Our story begins with Dad, a Polish survivor of WWII who endured the unimaginable and still managed to raise seven kids without ever losing his sense of humor (or his ability to fix anything with duct tape). Then there’s Mom, our Irish Rose, who danced her way from Ireland to England and into Dad’s heart at a military ball. Together, they immigrated to America with our sister Maria, chasing the dr
eam—and landed in Northeast Minneapolis, where we became “that European family” with the loud house, the strong opinions, and the best pierogi on the block. We’re diving into a delicious blend of hilarious family memories (yes, someone always cried at Christmas), meaningful connections (we’ve got stories that’ll hug your heart), and community spirit (because first-gen families don’t just survive—they throw block parties). Each episode uncorks our latest Happy Hour discoveries and explores the Que Sera moments that shaped us—those “well, that happened” twists that only make sense in hindsight and with a glass in hand. So pour yourself something good, pull up a chair, and join the sisterhood. We’re here to laugh, cry, and celebrate the beautiful mess of being First Gen.
