🎨🌟 Today, 30 Compton Early College scholars were inspired by the amazing Bria Murphy, through a partnership with Saving Our Daughters! 🌟🎬 Bria, a talented artist and actress—and daughter of the legendary Eddie Murphy—shared her journey from painting celestial portraits to starring in Netflix's Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F. 🎥 She also co-founded ArtUs and is now making waves in Hollywood as a writer and producer! Bria’s message to scholars? Believe in yourself and stay focused on your goals. Confidence and persistence were key lessons passed down from her family, encouraging her to express rather than impress. 💪✨ CEC 6th – 12th graders asked Bria their own career questions. 🎭 Bria reminded us all that nerves aren’t a sign of weakness—they help you stay present and perform at your best! 🙌 Thank you, Bria, for inspiring scholars to dream big and embrace their creativity! 💫 #BriaMurphy #EmpoweringGirls #CreativeJourney #SavingOurDaughters #WomenEmpowerment #ComptonUnified #Elevate
