Interview with Janet A. Leigh on Digital Spy

I think what's interesting is how much Sarah, the character, is attempting to define herself outside of her culture – you know, the culture she was raised in; the neighborhood she was raised in. 

She did that, and got to exercise who she was out in the world, and then bring that raw form back to her place of origin. 

I think the thing is, we want to be able to define ourselves, right? We are so tired of having the world define us. -- Nana Mensah

Synopsis (digitalspy.com)
Queen of Glory follows the story of Sarah, who must juggle familial and cultural expectations during one of the hardest times in any adult's life, the death of her mother. With this delicately humorous story, Nana tackles the difficulties first immigrants feel as they struggle to straddle two worlds, asking two very important questions: What do we owe them? Versus what do we owe ourselves?
