  • 32 | "You're More Like Family" w/ Jashua

    In this episode of The Highlight Real, I chop it up with my guy Jashua! Jashua was on an episode earlier in the season and I thought it would be a good idea to do a solo episode with him. I honestly had no clue where we were going to go in this conversation but was confident that it would be insightful because we tend to have very introspective and thoughtful conversations and walk away learning something about one another. In this episode we discuss how we met (with some interesting stories) , how we deal with conflict, our differences and how those bring us closer, and more! Tune in to this episode for an insightful conversation between two friends that became family!

We discuss what her experience has been like in Kent State's rigorous fashion program and how being in this program has prepared her for other things. We explore her thoughts and fears about post-graduation because as a college graduate I thought it would be good to provide some encouragement for Brianna as she continues to move forward. She also explains what her brand "The Element" is, what it stands for, and her ideas for what is going to happen with it after she graduates. Of course we talk about much more so make sure you listen this episode to hear some more GEMS! Tune in!

  • 28 | DJing, Music, and Party Culture w/ DJ Monet

    In this episode of The Highlight Real, our guest is DJ Monet! Monet became a full time DJ since the pandemic and I wanted to pick her brain about music, DJing and party culture. If you are one that likes to go out and wants to understand DJs a little better then this episode is definitely for you! I definitely had to talk to her about party culture since it can look very different in various regions of the U.S. Since this is also a male dominated industry I thought it would be very interesting to hear more about her perspective and how that influences some of her experiences as a DJ.

  • 27 | Somethin' About Our 20s w/ Micahiah

    In this week's episode I speak with Micahiah of @somethinaboutour20s! As two podcast hosts that discuss life in their 20s amongst other things, we decided we would each come to this conversation with questions ready to discuss.

Make sure to tune in to this episode as we answer and break down some of these questions!
