Our Voice Kytia continues her interview series here on WitnessLA called “Ambassadors of Action.” As Christians, we are representations of Christ’s love here on this earth and we are called to be His ambassadors. “We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to God.” (2 Corinthians 5:20)
Each of the interviews in this series is meant to highlight how children of God are living as examples and are actively sharing their beliefs with the world (at home, in the workplace, through blogs, etc.). “Ambassadors of Action” are your everyday brothers and sisters in Christ, making a difference in an unconventional way.
In this next interview in the series, Kytia interviews fine artists Daniel Quinones and Melissa Leslie, the founders of MLoveizm Magazine, on redefining what it means to be a Christian in the secular art world and how the obstacles they faced inspired them to start a community for Christian artists and arts fans through their online magazine.

All this week at WitnessLA.org we’re featuring the stories and testimonies of Christians in the entertainment industry. Our friend Nebula Gu shares about her journey of finding her calling into the world of entertainment and creative arts.
Q: Thanks for speaking with us! Could you please share how you are currently involved in the entertainment industry? What kinds of projects have you been working on?
I’m currently wearing a couple different hats in the industry. I’m primarily an actress and host as well as a hopeful singer. Music’s always going to be one of my loves. I also recently became more involved as a producer. One of my current projects that I’m excited about is that I will be acting in and producing a webseries with some very talented and visionary friends. Honestly, I’m looking forward to seeing the script come to life. In terms of other projects, I’ve mainly done a lot of commercial work in the past year. My most recent project was a Wells Fargo commercial, shot over four days, that will begin airing in January. One of the interesting and wonderful things about that project is that my mother was cast in commercial as well. I age throughout the commercial and so she played the older version of me. I thank God so much for allowing her to experience this shoot with me!
