Yes and Quinta is doing a great job seeing their talent and exposing it on screen. Like Mr Johnson is a comedy star, and she took a chance on him when he’s not known or barely. I really appreciate that.

As an East African she described my family to the T. That’s exactly how it was at my house too growing up in a East African Muslim family. On the weekends all my uncles, aunties and cousins would come to our house and from morning time to midnight my mom and all the women would be cooking none stop. Watching my mom make yummy food made me a good cook. I love the similarities between cultures!

It’s funny I am also an Italian American, but from a totally different culture over from the north. And I spent most of my life in Italy, surrounded by real Italians. And it’s so interesting to see what is universally Italian, what is Sicilian or Napolitano that has come over and what is just this specific Italian American, New York culture that has grown on its own.

My Jewish grandma had that room. It's the one where my 3 sisters and I sat awkwardly on the piano bench for family photos. When both grandparents passed, my sister took the couch and chairs, (I took the marble tables and "the lamp") and once she removed the plastic, the fabric responded to actual oxygen by quickly disinegrating...

These cultural "stereotypes" transend many ethnicities. My Eastern European grandma took the plastic slipcovers off for special occasions and I do believe the lampshades were covered. Her recipes were never written down. Her "measuring cups" were her hands and labelled: a little bit, not too much, and that's too much:)
