The Power of the New York Accent | Cawfee Tawk with Tara Cannistraci

This week on Cawfee Tawk, Tara Cannistraci is celebrating the power of the iconic New York accent—because it’s more than just a way of speaking, it’s an attitude. Tara dives into the story of Onijah Robinson, a New Yorker making waves all the way in Pakistan. With her fearless confidence and unmistakable NY energy, Onijah is demanding change—and the world is listening.

Tara breaks down why that bold, straight-shooting New York style commands attention, whether you’re in the Bronx or abroad. Plus, she shares her own love for the accent that says, “I mean business” without needing to raise your voice (…but let’s be real, we probably will).

So grab a cawfee and join Tara for a funny, heartfelt, and proud celebration of the NY attitude that can’t be ignored.
