Who Is Brianna Chickenfry and How Is She Changing the World of Barstool?

Barstool Sports is more commonly known as the Dave Portnoy run, male-centric, sports,and party central. Brianna LaPaglia, better known on social media as Brianna Chickenfry is taking the idea of a Barstool employee to a new level with her crazy college tour.

Brianna started her career by posting relatable videos on her Tik Tok about all sorts of more unspoken content. She pretty much taught the world how to cure a hangover (it’s a Blue Razberry Coolata from Dunkin Donuts), great relationship/boy advice, and of course her ever famous saying “sleep when you’re dead”.  The 21-year-old was sought out by Barstool Sports and offered an internship and not long after a job. Brianna now has her own podcast about how to navigate your early 20s, the blunt and insane podcast that holds nothing back. 

The College Dropout Tour speaks for itself, Brinna herself was a Baldwin Wallace University dropout. Months before her rise to fame on social media she was attending college and planning on becoming a doctor! Today she spends her time traveling to colleges across the state hosting meet and greets and parties for college students and fans alike to enjoy.

The thing that makes someone like Brianna so mesmerizing is that she is a self-made woman who knew what she wanted and did more than most to get there. She was determined enough to drop out of college and throw herself fully into her job and brand. She is relatable and down to earth and as a  21- year-old who was swamped with the fame she isn’t letting her new lifestyle change who she is. 

Brianna is much like the many other women who are becoming prominent in the new generation of social media. She is unafraid to talk about controversial issues and share her personal stories in order to relate and help others feel accepted and understood. Someone like Brianna is unapologetically herself and an empowering female role model, despite her wild stories about her party-girl lifestyle. In today’s society, we need a more empowering and confident woman, a woman that young girls can look up to, a woman that dominates more male-driven companies/fields. Brianna took the world of Barstool by storm and many others have followed in her footsteps. Alex Cooper of Barstool brings the topic of sex and woman empowerment to the forefront, the company now has a female CEO, and so many more women work behind the scene to make the network and social media platform we all know and love. 

Brianna’s story should speak to us all and show us that no matter what we can all live up to our dreams and full potential no matter what field we choose to go into. Brianna was able to take her love for making funny and relatable content and turn it into a full-time career.
