In her spare time, Brittany enjoys reading, writing fiction and poetry, spending time in nature, playing the keyboard, listening to good music, and TV binge watching- especially reality shows. Her favorite literary genre is Black speculative fiction, reading authors such as Octavia Butler, Helen Oyeyemi and Tananarive Due.EtymologyRules is an educational program Brittany created to equip people worldwide with the knowledge and power of words, as word knowledge is key to developing strong communication skills.
