Nia Brown Gets Real About Haters, Success, and the Power of Community Collaboration in 2025

Founder of Adult Wannabe and Author of So You Wanna Be An Adult? Shares Her Insights on Resilience, Personal Growth, and Collaboration with Bold Journey.

Washington, D.C. — January 17, 2025

Nia Brown, the Founder and CEO of Adult Wannabe and author of the self-published book So You Wanna Be An Adult?, has been making waves with her empowering message about navigating the challenges of adulthood and embracing personal growth. From overcoming adversity to offering practical advice on building credit, career success, and mental health, Nia’s work is all about helping individuals transform their lives and unlock their potential.

In a recent interview with Bold Journey, Nia shared her journey to success, the importance of resilience, and how she’s tackling the obstacles that come with pursuing a dream. One topic that Nia is especially passionate about is overcoming negativity and criticism—an experience that comes with venturing off the beaten path. “Haters are a part of life, whether you're playing it safe or chasing your dreams,” Nia said. “You can’t control other people’s opinions, but you can absolutely control your reaction.”

Her advice? "If you don’t have haters, you’re probably not doing something right! Keep focused on your growth, your goals, and your craft. Keep them mad, keep God first, and keep grinding."

As a Baltimore native, Nia draws inspiration from her community and personal experiences, including the challenges she faced growing up in a city impacted by systemic racism and socio-economic issues. Adult Wannabe, her platform and mission, is aimed at uplifting people from all walks of life, providing the tools and resources necessary to succeed. “I created Adult Wannabe to help shift the narrative of my city and empower adults to become their most authentic selves,” she explained.

2025: A Year of Opportunity and Growth

Looking ahead to 2025, Nia is excited about the opportunities to expand her impact and connect with diverse communities. “2025 is going to be a year full of new possibilities. We’re aiming to reach more people, empower more communities, and continue sharing the mission of Adult Wannabe—helping individuals embrace the present while planning for the future.”

Through So You Wanna Be An Adult?, Nia offers practical advice on key topics like building healthy credit, returning to school, and setting personal boundaries. But she also shares her own deeply personal journey, including struggles with mental health and her late ADHD diagnosis. The book aims to provide real-world solutions and inspiration for adults facing the complexities of modern life.

Three Key Qualities to Success: Resilience, Optimism, and Flexibility

Reflecting on her personal journey, Nia emphasizes the importance of resilience, optimism, and flexibility. “Mindset is everything. If you’re not resilient, you won’t persevere when things get tough. If you’re not optimistic, it’s easy to give in to self-pity. And if you’re not flexible, you’ll struggle when life doesn’t go as planned,” she explained.

Nia encourages others to adopt these qualities in their daily lives, stressing that no matter the journey, staying committed to the end goal is key to long-term success.

Collaboration and Community Impact

At Adult Wannabe, Nia is also passionate about building a vibrant, supportive community. By partnering with local organizations, non-profits, and small businesses, Adult Wannabe provides access to resources, mentorship programs, and educational initiatives to help individuals build a brighter future.

“Collaboration is at the heart of everything we do. We believe that by working together, we can make a lasting impact,” Nia said. “Our goal is to create an inclusive environment where everyone has the tools and support to succeed.”
