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

Hi Briana, what is the most important factor behind your success?
Most important factor behind myself & the success of my brand is… Keeping God first.

“Keep God first, he will provide the rest”. Trust God throughout the good and bad. Faith is all you need to proceed!!!!

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
My name is Briana Zalamar. I’m a queen of all trades. Entrepreneur, self published author, brand ambassador and content creator. CEO/Founder of Bri’s Boutique (Online, worldwide children’s boutique) Aside of my everyday business, I’m a content creator and Brand ambassador. I’ve partnered with numerous brands from showcasing, skincare, clothing & more. I’m also a correspondent for Grinderzz 24/7 Magazine & TV! I’ve been seen/featured on multiple platforms from BET networks, Urban One Honors, NAACP, iHeart radio, LA Wire, New York weekly, Influencer, Voyage Magazine, Season 6 of “Unpacking the box” and the list continues. What sets me aside from everyone else is my originality. No one can compare because everyone’s journey is different. Throughout trial & error a blessing awaits. One lesson I’ve learned along the way is.. Elevation requires separation. Everyone who starts with you, won’t finish with you. Strangers will support you quicker than people you’ve known for a lifetime. Sad truth, but it’s reality. Some people don’t want to see you win. Continue to win anyways!

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
My perfect idea for a girls trip/weekend getaway is simply spending quality time.

Texas style of course! No matter how busy life can get, we always make time for one another. For starters, “San Antonio River walk, Japanese Tea Garden, ANYTHING with amazing scenery! We love experiencing new destinations as well! Never limited to anything— Mexican food, Italian and Raising Canes is our favorite!

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
For starters, I’d love to thank my mother & father, Angela & Daryl Brown for believing in my vision. Coming from a family of hustlers, it’s in my DNA to eat!!!!

Second, I’d love to shine light & give flowers to my fiancé Melvin Edmonds. You’re my best friend, everything & more.

Special shout-out also goes to my close friends, support system. Y’all are amazing!
