We had the good fortune of connecting with Kruz Valero and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Kruz, what role has risk played in your life or career?
I think taking the risk to go all out for your dreams is more important than anything else, sometimes we can be scared of what the future holds but just trusting your intuition is more important than doing something you are not happy with. take that first step and follow your heart, there is a reason why you can’t stop thinking about what you want!

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
I am an Actress and Photographer so I love everything about the arts, what sets me apart is that I am Unique, outgoing Venezuelan girl that loves helping and inspire others. America has shown me that I can become anything I want to be I like all types of cultures and I love people, I have been in the film Industry for almost two decades and I understand it better than when I started but a lot has changed, after so many times being on set working with so many wonderful talented artist I’ve have learned so much on what I love doing and what I don’t want to do.

I am most proud that I have done everything I wanted to do, I’ve done industrials, Commercials, Print jobs, TV, and Films, modeling, Voice Overs, and is a dream come true, I’ve done them in English and Spanish.
I got to Atlanta, Georgia when I was 15 and I didn’t speak English it was hard, I cried for weeks missing my best friends brother and dad back home.
It was extremely hard learning a new culture and a new language but everyone was so nice that I didn’t want to loose this one in a lifetime opportunity
The lessons I learned along the way is to Never Ever give up! always go with what you love always do what you want, don’t listen to others because you might miss out on your chance.

I want the world to know if I can do it so can you!

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
I would take them to the parks like Sweetwater State Park, Stone Mountain, Jekyll Island, the Okefenokee Wildlife refuge, I will take them to the awesome festivals we have around town, The Air shows, car shows and end up with our museums and Historic Sites. 

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I want to give a Shoutout to all my family and friends for always being there for me.
