I know too many Cowboys fans. they can expect a cutesy call from me today.

good morning from Cville! May your light shine brightly through the clouds

I care deeply about public ed. Always have, always will. During my time in CCS, I served as a Student SB Rep. As a 1st year at UVA, I was appointed by VA Gov. Northam as a member of the first VA African American Advisory Board, where I co-chaired the education subcommittee. zyahnabryantforccs.com

such a great event!!

“The vision is bigger than the criticism.” My pastor is preaching today, yall!

It’s as if my remote only knows how to switch between CNN and ESPN.

busy day - replacing the signs that have been stolen/damaged, and connecting with new supporters! Early voting starts tomorrow. zyahnabryantforccs.com 💚

charlottesville: early voting opens tomorrow, and I'll be voting for Zyahna Bryant for school board. donate or request a yard sign here: zyahnabryantforccs.com

I’ve recently heard from friends & community members that some of my campaign yard signs have been stolen or damaged. While it’s disappointing, I’m grateful that signs can be replaced; our movement cannot be erased that easily. The youth shall rise, as we always have. zyahnabryantforccs.com

I missed a softball game in 8th grade to stand up for public education. I believed in our schools then, and I still do. My name is Zyahna Bryant, I’m 24 and I’m running for the Charlottesville School Board. I hope to have your vote in November. zyahnabryantforccs.com

Please join me in voting for Zyahna Bryant for Cville School Boatd

She's got my vote! ❤️

My name is Zyahna Bryant, I’m 24, and I’m running for the Charlottesville School Board! I believe that young people are powerful & we have a lot to say. Now is the time for our community to lean in & support the next generation of leadership. Early voting begins THIS Friday! zyahnabryantforccs.com

Loveee a City Market moment! 💚 today was fun.

66 years ago, 12 students integrated schools in Charlottesville. My uncle Marvin Townsend is a part of that group, as well as my uncle William Townsend. My uncles are my inspiration. When I learned this about my family history, everything changed for me. Legacy. 💚

Did I go canvassing like this yesterday? I did indeed. Did we win? yes we did. Am I a good luck charm??? www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8SRV1vY/

Missed the first half of the game due to canvassing, but two good things. 1. my boys look great 2. a voter saw my Commanders hoodie and told me that she was happy to hear about my campaign, but needed to get back to watching the game. I respect that!! Even a Giants fan said I have his vote. 😊

Hey, I need to remind y'all that *THIS* Thursday, Sept 11, you'll want to be hanging out with a bunch of cool folks at Brazos Tacos (Ix Park). It's very casual, so drop in any time from 5 to 7+ and we'll be there

You are invited to attend the upcoming School Board Candidates Forum being hosted by the Albemarle-Charlottesville NAACP Branch taking place TOMORROW, September 8, 2025 at 7 PM. The event will be held in the Outreach Room of the Sentara Urgent Care Building located at 920 E. High Street, Suite 103

On Friday, I dropped off snack items and drinks for LMA & Tall Oaks Elementary School. The Family & Community Engagement team for CCS is running a snack drive from now until Oct. 3rd! You can drop off items at your school of choice or to the division annex. One great way to support our schools!

Well… What I said was…”The dismissive tone from housing advocates who share none of their lived experience is expected, yet still disappointing. Let’s keep in mind urban renewal and continued displacement is traumatic.“ I see no mention of a parking lot. 😂😬

I’d be careful about how we characterize local Black neighborhoods that push for respectful planning processes from developers. As someone who has been in the rooms and at the tables, I can say that they aren’t against MORE housing in their neighborhood. They want affordability & respect. period.

I’m SO glad NFL season officially kicks off tonight. something to take the edge off. 😬 and yes, i’m a fan of the greatest team in the world. The Washington Commanders.

it’s not enough to provide listening sessions or “info hours” 😶 after you rush a vote. I refuse to subscribe to this idea that there is this silent majority driving this ship that no one has ever seen.

In case no one has told you today, no longer honoring those who fought for slavery isn’t erasure… it’s called making better decisions.

a proud Virginian in this moment. @markwarner.bsky.social is reading RFK Jr. for filth after he admitted during his testimony that he doesn’t know how many Americans died from COVID. absurd.

If you cannot show up in person, here is the zoom registration link: charlottesvilleschools.zoom.us/webinar/regi...

IMPORTANT ACTION ITEM: Show up to the Charlottesville School Board Meeting TOMORROW (9/4) evening to share your thoughts about the draft MOU that would bring SROs back into our schools. It is clear that not all board members are interested in deep community engagement. So, BE THERE. 5 PM.

also: more contested local elections please. it poses a real challenge to the community who is trying to be heard when your seat is secured for re-election nearly by default.

imagine that, there are “people” who are too afraid to make a public comment stating why they believe that homelessness should be criminalized. embarrassing.

Cville peeps, it's time to make your voice heard! Charlottesville city council is considering an action that will, in effect, criminalize homelessness in city limits. We keep each other safe. Act now—there are simple steps in the thread below—and tell council to reject the police chief's request!

*back to my one vacation for the summer* see y’all soon.

Just so we’re all on the same page regarding my well-documented advocacy for reform in our school communities. www.washingtonpost.com/local/educat...

More affordable housing is needed! AND it’s a complex issue that requires attention to historical wrongs by those in positions of power. Happy to see advocates holding space for all of it. www.cvilletomorrow.org/proposal-for...

November 4th will be here really soon! I’m so grateful for all of the support I’ve received for my campaign for the Charlottesville School Board! If you’d like a yard sign to be delivered to your house, please fill out this request form: forms.gle/QetaCWgsrTou... Thank you! 💚

We got it done! All of the students aren’t pictured, but all of the local first-gen students are moved into their campuses! I cannot thank you all enough for your help. This is community ❤️

My father transitioned on Saturday morning. My heart is hurting. This is really hard. I am glad that I was able to be by his side in the end. All my siblings and I want is to give him a proper farewell. He deserves that. We appreciate all the love & support. ❤️ www.gofundme.com/f/help-us-ho...
