Now the mum-of-two has hit back at the meanies who say she is exploiting her kids for views.
“People say I’m exploiting my daughters for views,” she told Truly.
Her eldest daughter, Ryder now has over 60,000 followers on Instagram and in the YouTube clip Brionna could be seen setting up a light and tripod for her daughters so they could film content.
The mum explained that she wasn’t doing it for money, instead she wanted to give her daughters the chance to express themselves, whether that’s dancing or partaking in viral social media trends.
But she revealed not everyone was happy the young girls having social media accounts already, and that’s not where it ends.
Brionna decided to foster children to give them a better start in life, and Ryder was soon put into her care.
The pair bonded over a period of seven months, and when it became evident her biological mother would not be able to look after Ryder, Brionna adopted her.
Not long after, the mum then went on to adopt Londyn, which took no time at all as she was the biological sister to Ryder and social care wanted to keep them together.
However, the family have been exposed to hateful comments when out in public says Brionna, who claims people are constantly making comments about who their mum is.
Brionna said: “In public, people are always looking at me and always asking, am I babysitting? When the kids call me mom, they have a confused look on their face because they’re white and I’m black.”
The ridiculous comments and stereotypes don’t get to Brionna though and she loves her daughters just as any mum would.
She was always inspired to help children who needed to get a better start in life, and she’s done exactly that.
“I saw so many kids in the system and they don’t have their biological parents there for them. Some of them have no hope. I wanted to raise a kid to better their life,” Brionna said
Comments from the YouTube video were quick to congratulate the mum and praise her for her parenting.
