Season 4, Episode 7, Part 1: Bre’Anna Coleman

On today’s episode, Bre'Anna Coleman shares her experiences moving to Ole Miss while knowing very few people in Oxford. She discusses what it is like to have to work through college and having a story that differs vastly from those around you.

"I had to learn how to get comfortable with my own voice and my own story and be like if I'm sitting in a class and my story is drastically different from everyone else's, then it's almost as if I am supposed to be here because if I wasn't here, would you have heard a perspective like mine?"

If you or someone you know is struggling with a mental health or substance-use disorder, please contact SAMHSA’s National Helpline at (800) 662-4357. These programs provide free, confidential support 24/7.
