It’s been nearly three weeks since reality star Big Ang lost her battle with cancer and I’m still torn up about the fact that she’s gone. Big Ang and the rest of the cast of Mob Wives represent an important shift in the way that I view and I wanted to talk a little bit about that journey today since tonight marks the final episode of Mob Wives and the last time we’ll see Big Ang on TV.
I’ve been a freelance writer for almost ten years so I’ve had a lot of gigs along the way. One of them was writing for an Italian-American newspaper. I remember sitting in on an editorial meeting sipping wine and eating pizza and just soaking it all in. When the editor started to describe the mission of the paper, I distinctly remember him going off about how we needed to represent Italian culture different than what was being shown on TV: mainly Jersey Shore, Real Housewives of New Jersey and soon to follow Mob Wives.
