From a young age, Bryana was aware of often being the only Black person in predominantly white communities. That didn’t change when she took on various marketing roles in the Agribusiness industry.

What it DID do was light a spark of passion within her to help organizations, places of worship, and individuals create brave spaces to have TOUGH CONVERSATIONS about race.

That led her to get her Master’s in Anti-racism in Urban Education with UNC Charlotte and found 1619 Consulting LLC to help organizations in the agribusiness space have tough discussions about race and inclusivity without causing harm or overwhelm.

Bryana’s purpose is to ignite the power within others to make authentic change and that purpose has come to life SO powerfully in unique ways throughout her entrepreneurial journey. Enjoy this episode!
