Don’t be ashamed of your authenticity.
Jana N. Nagase is a film critic, columnist, and podcaster originally from Sao Paulo, Brazil. She is a member of the Critics Choice Association & Film Independent, and Brazilian International Press Association.
Since 2012 she has supported the community with the columns she writes for Gazeta News, the biggest Brazilian newspaper in the US based in Florida. This year, her YouTube channel “Jana on Camera” celebrates its 10th anniversary. Jana on Camera provides behind-the-scenes interviews with artists from big studios, independent studios, and Latino newcomers in the entertainment industry.
Jana shares her success and how she overcame many of the hardships that immigrant women face in trying to navigate the entertainment industry. She reveals her process of securing red carpet interviews from celebrities and addresses the level of preparation that’s required.
Jana created a business from what she loves doing the most, despite many people telling her she didn’t have the right ‘look’ for this field of work. Naysayers can say what they want, but this tough lady proves that love, authenticity, and following the principles of good journalism can truly make miracles happen.
The most important thing is to trust yourself and not let anybody else tell you who you are! Jana’s advice is to hold on to who you are in your heart and don’t change your essence or your accent - for anyone!!
