    Eating the Universe - A Conversation with Stephanie Cotsirilos

    As we get ready for Thanksgiving, I don’t think we could have a better guest on the show than Stephanie Cotsirilos, actor, author, lawyer and just a lovely person with so many amazing stories to tell.  While Stephanie says the themes underlying her stories are assimilation, displacement and injustice, I think if you look closely enough you will also hear something else.  You will see she is profoundly grateful for her family, her life and her amazing education that took her from Brown to Broadway and beyond! As you sit down to eat with family, loved ones or friends, take a minute to reflect on the universal truths that we are more alike than we are different and that as a part of the human family, we all deserve justice and equality.  I’m so proud of this episode and our conversation with Stephanie.  We know you will enjoy it and please make sure to support her by getting your own copy of her amazing book, My Xanthi. Don’t forget, we are so excited to share our stage with anyone who has a family story, recipe or memory to share so let us know if you are interested in being on our show.  You can comment, DM, email us or call the macaroni fun phone and we’ll make it happen!  We can’t wait to hear from you! #sandwichgeneration #spanish #comedy #familyfun #Genxer Look for us on the following platforms: IG - @everydaymacaroni YouTube - Everyday Macaroni Shop for macaroni merch at https://everydaymacaroni.com/shop/ https://www.stephaniecotsirilos.com/ https://www.instagram.com/scotsirilos/ https://www.facebook.com/Stephanie.Cotsirilos.Author/
