Guest: Anita Prasad
Join us for an inspiring story of resilience and ambition with Anita Prasad, a woman who transformed her life from beauty pageants to the vibrant world of music and production. Anita's journey began in Fiji and took her to New Zealand, where she represented her new homeland in international beauty competitions. A chance encounter in Miami ignited her musical passion, leading her to overcome visa restrictions and criticism as she pursued her dreams. Her persistence paid off with her music finally hitting the airwaves on Kiss FM, showcasing the power of tenacity and courage.
Anita's story doesn't stop there. She took a bold step by leaving a secure accounting career in New Zealand to start fresh in Melbourne, founding her production company, the House of Entertainment. Despite the financial and emotional sacrifices, Anita's 14-year journey is a testament to her determination and the challenges she faced in an industry riddled with gender and racial biases. Through candid insights, she shares the importance of equality and the reality of starting anew in a foreign land, offering hope to aspiring creators everywhere.
Balancing work, health, and success is no small feat, yet Anita manages to do so with strategic planning and a supportive network. She opens up about the importance of genuine communication and building meaningful relationships, especially in an industry that often undervalues women. Her advice extends beyond her personal experiences, encouraging women to seize opportunities in leadership roles and break through barriers. Anita's journey reminds us all of the power of persistence and the human spirit's capacity to overcome life's challenges with purpose and determination.
