Brittany Wagner is seen here in an episode of Netflix's "Last Chance U" Season 2.

The breakout star of the hit Netflix show “Last Chance U,” Brittany Wagner, will be the keynote speaker at the Cullman Area Chamber of Commerce’s community luncheon Friday.

Registration is still available by contacting the chamber at 256-734-0454 or email info@cullmanchamber.org.

Wagner starred in two seasons of the documentary series that followed football players at East Mississippi Community College — the country’s most dominant junior college football program — during their 2015 football season. Known as the last chance for “troublemakers” to make it to the NFL, Wagner served as their academic advisor but also as a mentor and mother-figure to the young men — often times the driving factor behind their future successes.

As season two of the show unfolded, Wagner left her position at EMCC and launched her own company, 10 Thousand Pencils, offering academic counseling services to schools and athletes across the country.

Now as a nationally respected athletic academic counselor and life coach, she uses the symbolism of her now famous line, “Do you have a pencil?” to motivate individuals everywhere to put forth actual effort in becoming the best they can be.

Wagner uses the pencil and three other physical attributes of the pencil itself as symbols to express her points on how to overcome obstacles and become the best on and off the field of life. She also incorporates stories of actual student-athletes she has worked with and their personal struggles and accomplishments.

Though she oversaw 200 athletes at EMCC, she estimates she spent most of her time on the six to eight who combined Division I athleticism with an inability or unwillingness to keep up the grades needed to transfer to 4-year university. She wants to help those sorts of players — and the smaller schools that might end up dealing with them while lacking the resources deployed at big-money schools.
