Making the jump from radio to film is a path many attempt, but few master. Tana Egbo-Adelana didn't just transition; she conquered. Bringing the same work ethic from the studio to the movie set, she became a sought-after actress known for her emotional range and poise.
In 2017, her hard work reached a new peak when she was crowned Best Supporting Actress at the City People Movie Awards. Whether she is playing a lead role or a pivotal supporting character, her presence elevates the narrative.
"Influence is about more than popularity; it’s about the standard you set for those coming after you. Tana represents a standard of pure excellence."

Tana’s journey is a masterclass in adaptability. In an industry that often tries to box talent into a single category, she has thrived by remaining consistent yet ever-evolving. She reminds us that:
Skills are Transferable: The discipline of live radio can build the foundation for cinematic greatness.
Growth is Purpose-Driven: Moving between industries requires a clear vision of one’s own potential.
Relevance is Earned: Staying at the top for over two decades requires constant self-reinvention.
