I love the Day of the Dead because living in California, you know, it’s such an amazing cultural heritage. And also, I knew that African slaves were also in Mexico City, you know. And so, the blending and the mixed blood stew my grandmother talked about, the mestizos, the natives, the African slaves, they all would have got along just fine because they all believe that the living are still alive, that you can honor them, and that they have access that you can sort of like connect with in terms of whether it’s one day or every day of your life.
So, I love the idea that Carlos for the Day of the Dead connected with Jerome’s grandmother and it showed that, yes, that they were unified on a spiritual plane, even though their cultural heritages were very, very different.
