LaConco Reflects on Her Journey to Becoming a TV Producer: “I Have Wept a Lot”
Reality TV star-turned-producer LaConco recently achieved a significant milestone, winning her first SAFTA Award for Best Television. In an emotional social media post, she expressed her disbelief and gratitude for the recognition, writing, “I’m still numb, full of gratitude for the love you’ve shown me since the day you learnt of me.” LaConco, who had never imagined winning such an award, dedicated her success to her supportive family.
Reflecting on her transition from being on-screen to working behind the scenes, LaConco shared that her journey as a television producer has been both challenging and rewarding. “It’s been over a year on this journey, and it’s taught me patience and the importance of making difficult decisions,” she wrote. “ONE DAY the world will get to see the stories I have to tell.”
LaConco also emphasized the difference between being an on-screen talent and an executive producer. “Being on-screen and being behind the scenes are two completely different worlds,” she said. “I’ve worked hard and shed many tears along the way.” She ended her post with a Bible verse, Matthew 11:29, reflecting her faith and the strength that has guided her through her journey.
LaConco’s journey from reality star to award-winning producer is a testament to the power of perseverance and passion. With her first SAFTA in hand, the sky is the limit as she continues to carve out a new chapter in the entertainment industry.
