Hey,

It's a site about me:

Little Jana Writing

I've always been a creative person and was a storyteller before I ever knew a written language. Everything I do creatively, I am self-taught, including video editing, screenwriting, painting, and art. I love reading and learning. I am part of that strange millennial group that still believes in books for research. I crave mental stimuli and love a challenge. Just because I don't know now, doesn't mean I can't figure it out. Just give me a minute. (Seriously, IKEA furniture is not that hard, people.) Nothing is impossible. This realist has fully embraced that this truth includes dreams. 

I'm Jana Monteiro. I'm originally from Rhode Island and am a proud Cape Verdean-American. I am a writer, a painter, an ACTIVIST, an auntie, a Survivor, a coffee addict, and a hard worker. I have spent my entire adult life working in offices, doing administrative work and hospitality, because the cynic in me believed in plans rather than dreams. Now, I've realized that you can plan to make your dreams a reality.

 

So here I am, dream chasing at full force.
