Daily Inspiration: Meet Anna Onica-judah

Today we’d like to introduce you to Anna Onica-judah

Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
I was born into a family of professional coaches and Master of Sports. My mother is a professional coach of rhythmic gymnastics, and my father is a professional coach of wrestling, they developed more than 20 Master of Sports each and were prize winners at international as well as National competitions themselves. They both worked in the Olympic Reserve sports schools in Eastern Europe. Later, they opened their own studios here in Encino, teaching beginner-level rhythmic gymnastics, wrestling, and combat classes to future masters of sports. They are incredibly passionate about what they do, and growing up, I witnessed their dedication to educating, teaching, and devoting themselves to the kids they mentored.

I graduated with the highest honors (summa cum laude) from high school and initially wanted to become an interpreter, but destiny had other plans for me. Throughout my youth, I was always performing. I hosted school contests and parties, won a beauty contest, and was a model and a hostess at the fashion shows. My mother ran a Fashion Theater and a school for gifted children, who won the crown of “ Mini Miss World” 5 times. My path took another turn when I was invited to host a TV show in Eastern Europe, and shortly after, I received an invitation to compete in the World Championships of Performing Arts in Hollywood.

I took the opportunity very seriously and prepared with the director of the theater, composers, choreographers, and opera singers as I entered this competition in acting, modeling, and vocal. I became a World Champion in acting and modeling, competing against more than 35 countries worldwide. This event is also called the Olympics for performers.

After that, my life changed. I was invited to work with an agent, becoming a commercial and fashion model, a career I truly loved. However, with my background in finance, I also ventured into the business world by working in corporate America. Leading a Fashion Theater is an integral part of who I am because being creative is my altera natura. I combine these two worlds, and I’m happy about it.

My American dream came true in several ways. The first moment came when, after winning the Championship, I was invited by the President of the Championships, Mr. Griff O’Neil, to host the TV version of this event with American TV host Jeff Kraff. I wore two designer dresses by Mark Zunino, who is known for dressing the stars of The Real Housewives, and jewelry by Nolan Miller, who was the jewelry designer for Zsa Zsa Gabor. America is truly a place where dreams come true. You just need to be ready for it, develop yourself, and then jump on that train.

Luck, I believe, is not random; it is a pattern that you must prepare for. My motto is Per aspera ad astra—through hardships to the stars, to your own stars. And the motto of our studio is: with us, the world of stars becomes closer!

Our program prepares you to be ready for casting calls, photo shoots, and fashion show participation by covering versatile runway techniques, photo training, portfolio creation, self-confidence building, and presentation skills.

Our program also ensures that you are knowledgeable and well-rounded in the fashion world, with a solid understanding of the basic concepts and terminology, allowing you to navigate the industry more confidently.

I feel that being internally motivated is crucial. The ability to focus, stay on track with excelling and developing, and remain inspired—these are the core ideas and visual direction of our studio.

Thank you for the opportunity to share my story. I would be happy to welcome you to our classes and help you take beautiful photos while confidently presenting yourself in life. Join me on Instagram, and let’s grow our positive vibe community together, as we are the creators and directors of our own lives.

With us the world of stars becomes closer!

We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
One of the challenges I face today is the increasing difficulty for kids to detach from digital devices and games. Many parents see my classes as an opportunity to bring their children from the virtual world into the real world. They understand that success doesn’t come easily and that hard work is required to achieve it. In many ways, my classes are like scout camps, but with a focus on fashion and performance, where children learn about competition and personal growth.

To make the experience more rewarding, I’ve realized the importance of creating a system of encouragement. In my classes, progress is measured through the journey from one photoshoot to another, from one performance to the next. However, it’s not always easy. There are moments when challenges arise—such as the music cutting off while you’re on the runway, or accidentally bumping into another performer. Sometimes, a long dress can make walking tricky, or you may lose a shoe in the middle of a performance, and you have to figure out how to handle it. These situations require quick thinking, adaptability, and grace.

What I love most about these classes is that they teach kids not just technical skills, but also how to set goals and overcome obstacles. These lessons go beyond fashion—they help develop character and resilience, qualities I believe are essential for success in any area of

Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work?
Hollywood is a place of opportunities, offering a variety of model types: fashion, commercial, sports, look-alikes, lifestyle, real people, spokesmodels , and beauty models. This market is diverse and expansive.

Experience is key.

That’s why we focus on practice and participate in fashion shows. This sets us apart from other studios, as we believe that practice makes perfect. For me, happiness is about turning on the music and entering that creative mode. It’s about teaching others to find inspiration and sharing my positive energy. That’s what makes me truly happy.

Another thing that makes me happy is constant learning. I’ve always believed that staying curious and continuously expanding your knowledge is one of the keys to personal and professional growth. My academic journey reflects this passion for learning. I earned my first degree in finance before moving to LA, followed by a second one in general business, concentrating on marketing from UCLA once I moved to LA. Right now, I am deepening my understanding of the fashion industry by taking classes in Marketing of the Luxury Fashion Companies from the Italian University.

Music and fashion have always been my passions, and I truly believe that knowing the ins and outs of stylistic identityand brand identity is incredibly valuable in today’s fast-paced world. The fashion industry evolves rapidly, and to succeed in this environment, you need to understand how business works in this sector, how trends emerge, and how the market shifts. This knowledge is not only useful for me, but also for the students I teach, who are eager to gain the latest insights into the fashion world.

That’s why, in my classes, I focus on providing a comprehensive information, equipping my students with both theoretical and practical knowledge, understanding how these elements shape the modern fashion industry is crucial. It’s vital for young talent to grasp how the fashion world operates and how to navigate it successfully. The fashion market is vast, covering everything from couture and ready-to-wear to mass market fashion, and each segment has its own distinct approach to design, branding, and marketing.

In addition to fashion, I always strive to keep my students informed about the latest trends, markets, and the work of top models, photographers, and editorials. I feel that this broad perspective is necessary for anyone looking to succeed in the fashion industry. Understanding how the different elements come together—modeling, fashion, photography, and marketing—helps create a well-rounded individual capable of thriving in the industry. It’s not just about knowing the terminology but understanding how it all interconnects. This interconnected knowledge is what allows you to succeed.

I also have a background in television. I used to host a program called ABC of Successful Brands, where I explored the secrets behind successful business models of some of the most famous brands. The program was designed to be short and to the point, offering practical insights into how successful brands build their identity and navigate the market. These episodes are available on my YouTube channel, where you can get a glimpse of what makes certain brands stand out. I believe these programs provide valuable lessons on business success, offering inspiration for anyone interested in the world of fashion, art, and creation.

Ultimately, I see the fashion world as an intricate web of creativity, marketing, and business strategy, and I am deeply committed to helping others understand its complexities. By constantly learning and sharing this knowledge, I hope to inspire the next generation of fashion professionals to pursue their dreams and make their mark in this exciting, ever-evolving industry.

These classes are not just for aspiring models. The knowledge gained here is valuable for anyone pursuing a career as a fashion designer, TV hostess, business person, interior designer, blogger, or any profession where presenting your product or ideas with confidence is key. In today’s world, the ability to be presentable and communicate effectively in public is an essential soft skill that will serve you well in any field.

We offer classes not only for kids and teens, but also for adults with our new course focused on photoposing, walking with grace, and presenting yourself confidently. The first five people to sign up will receive a 50% discount on a fashion shoot with a professional photographer for their portfolio. This photoshoot will give you the opportunity to put your new skills into practice.

In today’s world, personal branding is key to success—whether in business or in life. Whether you’re preparing for a job interview, need the perfect shot for your business card, dating profile, or Instagram, or want to ensure your wedding photos are flawless, this course is designed for you!

Dont miss this chance to make your photos unforgettable.

Our prices are very reasonable, and I believe we offer some of the most affordable rates on the market. The monthly fee is just $135, which includes one hour-long class per week, covering both theory and practice. We take an individual approach with small groups, and for those who can’t fit into our schedule, we offer private lessons. You can message me on Instagram, and I’ll be happy to find a time that works for you.

What does success mean to you?
Happiness, for me, is like a state of flight—a feeling of spreading my wings and soaring. It’s the spark of inspiration that fuels me, perhaps because I am a creative person at heart. When I am creating, I feel truly alive. And when I teach, seeing my students succeed brings me immense joy. Watching them excel is deeply satisfying, especially when they learn to express themselves fully.

In the world of modeling and performing, we may take different paths, but it all comes down to developing a well-rounded performer. Whether it’s mastering runway technique, perfecting photoposing, or performing on stage, the goal is to build confidence and versatility. My favorite part of the class is the warm-up. When the music starts, it’s like a gateway to creation. We engage different muscle groups, stretch, and incorporate elements of dance and body movement. This helps students gain control over their technique and their bodies because being a model is about more than just appearance—it’s about precision, expression, and presence.

Students need to learn how to move with intention, whether it’s how they turn their head, position their hands, or close a pose. They need to embody different characters—one moment they might be a businesswoman, the next, a celebrity on the red carpet, or even a young lady from a Jane Austen novel. It’s a lot of work, and it requires knowledge of acting, dance, choreography, and the secrets of photoposing.
