00:00I was born into the hospitality.
00:01So at the age of three or four, my dad would say I was trying to go to the refrigerator,
00:05trying to grab a glass or water.
00:07And I kind of grew up in the industry.
00:10So when I went back to my parents, I was there for nearly a decade.
00:15When I returned back, I feel an outsider, a country that I was born in.
00:20I didn't speak English. I didn't understand the culture.
00:22I miss kindergarten, older to 8-year-old.
00:25And I was learning Quran, which we write from right to left.
00:29You know, not left to right.
00:30So it was a lot of adjustment.
00:32But I find myself spending a lot of time with my mom and making up for lost time
00:37because being in the kitchen.
00:39So by me being in the kitchen with my mom, I learned more about her, about life, about food.
00:48And that was my inspiration to continue living the life I'm living now, which is being a chef.
00:59And I was trying to
01:12Help me out a little bit.
