Nevena Milicevic was born on 10 April 1989 and for many years she has been building a successful career in America. However, when the spotlights go off, few know that Nevena is actually a humble girl from the block, hardworking, dedicated, emotional and, above all, a great fighter.

She lived in all parts of the world, toured the length and breadth of the planet, tried in many fields, so consistently her education and the sphere of interests and pretty colorful and rich.

Nevena left warm and carefree parents' home when she was only 14 and met life beyond the borders of Serbia. She graduated from Spanish Language College in Chicago, and then enrolled in a private Art Academy in Miami, and then postgraduate studies in Christianity.

Today she is a successful young woman who grabs ambitiously her dreams and who will stand shoulder to shoulder with Adriana Lima in the documentary film "Knock Out", which follows all that arduous work, but also the obstacles faced by fighter on their way to the goal, whose completion is expected next year.

Nevena lives in Miami-New York-Belgrade and, for many, she is living the dream life. Every day she enriches her knowledge and broadens her horizons, has ordered and healthy lifestyle, practices boxing and is engaged in life-coaching, and in modeling she has long been one of the most famous and successful persons from our region.

We asked Nevena what her typical day in one of the most attractive cities in the world looks like?

- I'm often asked by friends and acquaintances how I conceived the day and time in Miami, and to their surprise, there I live a life less dynamic life than in Serbia. I live in a street in which one of the most famous clubs in America is and I must admit that the last time I went out was early the year. If I do not work, my day consists of training, learning or going to the beach. However, I am always working on some project, even when I am at home. I either learn or write something, I have many ideas and at the same time I deal with different things.

Morning ritual?

- Usually I sleep little and get up early. I spend mornings with my great coach Din Spencer in one of the most famous boxing studios in America, which is not at all fancy, and where Adriana Lima, as well as famous names of boxing champions train, merged by our coach into one group. Hence the second working title of the documentary - "Beauty and the Beast."

- Training lasts for an hour, but often I do two per day. It begins at 9 o'clock, but when I am late (rarely), so I try to sneak in, because our coach is very strict in terms of discipline and other segments of life that characterize winners and champions, or I cheat in some exercise, he shouts: "Serbia, late again!" or "Neva, you cheater!". He is really committed to his work and us.

- Trainings are too intense, especially because they are not divided into male and female, but we all do the same exercises, without any discrimination, pari passu with professional boxers who have several hours of training a day. This is yet another reason why I highly respect my coach, because he is able to move the boundary in each of us, not only physically, but also on the inside, where the greatest struggles of every man take place - said Nevena.

What else can you reveal to us regarding the documentary film "Knock Out", whose shooting is still going on?

- I'm in Serbia now, and when I get back, my part continues from the point where I am at that moment. Many anecdotes from trainings have been recorded, as well as some difficult periods, through which each of us was going. I've heard the producer saying that everyone in this project has one important thing in common, as he called it - that we are lions and lionesses, and that he finds it fascinating that people with such inner strength and specific character gathered in one place.

Being overloaded with obligations and used to a very dynamic life, how Nevena achieves it all?

- In fact, I have no social life. It often happens that in the night I remember I did not prepare or do something, so I get up, do it, sleep again and wake up early. This has not had the best effect on my metabolism, because we all know that sleep is healing and necessary. For this reason, It is pleasant for me to be in Serbia. Staying here relaxes me, even though I came to be productive.

How often do you come to Serbia?

- In the last few years, it was once a year, but I hope that it will be more frequent. I strive to spend a few months in America, and a few months in Serbia, to the extent the projects that require my physical presence somewhere allow.

What does your day in Belgrade look like?

- In Serbia I am overjoyed. Here everything succinctly fulfills me. And my soul is here. Unlike America, the social life is very dynamic, but I manage to both learn and train. With today's technology and good organization of priorities and time, almost everything is possible, regardless of geographic coordinates. For that I am very grateful, because my job does not have to suffer for that.

Although in America she does not go out, Nevena does not hide that she loves a good time with friends in Serbia, and that she prefers her life on the "home" ground.

- I go out once or twice a week and I must admit that this is intensive for me, but it is necessary to see nice people, it fills my heart and brings great joy.

You appeared in the Hollywood comedy "Baby on Board" where you had the role of a seductress, what actually do you have to do with acting?

- When I lived in Chicago, I played in our theater. Just for the role of Kostana I prepared myself for five months, which is one of the latest projects and the premier attended by my mother, who lived with me in America, before she left this world. Now I am preparing an interesting project, on which you will know more on the next occasion.

Nevena’s greatest support was her mother who dedicated her entire life to her and her brother. Unfortunately, she is no longer among us.

- I remained protected by attitudes that are woven into me from an early age, even though for more than half of the life I have been living in the largest cities of the world. All I am I owe to my wonderful parents, and especially to my mother, that I completely dedicated herself to me. Perhaps this contributed to the fact that today I do not accept anything less than that in close relationships. (Laughs)

She leads a healthy life, duly trains and is successful in everything she tries.

- There are things that sometimes I cannot influence, but for everything in my domain and my personal choice I try to be the correct choice - says honestly Nevena.

If you could turn back time, is there a decision that you would now make differently?

- I am satisfied with how I dealt with all that my life prepared for me. These were all necessary periods and experiences without which I would not have essentially been this being who I am today. I've always been honest with myself and made decisions that at that point were in harmony with my soul, no matter what criticism or perhaps misinterpretation of the surrounding I would encounter. Everyone always thought that I should be robbing life, and I always felt I was getting what is mine, which was at that time in accordance with me. I am in peace with my decisions and my life.

While in Serbia, Nevena with her team is preparing a large casting for those who want to follow her steps, no matter whether they are amateurs or professionals.

- Yes, we will give a chance to people who want to deal with matters related to fashion and its production in the final marketing part of the process: models, makeup artists, photographers, perhaps even actors who would like to be engaged abroad or who want to deal with this business and do not know where to start.

- All information will be posted on the newly-posted Facebook page facebook.com/NevenaIsHere and on my Instagram profile @NEVENA. All will be notified timely on the date and place, and if there is more interest, there is a possibility for the casting to be held in other cities in Serbia.

Message for the end?

- The best part of life that you live achieving your dreams, except for the fact that you live a life in which every day you realize some of your new dreams, is that it can you can give that also to someone else. It will also be a motif of the casting.

Nevena Milicevic is preparing lots of surprises, on which she will tell us some next time, and since the most beautiful vacation for her is when she is at home, in Serbia, we heartily wished for her to spend New Year's Eve precicely in Belgrade, with her dear friends and close people.
