Briana Payton has always had a passion for purpose, which she defines as making the impact on the world that she was sent here to have. She spent her childhood and adolescence putting her best foot forward, and eventually she made it to Princeton University. For Briana, Princeton was both a momentous achievement and a stunning confrontation. Though she had arrived at this prestigious University, she still didn’t know what her purpose was, and how could she achieve a purpose if she didn’t know what it was? Fear of failure had a grip on her until she realized one thing: there is purpose in the present, and if she leaned fully into her journey in the moment, she would chart a beautiful path toward her ultimate destination. And she has. 

Throughout her education and early career, Briana has discovered her calling to social justice work through classes, activism, leadership, and professional opportunities. She has mastered the art of leveraging her authentic story to connect with competitive opportunities that have led her toward clarity in her calling. This has allowed her to earn full rides to college and grad school at top ranked universities, win numerous highly competitive fellowships and internships, and to eventually land her dream job in her field, making the impact on others she knows she was always made to have. Briana has found her unique path to purpose and is still writing her story. Now, she wants to help you write yours.
