“I must truly say things have been aligned or just feeling a lot more tangible since our connect. Thank you so much again for taking the time to guide me on this experience.”
Joy- Freelance Writer
“Hi Bri! I just wanted to thank you again for the inspiration and encouragement. I landed my first pitch to a local media outlet and will be writing about an art exhibition/mentorship program. I hope we can have a 1:1 in the future when I’m ready to brand out of Milwaukee.”

Introducing The Write Your Legacy Workshop
Use the body of this section to pitch your offerings and relate it directly back to the points (paint points) described above. You’ll need to strategically provide a solution for every pain point mentioned so your offerings convert your audience.
Imagine the vivid image you could paint for them if they were to grasp the opportunity and invest in your offer. Envision a scenario that is truly alluring, where they can reap the exact benefits that others have already experienced through your teachings.
But before they dive into this journey, it's crucial for them to understand that you have been in their shoes before. You have faced the same struggles and frustrations they are currently facing, and you have overcome the very obstacles that are holding them back.

I’m Briona
As a multi award-winning travel journalist, I created this offer to provide you with practical tools and personalized guidance to help give you the confidence to step into your dream writing career and thrive. I spent years doubting if my writing was good enough, unsure and unfulfilled. From a lifelong dream of writing professionally to navigating the uncertainty of a nomadic life, I yearned to tell impactful global stories. Faced with the challenges of an anti-Black media industry, I scoured the internet for answers, leading me to a pivotal moment: contributing to POPSUGAR and embarking on my writing journey. With each byline, I gained the confidence to send pitches, eventually securing a place among multi-award-winning travel and food journalists, recognized by prestigious organizations and featured in top publications.
