Bria always had an idea of what career path she hoped to follow but was never clear on how to make that happen. She had a knack for keeping people informed, so she was interested in pursuing a career in journalism.

While attending Howard University in Washington, D.C., she decided to apply for an internship with NBC to gain experience and exposure in the news and entertainment industry. Working under people that trusted her and recognized her work ethic, Bria was eventually given a chance to write and produce her own segments for the show Velshi and Ruhle.

The connections she established as an intern led to opportunities at NBC after graduation. After a series of interviews, she landed a role as a graphics production assistant on The 11th Hour with Brian Williams, coordinating and producing graphics and elements for the show. After moving up to associate producer, she was ready for a new challenge.

Through well-established connections, she landed a role on Charlamagne Tha God’s new series, Tha God’s Honest Truth, starting as a segment producer and eventually working her way into the writer’s room. Her talents allowed her to pick up other gigs for Showtime, working as a segment producer on Ziwe and The Circus, before landing a segment producer role at The Daily Show on Comedy Central.
