I remember my mom dressing me up in Indian outfits every Sunday before church. I guess I was too young to express how these outfits were way to itchy in a high stakes game of freeze tag. (Submitted by Sonny)
I'm An Immigrant
This site is dedicated to those of us who are or grew up with folks fresh of the boat. If you or your parents are immigrants we want to share your family's immigrant artifacts on this site.
WE WANT YOUR SUBMISSIONS!
Please send photos and/or videos to immigrantsubmissions@gmail.com
Include a note of who/what is in the pic/video. And please let us know if you want to be anonymous.
(scroll down for more info)
WHAT TO SUBMIT? You know things like: old pics of a young you forced to wear ethnic garb, photos of your mom's religious statue collection, videos of your loud large holiday dinners, snapshots of your dad's super ethnic moustache, etc.
Who are we?
We're Giulia Rozzi, ( comedian, actress & writer) and Elena Rozzi Pellegrino (psychotherapist & actress) two first generation Italian American sisters. As kids, having foreigner folks made us feel like weirdos, but as we got to know other people who grew up in immigrant households we realized we all had a lot in common. We created this site so that instead of being embarrassed by our ethnic eccentricities we can share them, laugh at them, and love them!
Also helping with this project is Sonny Parmar an Indian American actor, singer, and Giulia's beau.
