Britt’s confessions
Q. DO YOU HAVE A ROLE MODEL OR LIFE MOTTO?
A. Energy flows where your attention goes.
Q. WHAT EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCE STANDS OUT IN YOUR MEMORY?

Q. WHAT CAN YOU NOT LAUGH ABOUT?
A. Derogatory behavior and communication.
Q. WHAT’s Something beautiful that you bought yourself recently?
A. A plane ticket to my favorite city, London – very optimistic for the pre-Christmas season of 2021.
