Bosses aren’t born, they’re “Made in Staten Island.” Staten Island was home to New York’s most notorious mafia families. Now, a new crop of hustlers has emerged in MTV’s “Made in Staten Island,” premiering Monday, January 14th. The coming-of-age series follows eight Staten Islanders as they battle each other, and the odds, to step out from the shadows and change the reputation of the island. These friends will either choose wisely, or fall prey to the mistakes of past generations.

Karina has a mafia bloodline and attitude to match. Luckily, she has the guidance of her grandfather, Sammy ‘The Bull’ Gravano, and mother Karen Gravano of “Mob Wives.”

Christian "C.P." is a lover and a fighter. He has a big heart and swag that makes all the girls swoon.

Talk with both about growing up in Staten Island and paving a new path for themselves.
