Nana Ponceleon stops by The Roundtable to talk about her powerful role in Clika, a film centered on music, identity, and the pull between ambition and family. Nana plays Mari, the devoted mother at the heart of the story, grounding the film with warmth, resilience, and hard-earned wisdom. We dive into how Clika reflects real cultural experiences, the rise of corridos tumbados, and why this story feels especially timely right now.

In our conversation, Nana opens up about portraying motherhood on screen, the emotional weight of telling stories rooted in community, and what it means to represent strength without perfection. We also talk about her journey as an actress, trusting your instincts, and why there truly are no shortcuts when it comes to dreams — on screen or in real life.
