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

Hi Brianna, the decisions we make often shape our story in profound ways. What was one of the most difficult decisions you’ve had to make?
The most difficult decision I’ve had to make was deciding if I wanted to stay in my home town of Kansas City, Missouri; having been born and raised there my whole life, or relocating to Atlanta, GA to pursue my passion for modeling.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
I am a freelance model. I am newer to the industry. I have been modeling independently for a little less than a year. I took a leap of faith and moved out to Atlanta and had a team behind of family that is supportive and helped in anyway they could if I needed it. Everyday is still a learning process but the amount of accomplishments that I have reached in only 3 months out here has been a true blessing. And even with that, I still have a long way to go to get to where I would ideally like to be with modeling because I believe that you should never stop learning and growing and wanting to accomplish new things with your craft. Lessons I have learned along the way are to be patient and persistent. Even when it seemed that things weren’t going to happen the way I though I would have liked them to, I stayed persistent and I am further into building my dream than I would have been had I given up when things didn’t look so promising.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
I am newer to the city so I don’t know all the “happening” spots. But I will say Colony Square is definitely a vibe. The outdoor seating, and the food hall set up that they have is a good time. I would hit up STK, the food and decor is very upscale and delicious! And the Sugar Factory is definitely a must. The city is so huge and always has something happening, I love exploring and discovering new places, that is something I try to do often since I’ve been here.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I definitely want to shout out to Jesus first and foremost, because without him nothing is possible. And secondly my mom and dad because they have always believed in me and encouraged me to do whatever I had a desire for or what was set in my heart. They have never shot down my dreams, but only pushed me and gave me the encouragement and much needed advice to pursue those dreams! I also want to shout out my Uncle Mike because he allowed me to visit for an entire month and stay with him and his family while helping me get started in modeling, by connecting me with photographers and helping me get my portfolio started. Him allowing me to stay there for that month really opened my eyes and showed me that living your dreams is 100% possible!
