When she's not performing or holding her Canon, Brittany is most likely dancing to ABBA on her roof (or really anywhere), shooting hoops, camping by a lake, joining a drum circle, hiking a mountain, at the movie theater, or finding the best doughnuts in town. As someone who felt disconnected from her biracial identity, Brittany is thrilled to be a part of MAM (Mixed Asian Media), a collective platform that captures mixed API stories and experiences and shares them across all mediums.
