Years of experience as an Author/Counselor: 23 years’ experience in the counseling field.

1.What was your experience publishing your first book? "It was exciting, yet a surreal experience. I had actually wrote my book about 2 years prior to publishing it. I was so thrilled to write a story that is very common and a part of the human experience that I did not even consider how it was going to be publish, whether self-publish or to hire a publishing company to do it, that after the book was complete, I then started thinking about publishing. The process in selecting a publisher was so overwhelming that I put the book on the shelf and didn’t think about it until COVID hit. Like many Americans, we were home and had nothing but time. I thought around April or May that it was time to pick the book up again and research publishing companies. I came across a publishing company that provided the requirements that I was looking for and contacted them, and the rest was history."

4. What have you experienced as a Counselor that has helped you as an author? "As a counselor, I work with so many students and get the opportunity to hear so many stories. A lot of the stories I hear has to do with grief and loss, which encompass more than death. There are approximately over 40 kinds of loss. Some of the more common losses other than death for children are divorce, pet loss, and moving."

SPOTLIGHT ON TALENT: JOHN MGBEMENA

 Q&A: The Interview with John Mgbemena

Today we meet rising star John Mgbemena. John is a multifaceted Actor, Model, and Artist in Atlanta, GA. He has 7 years of experience within the Entertainment Industry, and currently represented by Click Models of Atlanta. John has appeared in various films, commercials, and runway shows throughout his career. Next Media Source had an opportunity to meet the star and to talk about what is next in the future for his career. 

Q: When did you begin your career in Acting, Modeling and Rapping?

A: When I graduated from high school I was an athlete. I played basketball, but I was an extremely timid person. I challenged myself to grow as an individual when I got to College. My freshman year in College was when I began modeling and I didn’t know what to expect at Georgia State University. I did something outside my comfort zone which was a Fashion Show. The success I obtained from modeling; print, magazines, and runway shows allowed my acting and music career to begin in motion. I begin acting next, as I appeared in various films, commercials, and runway shows. After that, I started my music career. Some time later I dropped an album called  “I hate it here” by Caesar. My music is currently on all streaming platforms and with great numbers of listeners. 

Q: What city do you currently reside in? And what do you like most about your current city?

A: I reside in Atlanta, Georgia and what I like the most about my city is that it is a Black Mecca. There is an immense amount of opportunities for those who want success, but you just have to be motivated, driven, and confident within yourself. Last but not least, never give up on yourself and your dreams.

Q: How has the entertainment industry made an impact in your life?

A: Tremendously, from the way I carry myself and the way I act. The industry has its highs and lows at times. The industry has made me more confident, charismatic, charming, and lively. Life has been pretty amazing and interesting. I have elevated not only by my personal characteristics, but physically and spiritually as well. “With great success, comes great responsibility.” A quote that I stick by.

Q: What was your experience like signing to your new Model Agency? Congratulations and keep up the great work! 

A: Thank you. It was a great experience. Its a sign that I am moving in the right direction, and all of my hard work is paying off. Nonetheless, I am ready for it. I am ready to put the work in, do whatever it takes to be successful, and get more bookings from the agency I am signed to.

Q: Tell me about what you love doing the most in the industry. (Acting, Modeling or Rapping)? 

A: Modeling, because it started everything for me. If it wasn’t for modeling, I honestly would not be where I am at today. 

Q: Who is your inspiration and why?

A: My parents and brothers are my inspiration because, we all keep each other motivated and inspired to be the best person we can possibly be. We also hold each other very accountable. Without them, I don’t think I would be as motivated as I am today. 

Q: What do you enjoy in your free time?

A: Working out, traveling, reading, being active, or watching a documentary. I enjoy learning and stimulating my mind, body, and soul during my free time. 

Q: What is next for you in your career that our readers can look forward to?

A: More elevation and growth. By the grace of God, you will see me in more films, commercials, modeling campaigns, and more. I will also be making more music as well. My brother Emandagawd got new music on the way coming this summer. Stay tuned for that. I also got major things in the works as well. I may drop some new music also. God has been blessing me very much and I am very grateful. I pray for more success in my life as a whole, from financially, spiritually, to even physically.
