When I started making pizza, I was 19 years old and had just moved to New York. I didn’t really know what I wanted to do with my life.
Back in Italy, I had never seen a female pizzaiola to look up to, so I never imagined this could become my career. Here in the U.S., there were already incredible women doing amazing things, but I was young, barely spoke English, and didn’t fully understand the impact they were having.
Today, things are different. We are a bigger community, and that makes me happy.
What’s important to me is that the next generation has something I didn’t have: people they can look up to, learn from, and relate to. If my journey can help inspire even one young woman to follow her passion, then it’s all worth it ❤️
