Briana Acres of ST.Louis /ESTL on Life, Lessons & Legacy

We’re looking forward to introducing you to Briana Acres. Check out our conversation below.

Briana , so good to connect and we’re excited to share your story and insights with our audience. There’s a ton to learn from your story, but let’s start with a warm up before we get into the heart of the interview. What is something outside of work that is bringing you joy lately?
My son brings me so much external and internal joy . He’s just like me but in his own way , we never go a day without him making me laugh or trying to figure something out for him because he’s so curious and always wants to know something . My son is so adventurous we never have a simple or normal day . Him just smiling makes my heart smile , I couldn’t imagine a life without my son !

Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
My name is Briana Acres , better known as as Ice or Bmurdaaaaa. What makes me unique and interesting is that I do a number of things that tie into my music and my Entertainment as a dancer . I use opportunities to network with as many people as I can , I’m always open to learning new things and meeting new potential business partners, and expanding my brand . In this upcoming year I plan on going on a mini tour dancing city to city , and I also plan on dropping an album , I’ll hold near to my heart explaining and talking about trials and tribulations I went through this year and what has got me here this far . I will also start my son his own business sometime next year and work on overall cleaning up and polishing my imagine .

Okay, so here’s a deep one: What breaks the bonds between people—and what restores them?
Being unable to trust someone , or someone who has no loyalty will destroy a bond . The only way to restore trust is to be 100 percent completely honest , and to rebuild loyalty instead of speaking about what you can do better you’d have to physically show it in action.

Was there ever a time you almost gave up?
This year was one of the most challenging in my life . But it’s built me up to be stronger , smarter , even more confident , grateful and blessed . So many things that happen to me , but I’m still here . Some people couldn’t handle the things thrown my way to break me but I’m still here . I believe that me being a resilient young lady with a strong personality helped me get through these things also through Prayer . I’ve also been blessed with select people in my life that played a major role this year for me . It takes solitude but it also takes a good supportive village wether it be a big circle or a small one you have that included a few friends and family members most importantly God . Without a positive attitude and prayer everyday I’d be nothing ! So to god and my small circle I am forever grateful and forever blessed , I LOVE YOU !

I think our readers would appreciate hearing more about your values and what you think matters in life and career, etc. So our next question is along those lines. Is the public version of you the real you?
The public version of me is me . I’m myself always and I could never be what I’m not . I’m never get envious or jealous I always just think of ways I can be better or improve myself if at any time I want change . I look at myself and I love everything about me flaws and all from the tip of my head to my tiny little toes. I take pride in my upbringing whether it be good or bad , the things in life I’ve been through has molded me into the young woman I am today . And I teach these things to my son , everybody else is taken so why not be you , love you and or into you ! Big part of me being so confident is me getting to know myself solitarily, standing in my feelings and really just learning what I like and dislike , and being very head strong . I wouldn’t want to be anyone else if I could! I genuinely love myself , I wouldn’t change a thing !

Okay, so let’s keep going with one more question that means a lot to us: What will you regret not doing? 
I would regret not starting early but it really wouldn’t be a regret . I don’t regret much and I’m a strong believer that everything happens for a reason , God makes no mistakes I’m exactly where I need to be in life , at this moment and I just thank god every chance I can that I see another day and that I can keep working on myself and being better as I go .
