In this season's "Encore" - online producer/director
of JO LEE Magazine - Danilo Navas - expounds the
power of dreams ~
Igrew up in Nicaragua, Central America, engulfed by
extraordinary home-photography. My father, who
has definitely been a major influence in my life, was
a photographer with a natural disposition for the arts. I
used to help him and my mother develop black and white
film, and to manage the 'photo-studio' in our small town,
Granada. Surrounded by lakes, rivers, mountains and
exuberant vegetation, our tropical country was quite an
inspiration for the keen eye.
As a young man - I always dreamed of speaking foreign
languages. I studied French and English in University
while majoring in Communications, but never thought
one day I would become a citizen of a bilingual country.
The war and the political rage that consumed my nation
during the eighties pushed me and my family to abandon
everything and look for better horizons somewhere else.
Who could have believed, at that moment, that my family
and I would end up in the Far North: in a great place
called Canada.
Finding my niche in this liberal society … wasn't easy.
Challenges existed everywhere. But the opportunities
were there for me to find.
After several years of freelancing in odd jobs, learning the
languages, trying to adapt my body to the inclement
weather - a task virtually impossible for we tropical birds
- I found my niche!
Today, my successes are found as a Web Designer and
Internet Audio-Video Specialist in the corporate financial
industry. My beautiful wife and my two daughters have
been with me all along - supporting me and giving me
strength when I needed it, to keep going - always pointing
toward higher objectives … never allowing me to give
up on my dreams.
On this road of fascinating adventure, my inner/outer
development found YES! International one day, and
proudly became a member of its truly international team.
When the chairman at the helm founded yet another venture
she, too, invited me into the fold.
Now - it is a great satisfaction and pleasure for me to be
working with JO LEE Magazine, one of the most cherished
projects of that visionary we know by the name of:
Jo Lee Mansell.
