Today we’d like to introduce you to Briana Brown.
Briana, we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?
To take you all to the beginning of my journey and to tell you all my story of how I started Events by BrieMonayy, BLNB (Boss Ladies Networking Brunches & Events), and how life experiences has molded me into the woman I am today. I am the founder and CEO of Events by BrieMonayy, a luxury event planning company that specializes in personalized events. I am also the CEO of Boss Ladies Networking Brunches & Events for small businesses owned by women to come together and network and sell and/or promote their products. My women events are to motivate women and uplift women into starting their own businesses and allowing established businesses to grow.
I am 22 years old and I was born in Cincinnati Ohio and moved to Georgia at the age of six. I am the oldest of five children. I have always had a strong work ethic, I started my first job at 13 years old, at Wendys and had worked a job ever since. The more and more I experienced working, and just working for other people, whether it was fast food, a call center or the doctor’s office, it was all the same. I was undervalued and taken advantage of. Whatever I do, I put my all into it, to be the most effective at what I am doing, whether it’s making appointments or selling an item I am going to be the best at doing it. I felt as though I would do this for companies who did not know my worth or value me as an employee. I asked myself why make a company who doesn’t care about you thousands of dollars when I can take my expertises and invest my time and work ethic into my own craft. I’ve known for a while since I was a child I wanted to be an entrepreneur and create generational wealth within my family and bloodline. Event planning has always been a passion of mine. I enjoy decor and color coordinating, Being able to channel my creativity into something that improves the lives of others is why I do what I do. I love what I do.
My biggest motivation is my daughter, her name is Londyn. I got pregnant my sophomore year in college, and more than anything I feared not being able to give my daughter the life she deserves. Which motivated me to go 100x harder and which led me start my own business, so that the fate of my money is not at the hands of someone else’s but my own. I took the leap of faith in January of 2020 and quit my 9-5 job at a sleep specialist office. I always tell myself to not, not take risk but to manage them. I had full support from my amazing fiancé that wanted me to follow my dreams and pursue what will make me happy. And amazing parents that wanted me to do what was best for me. I launched my business January 19th and it was one of the best decisions I have ever made in my life. Launching a business while going through a worldwide pandemic has been an eye opener to say the least. I have done a lot of innovating and accommodations for my clients during this time, such as making things virtual and setting up small memorable gatherings for my clients and their loved ones. Providing my clients with superb and outstanding event decor is the cornerstone of Events by BrieMonayy. I am a strong advocate for women empowerment and a strong believer that there is enough room for everyone to be at the top and be successful. This is what led me to start BLNB. I believe that if we all have the mindset of helping each other reach our goals, putting each other all on game it will eliminate the strain of competition but allow everyone to be fruitful in what they do.
I’m sure you wouldn’t say it’s been obstacle free, but so far would you say the journey have been a fairly smooth road?
Being a business owner has definitely came with its struggles. It has always not been peaches and rainbows, but I am very blessed and have never gave up on my dreams. This is just the beginning there is always room for growth and improvement. The main struggle is that I started my business in the year of a pandemic, adjusting to the new normal has been a task but very much doable. I continue to be motivated driven and head strong to continue to pursue my dreams no matter the disadvantages.
