Life, Values & Legacy: Our Chat with Brrash of college park

We recently had the chance to connect with Brrash and have shared our conversation below.

Good morning Brrash, we’re so happy to have you here with us and we’d love to explore your story and how you think about life and legacy and so much more. So let’s start with a question we often ask: What is a normal day like for you right now?
It’s funny to call what I do “normal,” because my days rarely look the same. But if I had to describe a typical one, it would start with walking my dog in the morning, and if time allows, a quick session at the gym.

From there, I head to my role as a store manager at David Vacuums, where I work a 9-to-5 schedule. During slower moments at the shop, I often use the time to attend my culinary and acting classes online — balancing my passions with my responsibilities.

On days when I only work a half shift, I head straight to my externship at Cooking with Melodie’s, which usually runs until about 8 p.m. Afterward, I’ll connect with my mentor for a counseling call, and depending on my energy level, I might squeeze in another gym visit.

I like to end the night with something that helps me wind down — usually catching up on anime or any shows I’ve missed. For me, it’s not just about staying busy, but about building toward something greater with every part of my day.

Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
Hello, my name is Bryan Tucker, though many know me by my creative brand, Brrash the Berserker. I’m a multi-passionate artist, chef, photographer, and storyteller based in Georgia. What makes my journey unique is that I never confine myself to one lane — I embrace creativity across multiple forms, whether it’s cooking, dance, music, or building community through events and collaborations.

My brand, Berserker Nation, is about living wild, free, and passionate. It’s not just a name — it’s a lifestyle and a movement. Through my photography, private chef services, podcasting, and creative direction, I’ve worked to create spaces where people feel inspired and seen. My dog Blu, a Timberland wolf-dog, has even become a symbol and mascot for my work — representing loyalty, strength, and untamed energy.

Right now, I’m balancing my role as a store manager at David Vacuums, advancing my studies in culinary arts at Escoffier School of Culinary Arts, and growing as a performer in acting and modeling. I’ve also launched projects like my podcast Social Discomfort and photography work with events like Biz Savvy Artist, which connect me with other independent creators in Atlanta’s vibrant scene.

While my grandmother sparked my love of cooking, what truly drives me is the desire to see my skills recognized and displayed. I want to be that “big discovery” — not in any one box, but in whatever way that moment reveals itself. For me, it’s about showing the world everything I’m capable of and proving that my creativity deserves its place on the biggest stage possible.

Great, so let’s dive into your journey a bit more. What breaks the bonds between people—and what restores them?
What breaks bonds between people can be almost endless — lies, distance, betrayal, pride, silence, or even simply growing apart. Bonds are fragile because they live at the intersection of trust and vulnerability, and once shaken, they can feel impossible to repair.

But restoring a bond takes something much harder: radical honesty. You have to be willing to be honest with yourself first, then with the other person — even if it means leaving yourself exposed and defenseless. It means choosing truth over ego, and vulnerability over self-protection.

The final piece is patience. Healing takes time, and bonds aren’t rebuilt overnight. If both people are willing to sit with the discomfort, own their part of the break, and give time a chance to work, the bond can be not just restored, but sometimes even stronger than before.

When did you stop hiding your pain and start using it as power?
I stopped hiding my pain back in 2017. By then, it had simply become too heavy to carry in silence. I wasn’t thinking about how others would take it or what the aftermath might look like — I just knew I wanted to live for me, not for them.

What I didn’t realize at the time was the kind of power that choice would unlock. I was raised to be a soldier, trained to obey rules, but following someone else’s script was never truly my nature. When that path collapsed, I was kicked out and forced to survive on my own. That moment stripped me of every illusion and left me with only one choice: to discover what power I actually carried inside.

And that’s when pain turned into fuel. Instead of letting it bury me, I learned to use it — to survive, to create, and to carve my place in this chaotic world we call home.

I think our readers would appreciate hearing more about your values and what you think matters in life and career, etc. So our next question is along those lines. Whom do you admire for their character, not their power?
The person I admire most for their character is Nicki Minaj. While she’s undeniably a powerhouse and has broken countless records in the music industry, what I admire most isn’t just her success — it’s her resilience. Even with the world against her at times, she stood firm in her authenticity, protected her artistry, and built a loyal community that continues to thrive.

Her journey shows that character isn’t about being flawless — it’s about staying true to yourself, even under pressure, and continuing to uplift others while you rise. That strength, paired with her creativity and vision, is what inspires me the most.

Okay, so let’s keep going with one more question that means a lot to us: What is the story you hope people tell about you when you’re gone?
I’m not sure what story will be told about me when I’m gone, because narratives can shift and change with time. But what I truly hope is that people remember me as someone who sparked courage and strength in others.

I don’t need to be remembered as perfect — I’d rather be remembered as someone who encouraged others to believe they could shape the world in their own way. My wish is that the story told about me inspires people to build a brighter future, to push past fear, and to work toward the kind of utopia we all dream of — a world that is kinder, freer, and more full of joy.
