She is an educated woman who wants the best for her children but doesn't hand them opportunities on a silver platter. She believes in encouraging them to work for what they want in order to achieve their goals, but she definitely rides a moral high horse and is right there by their side to aid them when an injustice has taken place - whether they want her involvement or not!

Introducing Ramona Milano
A gifted and successful actress, an inspiring teacher, an extraordinary business woman, a talented chef, an aspiring director & a loving wife & mother of two sons; this is Ramona Milano, the ultimate multi-tasker.
The unstoppable and passionate Ramona always seems to find a way to handle herself with strength humour and determination. She credits her sense of strength and humour to her two female role models, her amazing Portuguese Vava (grandmother) and her beautiful mother. Ramona was raised in Toronto surrounded by her father’s male dominated relatives from Calabria. “I was the only granddaughter in a Southern Italian family, whose regional motto was, ‘figlio masc.’ meaning; ‘male children!’ At the age of five I had to deal with a spoiled little brat bully son of a family friend who repeatedly tested my limit of tolerance. In a fit of rage I managed to pin him against the wall with my scrawny little arms and 70 pound frame. With intense force I had him crying and begging for mercy. His protective mother ran out screaming along with my shocked Nonna (grandmother). Both women were appalled by my inexcusable unlady-like behaviour. I simply looked the bully in the eye and warned… ‘if you ever touch me again, I’ll finish you off’. Needless to say…. he never touched me again. I was always a fierce protector of my little brother Greg…….though Greg claims that I fended off other bullies so that I could torture him myself…whatever! And I’m the actress?! Pssh.”
