What is your favorite thing?
A solid seven hours of sleep. (I have two children under the age of three, so right now I’d settle for a catnap).
What is your favorite city to travel to?
New Orleans. I traveled there for the first time when I was sixteen and I’ve been back about ten times since. I recently read Sarah Broom’s memoir, “The Yellow House”, about growing up in New Orleans East, and it gave me a whole new perspective on the city.
What does your power outfit consist of?
All black everything.
What is your favorite home cooked meal?
My aunt Caridad makes the best picadillo. I requested the recipe several years ago, and I have it tacked on the pantry door. But it’s never quite as good as when she makes it.
What is a hobby that you have had since you remember?
My hobby is not having hobbies. Even when I try to do something leisurely I end up professionalizing it. I don’t know how to do things casually.
What is your favorite Instagram account to follow?
If you’re not following @aminatou then are you even on Instagram? She elevates Instagram stories to an art form.
