Rising Stars: Meet Brionna Warner of Atlanta

Today we’d like to introduce you to Brionna Warner

Hi Brionna, please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
I started writing poetry when I fell in love with my high school sweetheart—it was the only way I could truly express what I felt. Over time, that one spark led me to explore other emotions and experiences in my life, and I’ve never stopped since. Poetry became more than just a creative outlet, it became a release, a way to navigate the hardships and transformations in my journey. No matter what I’ve been through, poetry has always been there—a space where I can be honest, raw, and free with no limitations.
Getting to where I am today has been a journey of growth, consistency, and self-discovery. I’ve poured myself into my work, allowing my poetry to evolve as I have. Through heartbreak, healing, and transformation, writing has remained my constant. Over time, I’ve refined my craft, shared my words, and connected with people who resonate with my work. Now, being here—getting recognized for something so personal to me, feels like a testament to the power of honesty, resilience, and storytelling. I also have a book coming out in the near future called “love Me forever”, so be on the lookout for that! Last but not least, I go by “The Quiet Storme”because it encapsulates who I am as an individual and as a poet..soft-spoken yet powerful, reserved yet commanding. My silence speaks volumes; it’s the quiet before the downpour, the calm before the strike. Much like a storm that gathers quietly until it unleashes its undeniable force and my poetry holds that same intensity. It’s the thunderclap right after the flash.

Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
It definitely hasn’t been a smooth road. Poetry has been my refuge, but my journey both in writing and in life has been full of challenges. I’ve had to navigate heartbreak, deep losses, and the painful process of shedding past versions of myself. There were times when I felt completely lost, questioning my worth, my purpose, and whether I even had the strength to keep going. Creatively, I’ve struggled with consistency. There were periods where I couldn’t write at all, where the weight of my emotions felt too heavy to turn into art. I’ve also battled self-doubt, wondering if my words were good enough to be shared, if they truly mattered beyond just me. And in my personal life, healing from past experiences, especially my last relationship, has been its own journey. Learning to trust again, to love myself fully, and to embrace the new version of me hasn’t been easy. But every hardship has shaped me. The struggles, the silence, the moments of uncertainty, they’ve all found their way into my poetry, making it richer, more honest, and more deeply connected to who I am. If anything, the road hasn’t been smooth, but it’s been real. And that’s what I write about.

Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know about your work?
I am a poet and writer who specializes in deeply emotional, raw, and introspective work. My poetry explores love, heartbreak, healing, self-discovery, and the depth of human emotion. I don’t just write, I try to make people feel. My words are meant to pull readers into the moment, whether it’s through vivid imagery, intimate reflections, or the kind of honesty that lingers long after the poem ends. What I’m most proud of is my ability to transform my pain and experiences into something meaningful, not just for myself, but for others who see themselves in my work. Writing has been my way of healing, but knowing that my words have helped others feel seen, understood, or less alone is what makes it truly fulfilling. What sets me apart is the way I capture emotions, how I take the rawest, most personal moments and make them universal. My poetry doesn’t shy away from intensity, it embraces it. I believe in writing with no restraints, no filters..just truth. Whether it’s love, loss, or desire, I want my readers to feel everything as deeply as I do when I write.

If we knew you growing up, how would we have described you?
Growing up, I was a pretty shy and quiet kid. My form of release back then was through drawing and playing any sport I could get my hands on. I was always an emotional child, more so than my siblings, or even my parents which often made me feel alienated. But sports and art were my sanctuaries, the places where I felt the most free.
I was also an avid animal lover. I took care of stray cats, nursed injured birds back to health, and petted every dog that crossed my path. At the same time, I had a fearless, risk-taking side, probably why my legs are covered in scars. I loved to dance, to be outside in nature, to move and feel alive.
More than anything, I was always drawn to things that helped me escape the harsh realities I grew up in. Whether it was through art, movement, or the comfort of animals, I found solace in the little things that made the world feel softer.
