Welcome to the LAST episode of the year 2020. Though the year has brought unthinkable hardships, it’s also brought me this Podcast. I cannot thank everyone who’s listened, whether you know me personally or not! On this episode, I was joined by one of my best friends, Howard Junior Bria Scott. Bria and I met during our Freshman Fall, during one of our school’s many pageants . A “chance interaction” has blossomed into a great friendship, and on this episode we covered a variety of topics. Growing up in Mobile, Alabama and attending predominantly white schools, Scott recalls multiple instances of anti-blackness and identity issues. When I asked her about “finding herself” and we discussed the concept, she admitted that she had not found herself at the time. From keeping up images, to spreading herself thin for perhaps the wrong reasons, she never felt like she was doing things for herself. “Imposter Syndrome” permeated her high school experience from beginning to end. It had effected Scott so much, that she originally didn’t think she was smart enough to apply to Howard. She had her sets set on Florida A and M University. Still, she applied to Howard without a visit, as well as George Mason. She received her acceptance letter just a few days before Christmas, and visited the campus the following April. After an eventful , yet trying Freshman year, Bria served as an intern with Alabama State Representative Terri Sewell. She not only had fun, but learned an incredible amount of the ins and outs of day to day politics. Bria’s lifestyle blog, Blissfully Bria, is her outlet to express her life through writing, while also standing on what she believes in. This Friday, she has a Blog Post coming out about her 20 favorite products of 2020. Recorded 12.29.20. Blog Link https://bblogs-byourbestself.squarespace.com.
