Brionni "Bri" Nwosu is a writer who believes in the power of community, connection, and living with intention. Born and raised in Atlanta, she now lives in Nashville with her husband and three kids, where she spends her days sneaking naps, perfecting writing tools, and falling into research rabbit holes.

Before turning to fiction, Brionni spent over a decade as an educator, instructional coach, and graduate advisor, training and supporting new teachers across the country. Named after two book characters, she was destined to fall in love with storytelling—a passion that led her to become a 2021 We Need Diverse Books Mentee, where she worked with the acclaimed author Rajani LaRocca. 

Her debut novel, The Wondrous Lives and Loves of Nella Carter, is a sweeping, centuries-spanning tale about love, loss, and one woman’s fight to prove that humanity is worth saving, perfect for fans of The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue and A Love Song for Ricki Wilde.
