Briana Walker
Author, inspirational speaker
|
Briana is the author of a self published book called "Dance
Anyway". Because of the book she has become a popular public speaker in
the church and also for organizations, schools, companies, etc.
Briana tells Famous Mormons "I really enjoy it (speaking) and to
be honest, I never before imagined this as a career and by accident it
has turned out that way. What a great adventure it has been thus far...
One of the highlights was getting invited for a private lunch with
Governor Huntsman and First Lady Mary Kaye Huntsman at the Governor's
mansion. Another was performing live on stage at the Vibe Music Awards
along side of Ludacris and Chingy. Like I said earlier, what a great
adventure."
From her website: On a bright California
Sunday afternoon Briana Walker was
driving on the 55 Freeway when she fainted at the wheel of her black
Honda Accord, hitting the cement median at seventy-five miles per hour.
A young, aspiring dancer, just 23 years old at the time of her accident,
Briana was determined to create an amazing life in spite of her new
circumstances.

Kelly Wiglesworth
Contestant: Survivor Borneo (Season 1, 2000) |
She was a resident of Las
Vegas before appearing on the show. To prepare for the challenge, she
diligently practiced Tae Bo to get in shape. She also maintained a
strict diet of fruits and vegetables to acclimate to the island fare.
But she wasn't prepared for the cast members' sleazy tactics and
back-stabbing in an effort to win the $1 million prize. She won five
immunity challenges, and no one ever voted against her. In the final
episode, she lost to Richard in a vote of three to four.
