especially Windeck and Jikulumessu he has also participated in productions in Brazil, Nigeria and has made appearances all over Africa. Similarly Coréon has also been credited with mentoring Micaela Reis. The former Miss World Africa and Miss World runner up was motivated to start her acting career when Coréon invited her to audition for RTP's Voo Directo. Her very first acting role surprised critics in Angola who often discriminated her talents due to her beauty pageant curriculum. Her role in Coréon Dú's Windeck has made her a star all over Africa and the African diaspora where she often is called "Africa's favorite villain" for her role as Victoria Kajibanga the main villain of the show. She also participated in several Angolan and Portuguese theater productions before pursuing a bachelor's degree in acting and film-making at the New York Film Academy in Los Angeles and currently stars in the Portuguese FOX affiliate Mundo FOX series Maison Afrochic produced her Windeck colleagues Freddy Costa and Portuguese actress Grace Mendes . Lesliana Pereira is another actor that credits Coréon and his team's guidance with being instrumental to her professional growth. After having won Miss Angola, she hosted a slew of infotainment programs. However, Pereira strived for more. She was asked to audition for Coréon's production of the historical drama Njinga: Queen Of Angola (Njinga – Njinga: Rainha de Angola). According to an anecdote by the actress, Coréon challenged her to start preparing for the role by removing her hair extensions and stop relaxing her hair which she claims was a shock at first, but really allowed her to connect with the essence of the character on a deeper level even before the production team provided her with additional acting coaching and training for the stunts and combat choreography she needed to perform as Queen Njinnga Mbandi. In addition to having done a cameo appearance at Coréon's Jikulumessu, Lesliana Pereira has since then appeared in productions by Brazil's telenovela juggernaut Rede Globo. She has also been working as both host and producer on local Angolan television shows. Coréon Dú's mentoring work has also been recognized by numerous local young TV professionals froberts, local dance and music artists in Angola who have participated in his various projects including Bounce, I Love Kuduro, Angola Encanta, Eu Na TV and others whose careers he has launched, many of whom still consider him a trusted professional advisor.
