Hi, Boys and girls are all fired up.

Hi everyone, you are listening to Radio Cherry Bomb, and I'm your host, Carrie Diamond,

coming to you from Newsstand Studios at Rockefeller Center in New York City.

I'm the founder and editor of Cherry Bomb magazine, and each week I talk to the most interesting

women and culinary creatives in and around the world of food. Today's guest is Uba,

the creator of Uba Hot, a line of hot sauces.

A lot of us got to know Uba this year because she is one of the stars on the latest season

of Real Housewives of New York on Bravo. So this episode is for all you Rony fans out there.

Uba was born in Somalia and moved to Canada at the age of 15.

She's been a model since her teenage years and has worked for Italian Vogue, Gucci, Ralph Lauren,

cover girl, and others. She is also an ambassador for Oxfam, the organization working to eradicate

poverty around the world. I sadly had COVID a few weeks ago and couldn't do this interview.

So my friend Marissa Mullen filled in for me. Marissa is the founder of that cheese plate,

your source for all things cheese information. She's also a best-selling author and has a fun

newsletter called Extra Sharp. So head on over to Substack to subscribe. Stay tuned for Marissa and Uba's chat.

This episode of Radio Cherrybaum is supported by OpenTable. OpenTable is partnering with us for our

Cherry Bomb dinner series, Sit With Us, which highlights amazing female chefs and restaurateurs in the

Cherrybaum Network. Tonight, I will be at Chef Evelyn Garcia's June. When I recorded this last

week, there were a few tickets left, so head on over to June on the Open Table app or website and check

the experiences tab. You can snag a ticket there for yourself or you and a friend. If you come solo,

you'll sit at one of the Cherrybaum community tables. If you come with a friend, we'll sit you together.

Of course. If you are a listener and you're at the dinner, please come over and say hi. We also have a sit-with-us dinner at Chef Camille Baceres-as-you-ar restaurant at Ace Hotel Brooklyn on Saturday, 11-11. That's November 11th. Get your ticket for that on Open Table. Also that day, we have our third annual Cooks and Books Festival. We have great talks and demos and panels planned for you. Amazing folks like
