Brianni Taylor on discernment, execution, and building a life rooted in alignment
For event producer Brianni Taylor, growth has never been linear.
Over the years, she has built a career executing large-scale events and experiences through her company, BT Presents. But behind every polished final product is something far more layered. Strategy. Discipline. Faith. And the quiet ability to translate ambitious ideas into reality.
She describes this season of her life simply.
God is great, and I’m growing.
And that growth has required redefining strength, choosing joy intentionally, and learning that success isn’t just about what you build. It’s about how you feel while building it.
Main Character Energy
Q: If your life right now had a chapter title, what would it be?
Brianni: “God Is Great, and I’m Growing” I wouldn’t describe myself as extremely religious, but I am spiritual. I believe in God’s presence and power, and I’ve felt that more than ever in this season. My life continues to evolve in ways I couldn’t have imagined, and I see God’s favor in that growth. I wake up every day with the ability to live, impact others, and choose happiness and I’ve learned that happiness truly is a choice. There was a time when I chose misery, and it showed up in my circumstances. Now, I try to keep God at the center of my life and decisions. That mindset shift has changed everything. I’ve watched roadblocks move and hurdles clear in ways that constantly remind me: God is great.
Q: What’s something about you that looks effortless but actually took years to master?
Brianni: This is such an interesting question because I rarely feel like I’ve “mastered” anything. I’ve lived what feels like 100 lives, trying different paths, building different things, constantly evolving. I’m always aware of where I can improve. That said, something that looks effortless but took years to refine is my ability to execute. I’m a strong operational executor. I can take a vision, sometimes abstract, sometimes ambitious, and reverse-engineer it into a clear, actionable plan.
When people attend an event or see a finished project, it may feel seamless. But that seamlessness is the result of hours of mapping, contingency planning, coordination, and meticulous detail. The effort is invisible by design. And even now, I’m still refining it. For me, mastery isn’t about arrival, it’s about continual elevation.
Q: If your aura had a color this season, what would it be and why?
Brianni: Most people who know me know I live in black. It’s my uniform, structured, grounded, simple. But if I had to describe my aura this season, it would be yellow. Yellow has been my favorite color since I was a child, and I think that’s meaningful. It represents optimism, happiness, creativity, and clarity. And that’s exactly where I am right now. This season feels light. Focused. Intentional. I’m choosing joy. I’m leaning into creativity. I’m allowing myself to see possibility instead of limitation.
So while I may wear black on the outside, internally it’s sunshine.
The Depth
Q: What belief about yourself did you have to unlearn to become who you are today?
Brianni: I had to unlearn the belief that vulnerability was a weakness. For a long time I believed being guarded was protection. That if I softened I would be taken advantage of. But what I’ve learned is that true strength isn’t hardness. It’s discernment. Vulnerability doesn’t make you weak. It makes you human. Allowing myself to be seen and honest about my emotions has actually made me stronger.
Q: What does success mean to you now that it didn’t mean five years ago?
Brianni: Five years ago I defined success by external markers. Progress. Productivity. Visible growth. Now success means happiness and peace. You can curate a beautiful life on paper, but if you’re internally disconnected from joy it doesn’t feel like much. I’ve learned that gratitude and contentment aren’t the enemies of ambition. They actually make ambition healthier.
Q:If you could have a two-hour conversation with any woman, who would it be?
Brianni: The woman I’d choose is actually my grandmother, who is thankfully still alive. The funny thing is, I already sit and talk with her for hours. I’ve had the privilege of asking her so many of the questions people often think to ask only once it’s too late. The conversations that stay with me most are about her upbringing, what she didn’t have, the sacrifices she made, and how those experiences shaped the decisions that changed the trajectory of her life. Hearing how she intentionally tried to create a different life for her children is powerful. It reminds me how much our choices ripple forward. We also share a love of flowers, so sometimes our deep conversations shift into long talks about gardening. There’s something poetic about that, discussing growth, roots, and seasons with the woman who helped shape mine.
Q:What’s a quote you love and one you think is a scam?
Brianni: Quote I love: “I got my start by giving myself a start.” - Madam C.J. Walker This quote resonates deeply with me because it mirrors how I built my career in event production. I wasn’t able to secure formal training or land an internship to learn the industry in a traditional way. There wasn’t a clear entry point for me, so I created one. I invested my own money, taught myself through experience, made mistakes, refined my approach, and kept going. I learned by doing. I built credibility by executing. No one handed me an opportunity, I initiated it. That’s why this quote feels personal. It reminds me that you don’t have to wait to be chosen. Sometimes you have to give yourself the start.
Quote I think is a scam: “You can have it all.” I don’t think the phrase is malicious, but I do think it’s incomplete. It sounds empowering, but it can quietly create pressure to be everything, do everything, and excel at everything all at once. I believe you can have what’s aligned for you. But everything comes with seasons, trade-offs, and intention. Success isn’t about collecting every possible milestone, it’s about choosing what genuinely fulfills you and building your life around that. For me, “having it all” isn’t about accumulation. It’s about alignment.
Mastery isn’t about arrival — it’s about continual elevation.
Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
The Roots
Q: What environment do you thrive in?
Brianni: I thrive in environments that are both structured and creative. I love spaces where there’s a clear vision, high standards, and forward momentum, but also room for innovation and thoughtful execution. I do my best work when expectations are high, trust is mutual, and everyone is committed to building something meaningful.
Aesthetics matter to me. Energy matters to me. Emotional intelligence matters to me. I thrive around people who are self-aware, solution-oriented, and serious about growth.
Q: What’s something you wish more women were honest about?
Brianni: Honestly, I think women are being more honest now than ever before, and I hope we don’t stop. I love seeing women openly talk about the realities of heterosexual relationships, especially the additional emotional and domestic labor that often goes unspoken.
More women are saying, “If partnership doesn’t add value to my life, I’d rather be single.” That level of clarity is powerful. I also appreciate how honest women are becoming about motherhood. Some deeply desire it. Others don’t. And for a long time, saying you didn’t want children felt taboo.
Now women are owning their truth without apology. The same goes for ambition. There are women who genuinely love building businesses, traveling, creating wealth, and embracing the “rich aunty” lifestyle, not as a fallback, but as a preference.
The Legacy
Q:What’s something you want younger women watching you to understand?
Brianni : I want younger women watching me to understand that you can accomplish incredible things while being your authentic self. Authenticity doesn’t mean you show every part of yourself in every room. It means knowing who you are and having the discernment to understand when to lean into certain parts of yourself and when to button up.
You can be fully yourself and fully professional at the same time. Those things are not opposites.I also want them to understand that not everyone has to be the leader all the time. There is so much power in being a strong team player. Supporting a vision doesn’t make you a follower, it makes you valuable. Everyone will have their turn to lead. But the best leaders are usually the ones who first learned how to be great teammates.
Q:What does having your flowers actually mean to you?
Brianni: Having your flowers means receiving gratitude in real time. It means not having to wait until you’re gone for people to say how much you mattered. It’s acknowledgment of your impact, your consistency, your growth, while you can still feel it. Not in a performative way. Not in a social media highlight way. But in a real, grounded way where the work you’ve done, and the care you’ve poured into people and spaces is acknowledged. It’s about impact being seen. It’s less about applause and more about intentional appreciation.
I still strive for more, but now I measure success by how I feel while I’m building, not just what I’m building.
Still Fun. Still Her.
If you were a flower this season, what would you be and why?
If I were a flower this season, I’d be a dahlia. Dahlias symbolize inner strength, elegance, and resilience, and that feels aligned with where I am right now. They’re structured and intricate, with layers that you don’t fully appreciate until you look closely.
There’s softness, but there’s also discipline. There’s beauty, but it’s intentional. This season of my life feels layered, grounded, and strong.
Not loud, but undeniable. "Better late than never."
Growth doesn’t always look loud.
Sometimes it looks like discipline. Quiet faith. The willingness to redefine what success means as your life evolves. For Brianni Taylor, this season isn’t just about producing beautiful events or executing ambitious visions through BT Presents. It’s about alignment. Choosing joy. Trusting discernment. And building a life that feels as good internally as it may look externally. And if the symbolism fits, maybe that’s why the flower she chose for herself this season is a dahlia. Layered. Strong. Elegant. And blooming exactly when it’s meant to.
