Who taught you to throw salt over your shoulder when you drop it? Why is your favourite meal oxtail soup? Where did you learn about unconditional love? And who made that patchwork quilt on your sofa?! ๐ค
Thereโs something special about the nonnas, zeidas and babushkas whoโve shaped not just the generations that followed them, but Australia itself.
We've just dropped the trailer for a new we've made for SBS Australia, starring comedian Lizzy Hoo (yep, Chinese-Malaysian, Irish-Australian heritage! ๐ซ)
Lizzyโs keen to learn about the grandparents of some of your favourite Australians - like broadcaster Linda Marigliano nonna, journalist Patrick Abboud's teita, food writer Alice Zaslavsky baboushka, and actress Pia Miranda's nonna.
On Grand Gestures, youโll get to the heart of our inter-generational connections.
"I remember when I was a ratty teenager and my Babushka Raya was more like my second mum... I remember her saying to me, 'One day I will be gone and you will regret this'. And she was so right." says . โค๏ธ
