GET OFF MY BACK!

"What are you in right now?"
"I have 73 shows this month"
"What have you been auditioning for?"
"Are you SAG AFTRA yet?"

Blah. Blah. Blah.

This may come as a surprise to you. But, sometimes, I just want to be a regular person around regular people who talk about regular things. Like everyday life. I don't want to talk about my career and the auditions or shows or parts that I may or may not be getting.

Have you ever had functions after work that you dreaded going to because you knew that once you got to the function, everyone was just going to be TALKING ABOUT WORK? Like, excuse me Barb, I am on my second glass of wine, the last thing I want to do is talk about the emails that stressed me out this morning. Hell, Barb need to chill.

I get it, some folks are just genuinely wondering how everything is going with you. While on the other hand, those other folks just want to make sure they're staying one step ahead of you. Over the years, I've learned to tell the difference. I used to feel the need to bite off the heads of anyone that asked about my career.

Them: "Hey Brit! How's the acting coming along? Any luck yet?"
Me: "I'M FREAKING TRYIN! OK?!?!"

To those folks that genuinely wanted to know how everything was going: I am so sorry. I'm not myself when I'm hungry or when I'm stressing out about my career or when I'm trying to get my life together before I turn 30. My bad, I be tripping.

To those people that just want to be nosy: Why don't ya'll get ya'll some business? I promise, when I get this career popping, ya'll will be the first to know.

Lil ugly selves.

Family, the moral of the story is, Do you want me to ask you about your job every time I see you? "Any new stocks?" or "What cases are you solving now?" or "Any weird patients lately?" take a second and imagine that. I know, to the next person, we as artists seem to be living this fun, exciting, life on the edge, but to us, it's work. And this work doesn't come easy. Hell, that's IF it comes at all. (That's what she said. Sorry, I'm immature sometimes.) It's like this, if I've got something going on, I'll let you know. Don't worry.

That being said, get ready for AINTBRITFUNNY dot com in 2018! There are a lot of new things that I will be sharing with you with the re-launch of my site and I am so very excited about it all! Please stay tuned in with me! Ya'll know I got a regular job and branding yourself costs money. I'm going as fast as I can!



I love ya'll and appreciate your support. Don't second guess that. But dang, get off my back.

Glad we had this talk, let's hug it out!

-BRIT

The Good Girl

"Wait, am I going to get in trouble if I do that?" I`ve always been that "by the book" type of person. If I didn`t get permission to do it, it`s not happening. Yep, you guessed it, my friends hated me in high school.  I was the one with the curfew at midnight. No, I couldn`t sneak inside of the house because my mother and father were always sitting on the couch in the front room waiting for me to get in. And if I wasn`t home by midnight, I had a five minute grace period before they were blowing up my little flip phone. "Where are you? Do you know what time it is?" "Yes mom, I`m down the street." We were really just getting off of the highway but it was no red lights and my friend had a heavy foot.  *Shout Out to Laster and Sophia Douglas.* I was always the "good girl" and that was NOT a compliment. Being the good girl meant that you were stuck up, weird, boring, funny acting, etc. I`m actually all of those things when I`m hun...

SHIFT YOUR ENERGY

"Get ready for a shift." Aight so boom... I used to think that only crazy, unfortunate things happened to me . Like, I was the only one to be chubby and teased as a child, I was the only clumsy kid who dropped everything, I never really won anything, I was the only one in the world who tried to make a mother's day spread and it end up being too salty to eat. At one point, I started calling myself "Bad Luck Brit". Whatever energy you put out comes back to you. Photo: Sierra Campbell Because of those experiences, I went through most of life almost always expecting things to turn out for the worst. I mean, I would think of the most horrible case scenario for every situation. Me: *Gets a new job* Also, Me: "Watch, I'm gone get fired for this pink hair and nose ring." Me: *Meets a nice man* Also, Me: "Watch, he gone have a secret relationship, a hidden baby and commitment issues." See what I'm saying? There...

BLACK AND CAREFREE

"While ya'll being distracted by this, look what's happening over here..." Ya'll know exactly who those types of people are on your friends list, don't you? You can't share a few funny memes, indulge in a hot topic discussion or post pictures of your lit brunch without somebody saying "Some of ya'll black folks be worried about the wrong thing!" And yes, some black folks ARE worried about the wrong thing BUT some black folks can worry about more than one thing at once. I mean damn, don't ya'll want a break sometimes? Photo: My Mama. Today's topic is on being BLACK AND CAREFREE . I wanted to make some heart warming post about black folks being able to be happy even in the face of adversity. Being able have joy and be aware at the same time. I had all intentions of posting photos of myself and my friends full of smiles. Making jokes about being black, educated and well spoken but being able to turn that off to be b...
