We had the good fortune of connecting with Brianna Jones and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Brianna, alright, let’s jump in with a deep one – what’s you’re definition for success?
To me success is when your doing something you truly love and it makes you happy. No matter how much money you make from it or how much exposure, and business you get. You are truly a successful person if your doing something good that you love and it makes you happy.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
I am a fashion, runway, print, and traveling model. I stand out because of my reasoning for modeling I feel. I want to make other women and girls feel beautiful inside and out. To know your beautiful inside but feel like your not outside is very confusing. Everyone deserves to feel confident in their skin. Although, it’s very important to know you have to have a beautiful heart as well. Looks fade and the eyes are gateways to the soul. A beautiful soul is worth so much and is very important. How I got to where I am today is only through the strength of God. Without him I am nothing. He hears me out and blesses me so many ways with my gift and beauty. It was hard at first because I got lost in the sauce (my looks), but he humbled me. Now I know looks aren’t everything but my heart is. I just want the world to know whoever is reading this you are so beautiful/handsome and the world needs you around. Keep going. <3

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
I love seafood so I’d definitely recommend going to Juicy seafoods restaurant. I also discovered at 100taylor street studio they have a Jamaican food section inside and I love oxtails so definitely check that out. It’s also a great studio to book shoots in and work I highly recommend.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
I wanna give a shout out to my closest friend Nicholas. He passed away in 2023. He was an angel on earth. Nicholas was so supportive of me and he always made sure my confidence was so high. He told me it looks like one day I’ll be rich because I’m a star. Little did he know I already was rich because I had someone like him in my corner supporting my dreams. No amount of money or fame could ever make me richer than that. I’m forever grateful.
