      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.

    Sicilian (American Italians) and black families are so much alike you wouldn't believe it. I an African American and she described my family living room growing up with plastic on all the good furniture and the lamp to the T. Also, meals at my grandmother's house with all my aunts, uncles and cousins. Southern family.

      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.
