They come out honest.\nIn this episode, Russ reflects on his long relationship with Jackson Heights, shaped through family, food, and the quiet intimacy of everyday life. His voice moves between languages and memories, touching on what it means to belong somewhere through the people you love and the meals that stay with you.\nEnglish Translation\nMy name is Russel.\nI’ve been here for about 21 years. I really came to know this place because I was married to a Colombian woman. She is very beautiful. We have been together for almost 20 years.\nShe is from Colombia, and through her, I discovered so many things here. I think about the food a lot. Eating rice, different dishes, pork, things like that. Some of the food reminds me of Haitian griot, even if it’s not exactly the same.\nThese flavors, these meals, that’s what I remember most about being here.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/j60CGeL7RJlzfbZy2TLIdL_H6uy50eyMBWC14ZVAJlk/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS85MDFi/NTZlN2QxNDRjZTBj/OTlmMmI3YmY5NWYy/NTAwNy5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
