You know, you sit right by the bench and you just kind of see how everything is supposed to work. You see everything that goes on in the background. You kind of get the feel of it. And it's just really warm, you know, the crowd just–if you're even with the team–they just kind of accept you, they embrace you. So it was really nice, yeah.\r\n\r\n\r\nZuri Bracy  2:33  \r\nYeah. And you told me that your position is the finisher. That sounds very strong, the finisher. Can you tell us exactly what that entails and how the variances work. Just a quick breakdown of the Globetrotters real quick.\r\n\r\n\r\nRitea Acosta  2:44  \r\nThe way being a finisher works is they have different positions: there's the showmen, there are the dribblers, there are the guys that do the crazy shots, the guys that go into the crowd and make jokes; and then there are the finishers, who are often the guys who finished, you know, the skit of the joke or a trick by either getting the ball and doing a, you know, a really amazing dunk, or they throw us really amazing and high passes, and we have to catch those and we have to finish those as best possible. \r\n\r\n\r\nZuri Bracy  3:13  \r\nWow. So have you participated in any of those dunk contests that I see on television all the time?\r\n\r\n\r\nRitea Acosta  3:19  \r\nI had a few in college, usually for, you know, Midnight Madness. There have been a few that are for fundraisers out here in San Antonio. I did one before I left for a Cops versus Clergy game, where I actually met George Gervin, which was really, you know–if you're a basketball fan–it's really a big deal. That was probably one of the highlights of, like, my year, for last year. But I've participated in a few dunk contests. I've been blessed to be pretty athletic the majority of my life, so try to take advantage of it.\r\n\r\n\r\nZuri Bracy  3:49  \r\nThat is amazing. Always use the gifts that God gives you. \r\n\r\n\r\nRitea Acosta  3:51\r\nUse ‘em.\r\n\r\n\r\nZuri Bracy  3:52\r\nThat's true, use them before you lose them. So we're going to kind of step back a little bit. We're trying to get to know you more on a personal level. Where were you born?\r\n\r\n\r\nRitea Acosta  4:00  \r\nI was born here in San Antonio, Texas.\r\n\r\n\r\nZuri Bracy  4:02  \r\nReally, in San Antonio? Wow. San Antonio, look at that. We have a Harlem Glo- Globetrotter, right here in our own backyard. That is amazing. So- and you- what part of town did you grew up on. I- I know you kind of mentioned–\r\n\r\n\r\nRitea Acosta  4:16  \r\nI grew up right here on the East Side. Grew at 1311 West Hein Road, next to the 1480 Gospel radio station.\r\n\r\n\r\nZuri Bracy  4:22  \r\nReally? That gospel station has been around for quite a while. \r\n\r\n\r\nRitea Acosta  4:27\r\nForever. \r\n\r\n\r\nZuri Bracy  4:28\r\nForever. [laughs] Oh, yes. A- and what did your parents do?\r\n\r\n\r\nRitea Acosta  4:33  \r\nI was raised, majority, by my grandmother. My grandmother who worked for the Southwest Texas Blood Bank. And she raised me and my older brother. So we grew up in a small trailer, right up there on the hill. Yeah.\r\n\r\n\r\nZuri Bracy  4:49  \r\nThat's amazing. That is amazing. Humble beginnings. And basically you told me that you- you're involved with your church, also. \r\n\r\n\r\nRitea Acosta  4:54\r\nYes, ma’am. Very much so involved in the church, yes ma’am. \r\n\r\n\r\nZuri Bracy  4:57\r\nYeah. Do you- do you do community service with them, or–?\r\n\r\n\r\nRitea Acosta  5:01  \r\nIt started, like I said, with my grandmother. We- we started off with the choir when I was four. And you know, my pastor when I was growing up was Reverend Callies, who passed recently, but his entire family who we’ve known forever. His oldest daughter, who was the choir director and the pianist, who still does the same thing now, she took everybody who was a member. And I think the minute you were able to speak, you were in the choir. So we started off with the choir, we were always at the [Martin Luther King Jr.] March every year. Recently, I joined another church. I have a family member, Reverend D.J. Acosta, he's at Oasis Baptist Church. Yeah, so we just started. And recently, we started a feeding program, about a week ago, where we actually got a- a nice thing going with the San Antonio Food Bank, where we get meals in–about 100 to 200 meals–we feed, you know, families that may need it, and that don't need it, and bring their kids up. So, so far during the summer we've been helping feed families that need it. And we've been doing that, we started a fit camp, where I actually coach them. On that, you know, every day, Monday through Friday, 7:30 at Gibbs Sprawl Park. We’re changing locations, you know, pretty much every week to benefit all the guys in the church, you know, every family that can make it to certain areas. So it's about, you know, losing but still gaining at the same time. So–\r\n\r\n\r\nZuri Bracy  6:25\r\nThat's amazing.\r\n\r\n\r\nRitea Acosta  6:26\r\n–that's the goal.\r\n\r\n\r\nZuri Bracy  6:27  \r\nThat is absolutely amazing. [To the camera] Kids, put down those video games and get out there and join him. That is amazing. You can actually go out there and train with a Globetrotter. That's amazing. So get out there and stay connected with this man. What high school did you go to?\r\n\r\n\r\nRitea Acosta  6:42  \r\nI went to South Houston High School.\r\n\r\n\r\nZuri Bracy  6:44  \r\nSam Houston High School. Yes, yes, yes. Where- I- I'm sorry. I know the- the mascot changed.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nRitea Acosta  6:52  \r\nYeah, it changed a few years before I got there. It was Cherokees, and then when I got there we were the Hurricanes.\r\n\r\n\r\nZuri Bracy  6:59\r\nYou were the Hurricanes.Okay, no problem. So you just making a difference, blowing through this city. That is amazing. And your greatest contribution to San Antonio, I- I'm hearing that the feeding system, but you also mentioned something about the- the Boys and Girls Club.\r\n\r\n\r\nRitea Acosta  7:13  \r\nI grew up in the Boys and Girls Club, also. It was one of those things where it was just the place that was kind of a sanctuary away from, you know, whatever you had going on. In between the times when I was living with my mother, who was- is a completely different story than with my grandmother. It wasn't as stable. So the Club was kind of like the sanctuary, it was like the spot to be. You know, it's kind of where I started getting into basketball, ‘cause I didn’t start ‘til I was about in eighth grade. But it was close, there was a gym there, there were other kids there, you know, a lot of my friends from school went there, too. So when I was in college, my first summer- actually out of high school, you know, my first job was working the Boys and Girls Club. So trying to give back, do the same thing, you know, that was done for me when I was growing up.\r\n\r\n\r\nZuri Bracy  7:59  \r\nYes, yes. That's amazing. Never forget where you came from. Always reach back to help the next person forward, ‘cause you never know when you're gonna need someone, and you never know who's standing right next to you. That is absolutely amazing. Now, another thing that we were talking about is you have some hobbies. You have some very interesting hobbies. \r\n\r\n\r\nRitea Acosta  8:19\r\nVery interesting hobbies.\r\n\r\n\r\nZuri Bracy  8:20\r\nAnd you started off by telling me that you have an artistic brain.\r\n\r\n\r\nRitea Acosta  8:24  \r\nYes ma’am. I started drawing when I was five. My first thing that I was into drawing was Batman, I was really big on Batman growing up. And we watched a lot of TV, and so I was just kind of that kid that, like, if I saw it, I could put it down on paper. So Batman was a thing for a while, and then there was the Simpsons, which was a pretty big TV show when I was a kid. And, you know, I had to, you know, fight and argue with the art teacher at my high school because I was trying to get in. And, you know, going into high school, I didn't really know what I wanted to do. But- so after a while I talked to him, you know, my sophomore year, and he was like, “Well, you know, half the class is full and we got to really know if a kid can, you know, draw and say what you can do. And I have to bring him this portfolio, which I didn't know what a portfolio was, but he explained it to me. I go home and I grab everything I'd ever drawn, you know, from Pre-K and up, and he's like, “Oh yeah, you’re in.” So I get to go in my junior year and my senior year and- you know, it's part of a blessing, you know, having a basketball scholarship, also, at my first school. I was also given an art scholarship too, so it just kind of made everything, you know, a lot more easier financially, for me. So I've been doing art since forever. And I just recently started venturing into tattooing, after I turned twenty-six. And it’s just one of those things, you know, you- it's more about conquering every type of medium, was what I was trying to go for. ‘Cause when I was at college, I learned to paint and, you know, color, and pastel, and, you know, I took metals. We learned how to, you know, make bowls, ceramics and did everything. And so the tattooing might be just the last thing I have to get into. I started cutting hair too, when I was about eighteen, which was another- another art form–to me–that I think I got pretty down. So I cut my own hair, I cut my son's hair. So I just kind of- art is just one of those things I really like doing.\r\n\r\n\r\nZuri Bracy  10:25  \r\nThat is absolutely amazing. Use your whole brain, not just your physical ability. This man is an- a testament here. He has both scholarships: the art scholarship and the basketball scholarship. So that is absolutely amazing. So definitely stay in school. Now you mentioned that you have boys. You have two sons, correct? \r\n\r\n\r\nRitea Acosta  10:43\r\nTwo beautiful boys, yes.\r\n\r\n\r\nZuri Bracy  10:44\r\nTwo beautiful boys. And what is the most important lesson that you teach them?\r\n\r\n\r\nRitea Acosta  10:49  \r\nThe thing that I teach them is to always love each other. That’s the one thing I teach them. That is one of the most important things in life. That and respect. I tell people- the one thing I tell them the most is I have a older brother, and we kind of have completely opposite lives. You know, my brother dropped out of high school early, like–I believe–his junior year. We kind of went alternative lifestyle, he ended up being locked up by the time he was, I want to say seventeen, eighteen. So by the time I was like fifteen, I was without my brother. And, you know, we just- after a while, he got kind of older. You know, he kind of was- you know, fifteen sixteen, he got in the teens, he kind of just wanted to be with the crowd. And I kind of- we kind of separated, and it wasn't me separating, he just kind of wanted to go do his own thing. He didn't have too much time for me. So the thing I try to teach them is, you know- I mean, he's learning it now. He just recently came home in January, and we're trying to spend a lot more time together. But- so the thing I try to teach them is, you know, you only have one brother, you know, and you have to love him regardless, the rest of your life, and never really leave him. So that's the one thing I try to really get to stick with them. I don't want, you know, anything that I had to endure growing up, for either one of them to ever have to experience. So that's the one thing I teach \r\nthem the most. \r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nZuri Bracy  12:04  \r\nThat is absolutely amazing. And when do you go back on tour?\r\n\r\n\r\nRitea Acosta  12:07  \r\nI leave November seventeenth for training camp,and the tour will start, I believe, the twentieth of December.\r\n\r\n\r\nZuri Bracy  12:15  \r\nIn December? Okay, so we have some time to- to learn from you and- and get fit with you out in the park. Now, have your family- has your family always lived here in San Antonio? Are all your generations here?\r\n\r\n\r\nRitea Acosta  12:27  \r\nI believe my grandmother moved out here from Hallettsville. ‘Cause where she’s from, Hallettsville and Schulenberg, we have family up there. But my grandmother, I believe, moved out here, pursued nursing, and she raised my mother and my four other aunts. And she kind of raised all of them, and then everybody just kind of, you know, went different ways. My oldest aunt lives in California now, who's a teacher. She’s blind, but she's also an instructor as well. My second oldest aunt, she passed in 2009. My youngest aunt lives right up the way from me, also. Me and her are like brother and sister, even though she's my aunt; but we can sit and just talk for hours on end. And me and my mother, we had a kinda tense relationship, again, when I was growing up, but we're just now getting to a better place. So I moved her in with me, and we just spend a lot of time together and we talk every other day and, you know, I've been getting her in the church too. So everything is kind of coming together, you know?\r\n\r\n\r\nZuri Bracy  13:26  \r\nIt comes together. And never give up hope on anyone, everything can come together. And you say you live right down the street, not too far away from us?\r\n\r\n\r\nRitea Acosta  13:34  \r\nI’d say literally live, like, right down the street, like–.\r\n\r\n\r\nZuri Bracy  13:36  \r\nYeah, that is absolutely amazing. You just never know. You've probably walked past this man and not even paid attention. And you see everything that he has and the- the influences, the power of influence that he has over other people's lives. It's not all about entertainment. He definitely wants to give back to the community and make a difference through this church and through his other community relations opportunities. So that is absolutely amazing. So what do you like most about San Antonio? What keeps you here?\r\n\r\n\r\nRitea Acosta  14:03  \r\nWhat keeps me in San Antonio? I tell people, “No matter where you from in this world, I think home is always home.” The thing I love about San Antonio is- most people complain about it, but I think it's really just the weather. Like, the weather I really like. You know, college for me was- I was in the state of Kansas for three years. And you know, as long as it's hot out here, it's snowing in Kansas. Like, we got snow from early August, like mid-August, ‘til like late April, like the beginning of May. \r\n\r\n\r\nZuri Bracy  14:36\r\nOh my goodness.\r\n\r\n\r\nRitea Acosta  14:36 \r\nYeah, my freshman year. And it was to the point where, like, it can be perfectly fine in the morning, and you walk in your dorm to change clothes for a class and come out and it's three feet of snow.\r\n\r\n\r\nZuri Bracy  14:47  \r\nOh, I can't even imagine that.\r\n\r\n\r\nRitea Acosta  14:49  \r\nCould not stand it. That and just really the culture, I think, and the people–being as diverse as we are–maybe, you know, one of the other things I love the most about it. I've been- you know, I said I've been to Kansas, and the demographic is like… [laughs] the demographic is like, there's really no variety at all there, so.\r\n\r\n\r\nZuri Bracy  15:06  \r\nYes, not as diverse. \r\n\r\n\r\nRitea Acosta  15:08\r\nYes, we’re very diverse.\r\n\r\n\r\nZuri Bracy  15:09\r\nSan Antonio is like a melting pot. [laughs]\r\n\r\n\r\nRitea Acosta  15:11\r\nYes, very much so. Very much so.\r\n\r\n\r\nZuri Bracy  15:14\r\nThat is absolutely amazing. So basically, the- the message that I've gathered throughout our conversation is the reason that you get back to the community and the reason that it’s important to you is because you had humble beginnings, and you want to be able to reach back and bring ‘em forward.\r\n\r\n\r\nRitea Acosta  15:27  \r\nAnd do the same thing for another kid that wants to, you know, do something more with their life. And my thing is, you know… [pauses] a lot of, you know- a lot of the youth here–especially a lot of us on this side of town, this inner city–they have big dreams, and, you know, we have, you know, big aspirations, but a lot of us don't see anybody who actually did it, you know? But I think, having influential, you know, males around you–’cause we all know what goes on over this way. But there's, you know- there’s a lot of kids that are troubled at home. Having influential people, but more so influential males, and having role models, and people who've actually done things with their lives, is what can change. You know, that’s the make or break for a lot of us out here. And so seeing those things, and, you know, wanting better, there's nothing wrong with that. But, you know, when you have an example that's, like, more relatable to you, and you can say, you know, “Hey, he did it, you know, why can’t I do it?” So that's what really makes me want to, you know, change those lives, you know. If I can do it, any- any kid from over here can do it. There's so much talent on this side of town, it’s ridiculous. I just, you know- you see guys out here that are, you know, homeless that- I seen a guy and–true story–I was li- I was literally downtown and there's a guy standing on the corner, and the dude sings, like. And it was amazing how well he could sing, and it just goes to show you, you know, how much talent is really out here. You know, I like to sing too, and we go and do karaoke, sometimes. And you see older guys, younger guys, and just in general, different people everywhere in different spots that they can sing. And it’s like, nobody- I don't know if they don't have the resources to know who or what to go, or where to reach for it, but, you know, that just shows, like, how much talent is out here. You know, you walk around, you know, you see the graffiti on the walls, and that's- and that's art. And it's amazing artwork, but, you know, it's not- it's not shaped and molded in the right way to be put down on the right canvas to really be appreciated. So there's so much talent everywhere, it's just you have to have those right resources and outlets to get it done.\r\n\r\n\r\nZuri Bracy  17:28  \r\nNow, growing up, did you ever think that you would become a role model to the masses?\r\n\r\n\r\nRitea Acosta  17:33  \r\nMan, growing up, I was just trying to be a kid. You know, I had- I had an imagination and, you know, if I wasn't drawing it down, I was, you know, playing in the backyard, doing it. You know, the whole thing.\r\n\r\n\r\nZuri Bracy  17:46  \r\nThat is absolutely amazing. So is there a message that you would like to share for our youth? Is- it doesn't necessarily have to be the youth, but pretty much when it comes to your pr- your profession, it's probably more appealing to you. Any motivational words or advice to give out to these guys?\r\n\r\n\r\nRitea Acosta  18:02  \r\nJust always believe in you. Believe in who you are, believe in your life, and, you know, feed that fire and let your light shine. Anything you want to do, you can do. There are a lot of things in this world that can trap us, but, you know, those barriers are only in our mind. We can do whatever we want if, you know, we put our mind to it. \r\n\r\n\r\nZuri Bracy  18:21  \r\nThat is absolutely amazing. And that's a beautiful story. And once again, thank you so much for interviewing with us today. \r\n\r\n\r\nRitea Acosta  18:27\r\nOh, thank you.\r\n\r\n\r\nZuri Bracy  18:28\r\nYes, and we are excited. We're going to watching him on television. Definitely go out there and support him when the games come through tours. I don't know if you know the tour schedule just yet–\r\n\r\n\r\nRitea Acosta  18:36\r\nNot yet.\r\n\r\n\r\nZuri Bracy  18:36\r\n–when you end up coming through San Antonio, but when he comes to San Antonio, get out there and go see him, go support him just like he supports you guys. That's very important. And once again, thank you so much for joining us for the 300 Voices series with TAAN TV.\r\n\r\n\r\nTranscribed by https://otter.ai","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://saaacam.aviaryplatform.com/collections/2808/collection_resources/128208/file/239870#t=0.0,1137.40293"}]}]}]}
