Blytheville, AR native Bria Jones has officially been a news reporter at WREG News Channel 3 for one year now. She moved to Memphis at the age of 7 and received her introduction into journalism at Cordova High School as a writer for their newspaper. Remember the "Teen Appeal" at the Commercial Appeal? Well Bria also was a part of that coveted team as well and always wanted to be the "Black Carrie Bradshaw" growing up. Bria attended St. John's University in New York where she interned for the Wendy Williams show in which she describes her experience in great detail.

Take a listen as Bria describes her humble beginnings in news in Monroe, LA and later in Flint, MI. As a plus sized woman, Jones has received much criticism from news directors regarding her look. However, Bria never wavered in her plight to work in Memphis news. We also discuss the recurring focus on why crime stories leads the headlines in Memphis in which Jones describes as a double edged sword. She gives flowers to some of the greats that have graced our Memphis televisions and set the foundation for Black, female news casters such as Mearl Purvis, Stephanie Scurlock and Claudia Barr. Bria is currently nominated for a Mid-South Emmy Award for her coverage on the Family Dollar rat infestation that temporarily shut down over 400 stores. In addition, you'll hear how Bria loves to wind down and enjoy this "re-birthing" of downtown Memphis and also how she like to indulge in self-care. Bria is extremely proud to represent for the plus sized women in media who often face challenges in a culture that thrives on vanity.
