"You were our song. You were our wish and our dream come true," Kokum and Nonna each whispered to their granddaughters. Nonna and Kokum play an important role in shaping the lives of their granddaughters. With loving commitment, both grandmothers guide their granddaughters through their own people's unique customs and traditions. Spiritually driven, the Indigenous people accentuate the importance of respecting Mother Earth. Their deep ties to the land are celebrated often. The Italian grandmother emphasizes their own unique ties to the land, their cultural celebrations, and their family values. Through a shared love for storytelling, each matriarch hopes to pass down their culture. We all come from a distinct culture-or a blend of cultures-which defines us. Taking a closer look at these two cultures highlights how similar we truly are!

Marisa Agostini was born in post-World War II Italy and immigrated to Canada in 1958, where she built a fulfilling life despite the challenges of adapting to a new culture. She is a retired educator with more than forty-five years of experience in teaching in both Catholic and public schools. Marisa's career has also included teaching Italian and working as an interpreter, helping to bridge connections between cultures.

She lives in Toronto, where she continues to embrace life's adventures, enjoying reading, theatre, and time with her family.
