Q:Where were you born?

Brittany:I was born in Atlanta, Georgia and we moved to new Jersey, my mom and I, when I was two and a half.

Brittany:January 8, 1991. I just celebrated my 10th anniversary.

Q:Have you had to deal with any tragedies at your young age?

Brittany:My mom was sick when I was younger.

Q:What was wrong?

Q:What area of L.A. are you in?

Brittany:On the other side of the hill. When I drive to my house I get to look at the Hollywood sign on the way up. It is so magical. I finally feel like I'm living in Hollywood, California.
