Brianna Wright

De Paul University, Chicago, Illinois electrifying and encouraging Invitation

The Dean and the Faculty of De Paul University, College of Computing and Digital Media announce Brianna Wright is a candidate for the degree of Master of Arts in

Film and Television with a Specialization in Cinematography and Digital Media at the Commencement Ceremony,

Saturday, June eleventh

Two Thousand Twenty-two

At 8:00 in the morning

Wintrust Arena

200 East Cermak Road

Chicago, Illinois


GWWN congratulates you on this remarkable achievement. Although we were not in-person at the ceremony, thanks for your invitation that transports us there. The invitation speaks elegantly of this occasion that inspires us.


GWWN is proud of you and all of your accomplishments. Your invitation provides an opportunity to celebrate and highlight additional profound information about you.


Did you know that Brianna…?

  • Raised and grew up with moral values, dignity, courage and respect that enhances the world today
  • Born in Raleigh, North Carolina and by faith was bold and determined to relocate (alone) to Chicago, Illinois to attend De Paul University to further her education
  •  Earned a B.A. Degree in Criminal Justice from William Peace University, Raleigh, North Carolina
  • Has a passion and love for children and worked at various Pre-K Schools in Raleigh, North Carolina
  •  Expanded her gifts in Chicago. She made an impact on children by collaborating with a Southside Elementary School offering visual art programs. Her goal for the program was to continue to provide new and creative outlet for youth in the community to build confidence, social skills and an appreciation for their gifts and talents.
  • Is a media specialist, lifestyle and portrait photographer, and as an entrepreneur provide services to nonprofit organizations, families, and the private sectors
  • Smile and personality capture attention
  • Excels as a dancer, performs at events, and a choreographer for several youth and other groups
  •  Mentee of GWWN and an academic scholarship recipient (2022)
  • Uplifted and inspired children, teens, and adults in countess ways asking for nothing in return, "For example, during a COVID-19 stage, a student did not have a coat. She promised the child she would purchase her a coat. Trustworthy to her word with many competing priorities, Brianna rushed to the store before closing to make the purchase."



 We are excited to witness Brianna's personal and professional growth. These accomplishments are evidence with faith, she will continue supporting others. Also, we are confident she will make positive decisions to generate lasting impacts in the communities for others success.
