Briana describes themselves as an "artivist" (artist/activist), oral historian, and a conduit for their ancestors, using poetry and storytelling to explore social and political issues. 

They have found themselves more than once on the final stage of the Youth Speaks Teen Poetry Competition. In 2018 they represented the Bay Area on an all BIPOC femme team during the Brave New Voice National Poetry Competition in Houston, Texas. Their poetry has also been featured on local Bay Area radio stations, including 106.KMEL.

Today, they can be found working as a poet mentor teaching youth poetry workshops with Bay Area Creative's SPARC Poetry Foundation, which is the same program that initially introduced Briana to poetry in elementary school. They are currently studying Psychology and Critical Diversity Studies at the University of San Francisco hoping to eventually teach high school Ethnic Studies.
