You know what's funny?
I've actually never asked them.
You know, it was just, you know, they were, he was very protective of my sisters.
Okay, yeah, I'm sure.
Yes, that.
And he just, you know, they were way more educated.
And, of course, he nurtured them.
With me, he was a little more tough love, for sure.
Well, you know, on both sides of my family, I'm extremely grateful of my heritage.
I'm Colombian and Italian, but, you know, my mother's side, I just, I'm going to say like 30 days ago, I went and visited my grandfather.
He turned 99 years old.
And I said it to myself, I wrote it down, I was like, my grandfather's turning 99 this year, I don't care what I'm doing, I don't care what interview, I don't care who wants to pay me for anything, what business opportunity there is, I am going to see my grandfather to help celebrate his 99 and ask him,
these questions about immigrating to this country.
And, you know, I'm second generation and I just feel like, you know, my mom's, you know, parents, my grandparents, they came here, you know, with that typical immigrant story with nothing.
My grandfather came here first, then he sent back for my grandmother and my mother.
My mother was born in Colombia.
and she came here.
So I think that work ethic and just the appreciation for being here and making and building a life is instilled in my mom.
So I really think about that and that's what really drives me.
But it was the moment that I saw my mom working seven days a week in a supermarket.
