Open Doors, Open Hearts: Narine Minasyan on Armenian Hospitality and Identity
Born and raised in Glendale, Narine Minasyan grew up in a home that was always full—of family, food, music, and celebration. As a first-generation Armenian-American, her earliest memories are shaped by a house that served as a landing place for relatives from across the diaspora, reflecting the deep-rooted Armenian values of hospitality and community.
In this episode, Narine shares how those experiences shaped her identity—from the influence of her grandfather, a Genocide survivor, to the pride she carries in representing Armenian culture in her work as a producer and children’s book author. Through her series The Adventures of Andre and Noemi, she creates space for Armenian stories in modern storytelling, ensuring the next generation sees themselves reflected.
Her story is a reminder that being Armenian isn’t just about where you come from—it’s about how you gather, how you give, and how you keep the culture alive.
