For Milana Brown, a 24-year-old Georgian, media is about making an impression, not only about flashy lights and red carpets.
From high school TV segments and school talent competitions to red carpets and live-streamed interviews with prominent figures in the industry, Brown has gained popularity as "DH Barbie". She is making a name for herself in the media industry by taking risks and seizing opportunities rather than waiting for them to present themselves.
“I’ve always had a thing for being in the spotlight,” Brown said. “That’s just always been me. But I’ve also always had a love for people. So growing up, I was always in talent shows, modeling, dancing—always in some type of spotlight, always being recorded or on a stage.”
Brown's media career started in earnest at South Cobb High School when she and a friend, Aaliyah, were given their own program on Eagles TV, the school's YouTube channel, by her audio-video technology instructor, Aisha Davis. With its cheeky title, "And That's Just That on That," the show grew popular among peers.
