Season 2 continues with award-winning writer, actor, and producer Veronica Reyes-How. Veronica began her career in technology consulting—until a decision to attend an open-call audition led her to book the national tour of Rent.
In this episode, we talk about her journey into acting and writing, the power of calling out giftings in others, and how pivotal encouragement shaped her life and career. Veronica shares how she found a deeper vision for her work—one rooted not in personal success, but in blessing others in the film and TV industry.
We also talk about creativity, calling, and the doors that open when we’re willing to take bold steps into the unknown. Veronica now leads her own production company, Pinoy Cinematic Universe, where she’s creating original stories that inspire, elevate underrepresented voices, and bring meaningful narratives to life.
