Today we’d like to introduce you to Johana Bermudez.
Hi Johana , we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
My name is Johana Bermúdez. I was born in Maracaibo-Venezuela, surrounded by stories, music, family, and that beautiful world only those who grew up in a Latin household can truly understand. From a young age, I discovered I had a natural ability to communicate, connect, and tell stories in a way that touched people’s hearts. That passion led me to study and graduate as a Social Communicator, a degree that shaped my path and gave purpose to my voice.
Like many immigrants, life took me down unexpected roads. Moving to the United States was one of the hardest and bravest decisions I ever made. Starting from zero in a new country came with fear, but also with the certainty that dreams have no borders. Atlanta became my home, and here I realized that every challenge I faced—every loss, every change, every reinvention—was preparing me for something bigger.
That “something” came when Ajá Cuéntamelo was born. What started as a small idea in my heart has become a creative media platform, a community, and a space that inspires, informs, and connects thousands of people. I began with nothing more than a phone, a voice, and a lot of determination. Today, we are a team, a respected brand in Atlanta, and a bridge between the Hispanic community and the opportunities this country has to offer.
I am also the CEO of Joha Productions—an entrepreneur, content creator, wife, and mother in a beautiful blended family that life gifted me. Each role has shaped the woman I am today: more empathetic, stronger, and more human.
I’ve had the blessing of interviewing artists, entrepreneurs, community leaders, and extraordinary individuals who represent the very best of our community. And every story I tell reminds me why I started: because communicating is my way of contributing, helping, and giving back a little of what life has given me.
Today, I continue to dream big. I want to expand Ajá Cuéntamelo across the United States, build projects that amplify our Latino voice, and inspire women—especially those who, like me, once had to start from scratch—to believe that it’s never too late to reinvent yourself.
If there is one thing that defines my story, it’s this: nothing has been easy, but everything has been worth it. And if I’m here today, it’s because I chose not to give up, to trust my intuition, and to embrace who I truly am.
This is me: Johana Bermúdez—a communicator, a storyteller, and a woman still writing her own story, one chapter at a time.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
One of my first and biggest obstacles was understanding that the immigrant path is neither easy nor straightforward. I arrived in the United States with big dreams but very few certainties. I had to adapt to a new language, a new culture, and the constant ache of being far from my home and my people. I learned to trust myself even when nothing around me felt secure.
Another major challenge was proving my professional value in a country where no one knew my work or my background as a Social Communicator. I had to start from the ground up, push open doors that were closed, and create opportunities where none seemed to exist. Many times, I had to fight against doubt, fear, and the feeling of not being enough.
On a personal level, I have also faced loss, moments of pain, and difficult decisions that forced me to pause and reevaluate my path. But each challenge made me stronger. My obstacles became my teachers: they taught me resilience, patience, and the power of reinventing myself as many times as necessary.
If there is something I’ve learned, it’s this:
Challenges don’t come to stop you— they come to remind you what you’re made of.
Thanks – so what else should our readers know about your work and what you’re currently focused on?
I specialize in telling real stories that truly connect. As a Social Communicator and the creator of Ajá Cuéntamelo, I transform events, interviews, and personal testimonies into authentic, emotional content that resonates with the Hispanic community.
I’m known for my warm, human, and transparent communication style. People recognize my voice, my energy, and the way I make every person and every story shine. In Atlanta, my platform has become a reference point for event coverage, interviews, and cultural content.
What sets me apart is that I don’t just inform—I connect. My essence is authentic, my communication is emotional, and my work has purpose. I blend professionalism, sensitivity, and powerful storytelling in a way that gives every piece of content soul and impact.
If you had to, what characteristic of yours would you give the most credit to?
The most important quality behind my success has been my authenticity.
Being myself—without masks and without fear of showing my true essence—has allowed me to connect with people in a deep and genuine way. My authenticity opened doors, gave me credibility, and helped me build a community that trusts me.
Being authentic pushed me to communicate from the heart, to tell stories that touch lives, and to create a space where people feel seen, heard, and represented.
That quality—being genuine, transparent, and true to who I am—has been my driving force, my signature, and my greatest strength on this journey.
