Career
[edit]Helena Moreno was born on 28 February 1989 in Luanda, Angola.[1] Her family was poor, and her childhood home was a shack without windows in a shanty town. Despite this, she has stated that her childhood was happy.[2]
Her first television appearance was in 2002, when she had a walk on part in the Angolan telenovela Revira Volta. She appeared again in a telenovela, but this time in an ongoing capacity as Weza Henriques Pereira in Sweet Pitanga. This led to radio work as a presenter for the show Bombástico. Further genre work followed, when in 2012 she was cast as Marisa Lemos in Windeck.[1] She was honoured during a 2014 celebration of Angolan women, alongside Maria do Rosário Amadeu and Nadir Taty for working to improve Angolan culture in the arts.[3]
Outside of entertainment, Moreno has also worked as teacher in the Portuguese language at an American school at both the primary and secondary levels.[1]
Personal life
