“I'm Armenian, both of my parents are Armenian, but I actually - I'm probably not the best person to talk to about all these things, because I don't have a good sense of, like, who came from where….My grandparents I actually don't know, probably Turkey, but you know they moved so much. It was all very nomadic, right? Because of the, you know, being persecuted.”

“I was allowed to argue and fight. I fought at school all the time. I think I was already a social worker. My parents were never told I was a bad kid or behaviorally aggressive. Kids fight, that’s it.”

"My mother always tells me, to this day, she still wishes she had sent me to finishing school and she also, she was just saying, "I don't know how you're going to get married you don't even know how to cook chapati." or any of these traditional foods. She thought that would be the end of me, my ruin.”

“I think my dad had me pretty early, he was probably like 18, 19 something like that…We're pretty close. Almost like friends. He really enjoys hanging out with me. And that's amazing, I love that. I see many people [in the U.S.] have kids later on in life and they always say to me I don't have much time to spend with [my kid] and that's kind of sad. I wish that I have a lot of time with my kids so I don't miss out on so much of their life."
