What do a principal of one of the Top 10 largest lobbying/public affairs firm, a physician/Urgent Care founder, a popular Mayor, and a lobbying firm VP have in common…they are all children of immigrants but born in America. LaRuelist Café will feature these four highly successful individuals in dialogue Monday, November 16th @7 pm live on Facebook and YouTube. Our guests: Patrizia Zita descendant of Italian parents, Mayor Gabriel Rodriguez descendant of Cuban parents, Sabeen Masih descendant of a Pakistan and India parents, and Dr. Tamara Boise descendant of Haitian parents have different stories but in many cases the theme is the same. We will explore how their cuisine differed from a typical American meal. Did their parents’ native cultures influence their religious practices and family rituals away from their schooling? And…yes…we will learn the “why” that brought their families to the American shores and if they have any ties or allegiances to their parents’ homeland. Over the last several years, the discussion surrounding immigrants has been extremely controversial with the sole slant being on those who have sought asylum here without documentation. Often lost in the conversation are the hundreds of thousands of immigrants who have entered our borders legally and have raised families in America who hold positions in some of highest levels of our society. In New Jersey, Governor Phil Murphy appointed Fabiana Pierre-Louis, raised by Haitian immigrants, making her the first Black woman and only the third Black Justice on the State’s Supreme Court. Just this November, Americans overwhelmingly voted in Vice President-elect Kamala Harris, daughter of an Indian American and Jamaican-American immigrants. We will discover one success story after another of first generation Americans born to immigrants who have made huge contribution to the building of this great Nation. We must continue to push for fairer policies and laws for all immigrants who arrive in this Country, irrespective of how they arrive on our shores. In this episode, LaRuelist Café strives to remind its viewers of the many faces and circumstances of immigrants as we move forward in yet another era of this discussion in the coming year.

Is it a hoax? Does it only happen to people you don’t know? COVID-19 is real and the Mollinedo family in Trenton, NJ have the pain to prove it. Just a month ago, Aubrey Mollinedo received a call that a colleague had tested positive for COVID-19 and she should get tested. In what seemed like a whirlwind, the nightmare and reality that not only was SHE positive with the virus but she had infected her young adult son and her husband. In less than a month, Aubrey found herself struggling with the virus and mourning the love of her life…her best friend…her husband of eight years. Without the long drawn out struggle with coughing, high fevers, and ventilators…Luis’ health declined within hours as he was rushed to Helene Fuld in Trenton. He was dead within hours. Join us as Aubrey and her son, Amani, tell their story. They are mourning the loss of Luis as they continue to fight this awful disease called COVID-19.

Jeannine LaRue is going to share one of her most intimate moments of grief since the passing of Maria. She purchased an urn for Maria's daughter to keep her remains. Maria's daughter, Joi, gifted Jeannine and Maria's sister Catherine a locket to have a small piece of Maria. Well...the mail has arrived...and Jeannine is alone. So...she's going to open the envelop LIVE on FB. Everyone must grieve in his or her own way. During this pandemic, Jeannine is trying to be just a little bit creative to not go through this by herself.
