We were lucky to catch up with Bria Harris recently and have shared our conversation below.

Bria, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today We’d love to hear about the things you feel your parents did right and how those things have impacted your career and life.

My mother has always been the most holistic person I know. She has always been conscious of the food she fed us and what she’d allow in the house. We didn’t grow up with junk food, especially food dyes. She didn’t like cleaners and sprays with heavy chemicals. She always incorporated fresh fruits and vegetables into our meals while also teaching us about a variety of cuisines. My mothers’ teaching has carried me to be the herbalist and home economics coach that I am. Watching her maintain our home showed me the importance of knowing how to heal your home through home economics.

My father is very well-spoken and a businessman at heart. Growing up, I always admired how he could walk in a room and talk to every person. He is charismatic and witty but also analytical and methodical. He encompasses the necessary characteristics that I see in an entrepreneur. Watching my dad has taught me to dream big, that success requires strong-will and consistency, and communication is key. They have inherently passed down the best parts of themselves and I have the honor of carrying them forward.

Bria, love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?

My name is Bria Harris. I started my craft while in the military on deployment. I could never find products that accommodated my needs. I began making my own hygiene products for friends, coworkers, and myself. Over the years I began to realize the harmful chemicals in our food, soap, cleaners, toothpaste, room sprays, etc. I began making these products for personal use. In 2019, I transitioned from active duty military and started Moor Natural. I started with our Body Butter. Due to popularity, I began adding more handmade products such as liquid and bar soap, toothpaste, herbal teas, oil blends, and even a cookbook. The difference in my products is that they are all handmade, natural, and very simple non-toxic ingredients. I want people to know that transitioning to a Moor Natural lifestyle is not hard. It does take effort but is absolutely obtainable and I am here to help. We are currently working on classes to teach people about home health, herbs, and self-care to make and sell their own products to maintain their home & welcome prosperity.

Learning and unlearning are both critical parts of growth – can you share a story of a time when you had to unlearn a lesson?

I always hated the question “What do you want to be when you grow up?” because it forces you to narrow down to one title. I’d rather ask, “what do you want to do for the next 5 years?”. In 5 years, you can do something so well that you are ready to move on to bigger and better or give that title another 5 years. . but consider how many titles (experiences) you could have if you live 5 years at a time. I spent so much time building a part of my life that didn’t fulfil me, just because I thought I had to pick one thing & stay with it for life. Having the courage to completely pivot career paths has allowed me to explore and arrive at my passion. Now I get to expand on a career that makes me happy while remaining open to try new things.

Do you think you’d choose a different profession or specialty if you were starting now?

Without question. I believe we are in the midst of a revolution with the way we handle work & home balance, what values we have around home & family, and how we want our future to be raised. I believe I am in Divine line with my purpose. I am here to help build homes & family through a Moor Natural lifestyle.
