With artonthemart, half a dozen participants in the short film Billiken talk about the famous south-side parade that shaped their lives.
From there we organized. It was six of us, and we started doing talent shows all over the city. It seemed like every talent show we went to, we would run into five or six other kids, like, “Hey, how can I join in with you all?” We swelled—our numbers went over 100. Every year, for the Bud Billiken Parade, we’d dance with—the minimum was 100.Bringing Out Talent was formed off of my mom’s group, which is SSF: Silver Star Fires. I changed the name, changed the style a little bit, changed the swag.
We were known by U-Phi-U, but once we became incorporated, we became the Untouchable Unity Dance Troupe. We actually had a not-for-profit. These people helped us—they helped us be able to get into the Park District, because now we had paperwork and documentation that was behind us, that we represent well enough that we were able to now do this thing on a professional level.During the summer, we normally have a peak; I have maybe 100 kids.
