S3:E8 - Actor/Student Anastasia

somindboggling journeys

Anastasia and I met on the set of NORK (2022), a new project about two friends chasing the American Dream with the goal of helping their community in Newark, New Jersey. This project is Anastasia's first lead role, and she was an absolute pro. A current student at NYU, Anastasia joined Somindboggling Journeys all the way from Madrid. She takes us through her love for Cheetah Girls 2 and Bridgerton, her thoughts on going to NYU for acting, and what she is manifesting for the next phase of her career.
