She has a Certificate Program in Entertainment Studies and Documentary Production from UCLA.

As she says&nbsp;interviewing some genocide survivors was not easy but it was important for being able to share those stories and give a new message of awareness of the past and hope and forgiveness for the future especially to all of those people that don't acknowledge Africa and its story and culture.</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Vanessa wrote, directed and edited Get Together Girls, the story of an Italian woman who quit her job in Italy to move to Kenya to start a tailoring project for former street girls.
