We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Breanna Fair. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Breanna below.
Breanna, we’re thrilled to have you sharing your thoughts and lessons with our community. So, for folks who are at a stage in their life or career where they are trying to be more resilient, can you share where you get your resilience from?
I believe I get my ability to be resilience from watching my grandmother sacrifice her time to be the glue of the family, as she was my guardian while being born a military brat. My grandmother is a living testimony as she has been blessed to live through heart problems and surgeries since the age of 35 and still made a decision to assist with raising my two sisters and I. She has set the tone for having bad days however showing up to support her family weather it was track meets, band practices, recitals, cooking, or simple things like the up keep of an house.
Thanks for sharing that. So, before we get any further into our conversation, can you tell our readers a bit about yourself and what you’re working on?
Hello all.
My name is Breanna and currently am I wearer of many different hats. For my carer, I am current a quality assurance specialist for a mental health company in Richmond, Virginia. This is role requires to me to work behind the scene as it is my job to ensure that the quality of documents and cultural of the business is maintained as i train new employees as well. Outside of my responsible of working to being an adult, much of my time is spent winning young souls for Jesus as I serve as a youth leader with my church(The Life Church-RVA). Being apart of a community, where we all have a common goals to support the youth of today files my cup. My purpose with serving in TLCYTH is mirroring the support I had at my home church , Zion Baptist Church of Portsmouth, VA, after understanding how much of a difference those individuals played in my life of being a pre-teen and teenager.
Looking back, what do you think were the three qualities, skills, or areas of knowledge that were most impactful in your journey? What advice do you have for folks who are early in their journey in terms of how they can best develop or improve on these?
Surprise ! Four qualities and skills that I believe that were most impactful on my journey is believing in myself, setting boundaries, seeking support for the things I didn’t understand, and lastly having a relationship with God. My advice that I have for other early in their journey is to live a life that is has purpose and to value your time by understanding where you spend the most time. To improve on these things, I advocate for self-reflection abd accountability partners.
What do you do when you feel overwhelmed? Any advice or strategies?
When I am feeling overwhelmed I call my support system, rest in the word of God, and simplifying my goals. My suggested strategy with feeling overwhelmed is being able to identify what is on your plate and prioritize accordingly.
