“Perhaps it’s more comfortable to speak of someone’s positive light once they’re gone than to preserve that light by confronting their demons with them while they’re still living?”- BW • Just a thought, but it’s deeper than saying “I love you” while folks are still living that’s just the start. If you see my light fight with me to keep it. That’s real love. It’s a shame to say someone was turning the corner when they’ve already taken their last breath. For those I love, I’ll work to help you turn those corners while you still have the time! I don’t need your fatality to see the brilliance in you. Longevity is my goal always and a full life is what we all deserve! (new content coming your way soon as I continue to digest)

Now that Pt. 2 is over I can OFFICIALLY bring the sentiments (y’all know I’m emotional) perhaps this was one of my BEST birthdays in a looooong time, the last 2 days were everything I needed spent time with some beautiful people who brought some beautiful energy! I can only hope that 23 continues to feel like this! TY to everyone who showed love! S/O to my parents for making it do what it did to CREATE A LIL GEMINI ( y’all 2 the GOATS fr) and lastly but always most important TY Father God for another year! Like my sweet grams reminded me, you brought me through 22 throughout this lifetime + into eternity may we travel together 🤞🏾❤️ -baby bri takes over 23 👅

6.8.95 Jordan year (bron-bron year) HAS commenced 💖✨ Ps I don’t have any photos but I wanted y’all to see my makeup bc MAC tried to play me so I had to give my skills a lil test drive

Ya know when you’ve just finished a smooth little shout and you think the Bishop is ready to come give you that word but then you hear the bass line to Fred Hammond’s “BLESSED” and your favorite tenor Brother Franklin diddy walks to the pulpit and smoother than Barry White himself sings “NOW, everybody say blessed”!! You know how the spirit just moved on your heart and you dump out ya wallet? OKAY GREAT! Close your eyes, and hear the bass line now... bc my CASH APP is open for a love offering! Jordan year in T-Minus 2 days! Let’s be cheerful givers now! LET THE LORD USE YOU IN A MIGHTY WAY THIS WEEK SAINTS ✊🏾😅

“Don’t be afraid to show up + stunt, letting what God gave you light up the room”- @felicialatour what God gave me is the desire to connect, communicate, discover+ provide! THAT’s WHAT IT’s ALL ABOUT FOR ME! Whether it’s through editorials, or now live chats. My only end goal is to connect! To live out my daily life + meet others on the way that are too trying for something greater, something that isn’t as tangible! • Last nights live was love (I know the game was on so Salute to those who popped in) •takeaways: PROTECT YOUR MAGIC by encouraging someone else to utilize their own by being themselves! You don’t have to stiff arm others to keep your peace! Encourage others to be kind, witty and loving! • Last nights topics: Rap beefs, Kim going to meet the 45th, society and our shock values! DM me for any topics, see ya next week🖖🏾😊

Getting that morning concert in with some throwbacks in honor of “TBT: With B” I’ll be coming to ya live + direct! LITERALLY! At 10 pm slide in my IG live and vibe with me... (as y’all can see I enjoy myself waaay too much 🙄) see ya @ 10 🖖🏾 Ps swipe left and show my guy @zulupeabody some love on this POPPED playlist “black coffee shop” trust, it goes!

so offended that I had to double check 🗣

🗣🗣Announcement time: I’ve been trying to find ways to connect with yall beyond just my editorials, and while visuals are a learning process... I do believe in the content that I create AND I want to use such as a platform to further engage. SO... I decide to create something new: “TBT: with B”! What is it? Glad you ask: it’s whatever we make it! The idea is to go live (TONIGHT @ 10 PM) and answer questions discuss some editorial —whatever, whatever! My hope is to be transparent+ vibe with y’all. Give and learn all at the same time.... okurrrrrtttt help me elevate higher as well + tune in @ 10 PM LIVE AND DIRECT!!!

I call this morning and said “happy birthday dad” he said “happy birthday Bri’on” WHY!!!! Funny story: last Christmas I noticed (my mama told me)that he wanted these lit golf shoes but instead he put his coins into getting my brother into golf lessons + of course I was moved! So I stacked some $ to purchase the shoes, epic fail so I purchased a gift card to eventually purchase the shoes! He threatened to return the card, because of the price + after begging him to keep it, he does. Today he says “it’s fine if you don’t have anything for me because I’m still living off your Christmas gift” I ask him why he didn’t buy those shoes: “ i bought shoes. When I got there I realized shoes are just shoes... so I decided to spend less” .... 😬 I hope I find someone that cares about finances like that, and will share their birthdays with me too !! Happy EARTH/G/EV— day EV🖖🏾

Me randomly busting out a stretch bc I’ve become obsessive with the ways my body carries stress! It’s mind boggling to me that as human we can allow external (in this context things outside of our natural and spiritual bodies) factors take such a toll that it ends up damaging our physical beings! That’s just not good stewardship! And I’ve been trying to unlearn my bad habits when managing stress and develop something pure. •yoga//exercising these tense bones •meditation//learning the art of emptying my mind and becoming present. •prayer+worship//having multiple talks with my father God and exploring his splendor (A GREAT WAY TO PUT YO MESS IN PERSPECTIVE MIGHT I ADD) All 3 have been teaching me that nothing external is worth the price of my internal. #spiritmanwoke #mindfulness #balance #fearlesssummer #walkinginpurpose #livinginpurpose my end-goal is to live a life that says I always have eternity on my mind ✨

Been busting my butt to keep my job afloat ( working in Media is HARD STUFF don’t let anyone tell you different) and still find time to and EVEN THE DESIRE to create my own content! BUT I often remember how proud I was to drop my own platform almost 6months ago... (they grow up so fast) so I know that I have to do whatever it takes to keep it going! NEW CONTENT IS NOW LIVE “Motiv8 yourself into a healthy mental space” was timely for me and I hope it is for you as well! 🖖🏾 if you love me support a young little boss bih (sorry saints I’ve been listening to lil baby all morning) 🙂 link in bio

Id like to wish a happy mother’s day to all the women who have taught me about womanhood! Beginning with my mother! There’s no me, without her that’s obvious and no human alive could take her place and I wouldn’t wish for another!Mama you’re my fav!! Following my grandmother who’s my entire universe in one soul, I’ll never experience another love like hers. She’s the purest part of me and lastly my second mama Thia! She took “Sunday school kids” and turned us into God fearing adults... the way she loves kids that aren’t biologically her own is unmatched! One of my greatest teachers and supporters... her love matters! Id be remiss to not mention these women in their “girl group” I’ve watched each of them drop plans to help out as needed when it came to the crew’s (their kids) celebrations. Whatever accomplishment it was, there this gang of 5 were to make the function jump... it takes a village and each of you have been the village that never gets tired!That type of sisterhood is uncommon these days and I’m forever grateful to witness! HMD to each of you for the gems you all are in your own children’s life and as a overflow in my own 🌷💐🌸

Took these on a Monday saved them for a Wednesday.... even with my all too common mug (people think I’m so mean because I will glare you up and down and in reality be thinking of how I can finesse some tacos into my day) I’m still my own woman crush Wednesday 😂. I never felt that way about myself until 2018.. maybe it’s my Jordan year that’s quickly approaching ( in less than a month a shameless plug for y’all to get those pockets right 🙂) or maybe it’s just my trial and error in womanhood that’s causing me to thoroughly look at myself, but each morning I wake up and thank God that I woke up still being me.... no matter what fashion, mood, state of mind I’m me and my soul is secured in the simplest facts that I love me some me, I love me some Jesus and I love me some humanity... that’ll always suffice ✨ Ps: I mean look at how I’m serving y’all true Gemini, mug and kool-aid in one post! It’s gets no more genuine or dual than this baby 🙂

I struggled saying this because I didn’t want to offend anyone but when I often list off my childhood I find myself saying the same 4 things: -we (all 4 of us) have always lived under the same roof! (Until last year when I officially moved out for good 🙏🏾) -we have always kept our living room as what it was intended to be... a place of entertainment. We’ve never morphed it into a temporary bedroom for either dad or mom. -we have never chose violent outburst, yelling, breaking household items etc. in fact, the model is you must make some sort of reconciliation before sun down! - we have never taken extended visits with my grandmother (she don’t play that but even if she did... you two made sure to iron out problems on your own). I’ve said “we” because I selfishly believe that I’m the core of your story 😅 but truth is you two are now 30 years in and well i’m only 22! So this decision was made LONG BEFORE ME! And while there’s many magical things I’d say I won’t put y’all business out there so I’ll leave with this! The biggest lesson I’ve learned is how sweet it is to have a life partner! Not a lover, not a husband, not a wife but a life partner! Someone you’ve chosen and in return they’ve chosen you! Love is purely the aftermath for you two because I believe with how rich and whole you both are individually you two could’ve married anyone and been happy but somehow the Father knew and led you both into believing that life with each other would be nostalgia with no end... and like he’s known to keep all his promises you two have sustained for 30 years 🥂! To Ev and Cass, I plan to celebrate y’all love my entire life 😭

7+ hours without any sort of hydration (Including alcoholic beverages which would’ve taken off some edge) -separated from the fam for an hour among 33,000 people with no cell phone service and a rapidly decreasing phone battery. -Rain by the end of the night and a body that was aching from head to toe! I lived 72 hours worth of memories in one day! 1st music festival under my belt! Broccoli City you broke me in well ✊🏾 Lmao at my horrible vocals this all the footage I had 🤷🏽‍♀️

Happy 20 somethings to my mother ... these are all recent photos so y’all can clearly see what my future is looking like! Now that you’re on IG and oddly follows me perhaps you’ll see this on your own now but as I often tell you if I’m anything like you in this lifetime.... I’ve met every goal! And again black don’t crack so you’re celebrating what year... 25th?

This that you said it’s 75 degrees out but I’m still on the clock? OH ... let me still cut up real quick! Young professional and still with all the shiiiiiiiiiiiiizz-niiiii-eeeees(warmth turns me into HOT GARBAGE this is y’all forewarning)

We taught each other how to survive undergrad— have been learning adulthood side by side and I’ll be holding ya down throughout GRAD SCHOOL my big homie will be continuing his education at Sacred Heart University! 🥂🍾 GO AWWWWFFF TREV! Soon to be a 2 degree shorty ✊🏾🙏🏾
