Our latest and greatest episode features Ilana Pe\\xf1a, my fellow South Florida sister. We grew up near each other, hanging out in the same mall (when that\\u2019s what the cool kids used to do) and we only pieced all of this together decades later after meeting here in LA.\\xa0

So yes Ilana holds a special place in my 954 heart.\\xa0

The two-season series has been called a \\u201cmust-watch\\u201d by Parade, \\u201cwholly charming\\u201d by The AV Club, \\u201cconsistently sweet, authentic and humorous\\u201d by Remezcla, won "Best Latinx Show" from the Latino Media Awards in 2021, and was nominated for a GLAAD Award in 2021 and 2022.\\xa0

She was named as a 2020 recipient of Forbes 30 Under 30: Hollywood and Entertainment, and honored in Variety\'s 2021 Inclusion Impact Report. Wow! \\U0001f929
