1. Dope Vitals: Grew up in Providence RI then moved to Massachusetts and now moving back to Rhode Island!
2. Dopest Thing Done: Somehow, I gained the respect of Questlove (?love) and he gave me his drum sticks. Work-wise, I attended a TV conference and got to sit in the same room as some of the biggest names (and biggest bags) in TV.
3. Dopest Thing to Do: Win an Oscar, obviously. Nah, I’m working towards having my own company that fuels artists of color and gives us a platform to display our genius.
4. Dope Fact about Brianna: I can untie any knot. Doesn’t matter how tight or how small, I can get it loose.
5. A Dope Life that Inspires: Ava DuVernay, Gina Prince-Bythewood, and Spike Lee. These guys are titans in my eyes and I am honored to learn from them and be inspired by their talent.
6. Where You Can Catch Brianna Being Dope: Ayyyeee follow @frizzymaynemedia on Instagram where I’m creating a platform for projects I’m working on. Currently, I’m working on a mini-series called Black Joys. It dives into the rebellious nature of joy and how it propels and ignites the Black community. I am also a writer, producer, videographer and editor. You name it, I’ll do!
Brianna’s Key/s to Living a Dope and Doing Dope Things
Fear is going to try it’s hardest from holding you back from the dopest life experiences. Surround yourself with good people, a good foundation within yourself, and good work discipline. Not only has this helped in my art but has helped in my life and growth as a human. Fear has crept in me so many times, but the goodness you surround yourself with makes it easier to ignore and go after those goals!
