My bedroom was pretty cramped on this day. Say hello to the Goza Twins, Mikela and Jillian, the Filipino-American dynamo duo who’ve inked campaign deals with globally recognized brands such such as Meta, Lululemon, Target, and Vans.
The twins grew up in Murrieta (where another Filipino American superstar Olivia Rodrigo was born heyy), an inland-empire city in California known for its picturesque landscape, but not for its entertainment. Mikela and Jill had dreams of becoming well known figures in the commercial and entertainment industry, and made frequent 3+ hour round trip commutes to castings in Los Angeles. “It was for a lot of stuff that we didn’t get either,” Mikela admits during our conversation.
Most people associate the Goza Twins as an identical pair, but Mikela and Jill emphasize how they are their own unique individual. They spent a period of time separated due to their parents’ divorce, but overtime, found their own passions and creative sparks. Jill has dreams of appearing in films and TV shows; Mikela plans to own her own fashion and beauty businesses.
Enjoy this episode with double the guests but double the fun 👯♀️.
Cheers 乾杯 🍵,
Melissa 以欣
