Sex & Height Discrimination is a Thing in Hollywood
VOA Episode 3
Guest: Kalena Ranoa, Director, Actress, Model & Super sHero
Ding! Ding! Ding! Coming in at 6’1 spiking volleyballs and throwing 3 pointers from center court (literally) is a superSHERO Kalena Ranoa, the gorgeous multitalented artist from San Jose, CA. Kalena is the epitome of The WERK. She is a storyteller, producer, director, writer, actress, and the list goes on. She’s even a volunteer for the Young Storytellers. How and where does she find the time? Kalena is so busy that it never dawned on her that she did not fit the “hollywood mold.” You know, 5’4 blonde bombshell. But that did not stop this 6’1 beauty from auditioning for the Disney Princess. As a superSHERO, Kalena teaches us how to do the WERK on your terms. In her hilarious new series GIRAFFES, Kalena sends us on a comedic provocative love triangle where three “giraffes” (tall girls) seduce a very someone special who is disclosed on the show.
