 On this episode, Brittany talks about working her way up the ladder in the entertainment industry and how she found a way to navigate her own path, the importance of raising your hand and asking for what you want in your career, and how motherhood elevated her game and gave her a new creative superpower that she uses in her artistic endeavors. She also gives insight into the lessons she’s learned working on various projects and gives advice to those interested in pursuing a career in directing, producing, or writing-or all three-that being one of the lessons, you don’t have to choose just one!
