Hello, my name is Briona Williams. I attend Shaw University  I am a senior majoring in mass communication. I was born and raised in Wilmington North Carolina. I knew what I wanted to do at a young age when it came to my future. I want to have my own cooking show or talk show. When I was little I used to go in the kitchen with my mom and pretend to cook with her on my little kitchen set an talk like I was on the video and showing people how to cook.

The primary focus of this organization is to expose and train the youth of color living in vulnerable communities in S.T.E.A.M careers to prepare them for post-secondary education and entrepreneurial success in our global economy. Our organization engages youth ages 8-25. My role as a TMT mentee is hospitality person for example when we have events I am the person who sets up the food to greet people and also after the event is over I will be the person to clean up and make sure everything is back in order.

My 5-year future plan is to have everything in motion a year after I graduate. I want to produce a cooking show and to have things in motion maybe not have the cooking show yet but start off like cooking on YouTube. I know getting where I want to be and stuff will be hard and knowing that it takes time to get everything developed. I don’t wanna be all over the place when I graduate that’s why I made this set goal. The ability to have a goal and keep working towards that goal will make things easier because that’s what I’m chasing and want to follow. 

IMG_8126 In this paragraph, I want to talk about what I go through on a daily basis and how I get through it.  Sometimes and how it’s hard for me to get through it is my anxiety and depression. Also how my mood changes and I just don’t want that to affect my future and affect the things that I want to do in my life. Right now it does affect lots of things that I do like the internship that I am in now I get very overwhelmed and I shut down immediately. I don’t really want it to be like that for the rest of my life.
