20 years and we still miss you! 

No matter how much I try, I will never forget this day, 20 years ago. I was 10 and my brother was 8 and my mom came home from the hospital with my grandparents to tell us that my dad had passed away. Yes, I cried but somehow I had an intuition earlier that day... Continue Reading →

Kindness in a time of suspicion

Been a while since I posted, because the H4 visa wife now has a column on http://www.shethepeople.tv.

When I went to film school in LA back in 2012, our easy go to meal was pizza - it was cheap, we didn't have to cook and it lasted for a couple of days. Ah to be young and not worry about calories!  One day, during an intense class discussing our scripts, I get... Continue Reading →
