BRIANNA RILES WAS BORN INTO A FAITH-CENTERED AND ARTISTIC FAMILY. BRIANNA WAS INFLUENCED BY BOTH SPIRITUALITY AND MUSIC AT A VERY YOUNG AGE. IT WAS THROUGH THE INFLUENCE OF HER MOTHER AND FATHER'S OWN LOVE FOR THE LORD AND MUSIC, THAT BRIANNA'S POETIC CREATIVITY WAS BORN. COMPOSING SONGS AT THE AGE OF SIX AND LETTERING HER FIRST POEM AT THE AGE OF TEN, BRIANNA WENT ON TO KEEP NOTEBOOKS AND JOURNALS OF HER WRITTEN WORKS. EVEN IN GRADE SCHOOL, SHE OFTEN WONDERED WHY HER HISTORY BOOKS DIDN'T TELL THE STORY OF THE LIFE OF BLACKS BEFORE SLAVERY AND WHY IT WASN'T A PREDOMINANT TEACHING. THROUGH THE BIBLICAL GUIDANCE OF HER PARENTS, SHE LEARNED THAT THE HISTORY OF THE BLACK PEOPLE STOOD IN THE MOST COMMON BOOK OF HISTORY: THE BIBLE. TODAY, SHE USES HER POETRY TO SPARK A RIGHTEOUS UPROAR IN THE BLACK COMMUNITY AND AWAKEN THE MINDS OF HER PEOPLE BY GIVING INSIGHT OF WHAT IS GOING ON AROUND THEM. HER ULTIMATE GOAL IS TO TEACH GOD'S CHOSEN PEOPLE, AND ALL OF GOD'S ELECT, WHO THEY ARE AND THEIR RIGHTFUL DUTY AND PURPOSE ON THIS EARTH.
