Speaker 1: run that back. Hey guys, welcome to another episode of
Speaker 1: Eating Broke. I'm your host, Coly Witt, and today we're
Speaker 1: taking it back to life with Love Britney.
Speaker 2: I like that, you see that.
Speaker 1: Thank you for coming on here and filming with me
Speaker 1: and taking time out of your crazy schedule. You're artist,
Speaker 1: you are an entrepreneur, you are a cook. She a
Speaker 1: triple threat, and today you are will be having us
Speaker 1: eat what lanchos l nachos?
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, what.
Speaker 1: Kind of nachos is l nachos? Tell us the ingredients?
Speaker 2: Okay, So we're gonna use ground turkey. I like that. Now.
Speaker 2: Back when I was eating while broke, I used beef. Okay,
Speaker 2: but it's just certain things I ain't going back to.
Speaker 2: So we're gonna use ground turkey today because it's more healthy.
Speaker 2: And then We're gonna use the reed ales as our
Speaker 2: chip use. It's just something about them nacho cheese. The
Speaker 2: reed alls when you're eating some nachos, they hit different.
Speaker 2: So we got cheddar shredded cheddar chea because I love
Speaker 2: cheddar cheese, specifically fresh sauce to sour cream, shredded lettuce.
Speaker 2: We're gonna add a little bit of green pepper, little
Speaker 2: onion to our ground turkey. Okay, And of course we
Speaker 2: got our seasonings because that is what makes or breaks
Speaker 2: any dish to me is how well you season it.
Speaker 2: And we are gonna season our ground with a little
Speaker 2: bit of the McCormick taco season. We got some onion powder,
Speaker 2: some garlic powder, some peprika, some salt, some pepper and cumin.
Speaker 2: You ad it and cuman.
Speaker 1: Yeah, do you taste the kuman when you cook it?
Speaker 1: Because I have it, but I never could taste it. Really,
Speaker 1: I put.
Speaker 2: Enough to taste it. But it's cuman is what gives
Speaker 2: the taco season and that taco season, and taste it
Speaker 2: is cuman.
Speaker 1: Yeah, teach you something.
Speaker 2: And then a little bit of virgin olive oil because
Speaker 2: ground turkey can cook a little dry sometimes.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that keep it yeah. So one of our guests
Speaker 1: on our show did this trick where he puts soy
Speaker 1: sauce in it. Oh, and you want to know something.
Speaker 1: I was like, crazy, but you want to know something.
Speaker 1: Taco was not dry at all. And I said, mental note.
Speaker 1: And now when I make ground turkey, I put soy
Speaker 1: sauce in it.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna have to try to soy sauce is a
Speaker 2: good like substitute for salt. Sometimes makes sense to me.
Speaker 1: Makes sense. All right, So go ahead and get in
Speaker 1: the kitchen. Lave Britain. All right, here we go, and
Speaker 1: take me back to what was going on during the
Speaker 1: era of Dorito nachos or la nachos. You said, l
Speaker 1: nachos lachos.
Speaker 2: I used to cook this meal for my family, which
Speaker 2: consists of me and my two sons and my baby daddy.
Speaker 2: At that time. This was a long time ago, though.
Speaker 2: This was like at this point, probably like over over
Speaker 2: fifteen years ago.
Speaker 1: Oh that's good. That means you got a good story.
Speaker 2: Yeah, this was a long time ago. We were living
Speaker 2: in the projects in Detroit, YEP. And life was really good.
Speaker 2: To be honest with you, it was fun. I remember
Speaker 2: I was like nineteen twenty years old, and I was
Speaker 2: like one of the only people in my friend group
Speaker 2: to have like my own apartment because all my other
Speaker 2: friends once we graduated from high school, they all went
Speaker 2: off to college. But me, I was a teenage mother.
Speaker 2: I was gone. I had a family.
Speaker 1: So how old were you when you had your first child.
Speaker 2: I was fourteen when I got pregnant with him, fifteen
Speaker 2: when I had oh yeah, oh wow. And then I
Speaker 2: was actually nineteen when I had my second son.
Speaker 1: So when did you get your first apartment when you
Speaker 1: were Not when you're fifteen?
Speaker 2: Nope, I got my first apartment right when I turned eighteen.
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, yeah, yep.
Speaker 2: This was one of those meals that as I raised
Speaker 2: my sons over there we would eat. Me and my
Speaker 2: sister want all my friends to come over. We'll all
Speaker 2: have taco Tuesdays. We'll make nachos. We will make tacos
Speaker 2: like my tacos are still my fan favorite favorite.
Speaker 1: Oh so I'm about to really enjoy this today.
Speaker 2: If I would have made my tacos, you would have
Speaker 2: really enjoyed it.
Speaker 1: Why do you do that to me? I know why
Speaker 1: you do that. I can't believed we needed.
Speaker 2: Some flower tortillas, and we would do you fright them
Speaker 2: by them, that's what make them so good. Why you
Speaker 2: do that? I don't know. Oh, I got you.
Speaker 1: I went back and forth with Jennifer on these meals
Speaker 1: and I was like, you sure, you sure? You sure?
Speaker 1: Because I after seeing your cooking.
Speaker 2: I'm like, cause you know what it was you said

Speaker 1: Okay, we'll run that back.
Speaker 2: We'll just run it back.
Speaker 1: We'll run it back. So take me back. So you're
Speaker 1: having the family life as a young mom, and but
Speaker 1: you said that was the best times I became a mom,
Speaker 1: and I can honestly say that was the hardest times
Speaker 1: of my life. So to hear you say it was
Speaker 1: the best is interesting. Oh I like it. Okay, I
Speaker 1: thought it was because she kept going like this, there's
Speaker 1: a fly in the studio. I like your hair though,
Speaker 1: when you flipping like that, just flip it over. Okay,
Speaker 1: So tell me, like, why do you consider a great time?
Speaker 1: Was it? Did you have a bunch of childcare or something.
Speaker 2: No, it was just honestly, it was just a fun time,
Speaker 2: like we were all we just would have fun. It
Speaker 2: seemed like life at that time was like, granted, we
Speaker 2: have the struggles of being a mother. We have just struggles.
Speaker 2: I feel like that have never went away in life.
Speaker 2: But at that time I felt like it was so
Speaker 2: just innocent love. Life was new to us because we
Speaker 2: were just out of high schools. Once you graduate from
Speaker 2: high school, you are entering into this new phase of life.
Speaker 2: And my life was me being a mother to my
Speaker 2: hold on my life was but I don't want to
Speaker 2: kill it.
Speaker 1: Guys, Just for all the listeners, there's a fly in
Speaker 1: the studio and Benny's over here doing the full know
Speaker 1: you got it.
Speaker 2: I'm scared to kill it over here because we don't
Speaker 2: want to kill it in the pool.
Speaker 1: No, all right, continue to face.
Speaker 2: My life was me being a mom to my two sons.
Speaker 2: One was a toddler at that time and the other
Speaker 2: one was a baby. Me and my ex we have
Speaker 2: been together since I was a teenager. It was like
Speaker 2: your first love, yeah yeah, And we were like we
Speaker 2: was hustling together. We were just trying to figure out
Speaker 2: life as young parents, and it was fun, like we
Speaker 2: would have all our friends come over like we was
Speaker 2: we were young, but like the grown.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you were like the young adults. All your friends
Speaker 1: are probably living in dorms. You guys are like come
Speaker 1: to my house.
Speaker 2: That literally, like we was all just turning twenty. I
Speaker 2: turned twenty one living there, We're getting turned there. Now
Speaker 2: we could buy bottles. It was a It was a
Speaker 2: time in my life that I will never forget, honestly.
Speaker 1: And what were you guys doing to take care of
Speaker 1: your family?
Speaker 2: So we both had jobs like my he worked, I worked.
Speaker 2: I would work a bunch of different jobs because I
Speaker 2: don't like I've always had a very entrepreneur mentality my
Speaker 2: whole life because when I had my first son, I
Speaker 2: wasn't even old enough to get a job. So in
Speaker 2: order for me to go to school, I used to
Speaker 2: break here to make money so I could pay for
Speaker 2: him to go to daycare. Oh no, that's when I
Speaker 2: was like fifteen fourteen. As I got older, I always
Speaker 2: also had to work a job, Like my first job
Speaker 2: was taco bill okay, So like I would work jobs
Speaker 2: like at that time, I was bartending down at in
Speaker 2: clubs downtown Detroit. I wasn't even old enough to bartend.
Speaker 2: I wasn't even twenty one yet.
Speaker 1: But how were you able to pull that off?
Speaker 2: Because they just loved me at home? You know, they
Speaker 2: they like, how did you le bring me? You love
Speaker 2: pretty girls behind the bar? You feel me? So I
Speaker 2: was actually running up a check at home as a bartender.
Speaker 2: I ain't gonna lie. I missed them days that fast cash.
Speaker 1: It was funny. Now, how did your parents take the
Speaker 1: news of you becoming a young parent.
Speaker 2: It was very shocking to them. It was something that
Speaker 2: they definitely had to adjust to. But shout out to
Speaker 2: my mama because when she found out, I was already
Speaker 2: like seven almost eight months pregnant.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, why did you wait? You waited that
Speaker 1: long to tell her?
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was. It was a scary time. So by
Speaker 2: the time she found out, it was like, Okay, what
Speaker 2: do we do?
Speaker 1: And you can't get a whooping when you're seven months?
Speaker 1: Did you plan it so you wouldn't get a whooping?
Speaker 2: No? I actually I did not plan it so I
Speaker 2: wouldn't get a whooping. No, that wasn't even my thought process.
Speaker 2: I was just scared. I was scared. Yeah, it was scared.
Speaker 2: I was scared to say, tell anybody.
Speaker 1: You ran on the baggy closer.
Speaker 2: I wore baggy clothes.
Speaker 1: The stuff we do.
Speaker 2: Just so stupid. Like when I think about it now,
Speaker 2: I'll just be like, that's why I talk about it
Speaker 2: a lot and a lot of my TikTok videos and
Speaker 2: stuff like that, when I'll be telling these kids, like listen,
Speaker 2: first off, practice abstinence, and secondly, I know just in
Speaker 2: real life you gonna have sex, protect yourself, and if
Speaker 2: you get pregnant, tell somebody, because there's so many things
Speaker 2: I could have went wrong with me. Thank god, I'm
Speaker 2: covered by the grace of gods.
Speaker 1: Because you weren't going to like doctors.
Speaker 2: I wasn't doing none of that. Like me and my
Speaker 2: son are healthy, thank god. And so it's nothing to
Speaker 2: play with. That's it. We laugh at it, but it's
Speaker 2: not funny for real. It's really I.
Speaker 1: Didn't even think about that. Yeah, that because you're so
Speaker 1: focused on hiding it. But and but nobody, no adults new,
Speaker 1: not even like an auntie or someone.
Speaker 2: Not until until I would. I stayed at my dad's
Speaker 2: and they was like, but mind you. At that point,
Speaker 2: I was like seven months and they was like, it
Speaker 2: ain't right. Brick looked like she gained a weight, she's
Speaker 2: sleeping a lot, and they called my mama, and my
Speaker 2: mama was like, Brick, this is what your dad saying.
Speaker 2: And at that point I couldn't deny it. I was
Speaker 2: just like as soon as I lifted up my church,
Speaker 2: that was a very crazy time, a very crazy yes,
Speaker 2: I did.
Speaker 1: Like did she ask you to or you were like surprised?
Speaker 1: This where theway game came from.
Speaker 2: I think she was like, let your shirt up, and
Speaker 2: I was like, I feel.
Speaker 1: Like, let's go out in the yard first.
Speaker 2: So then she took me to the hospital and the
Speaker 2: doctor was like she's such and such weeks. And then
Speaker 2: a couple weeks later, my mama threw me the most
Speaker 2: banging baby showers in my life in our basement, baby
Speaker 2: showers full of high school kids. Crazy. She helped she
Speaker 2: cleared out a room in our house, set up the
Speaker 2: most beautiful nursery for my son I have. I had
Speaker 2: at that time and still have to this day, an
Speaker 2: amazing support system from my family on both sides of
Speaker 2: the family, my family and my children's father's sides. So
Speaker 2: I'm grateful for that for sure.
Speaker 1: Are you and your children's father like close? Now I
Speaker 1: ain't close to.
Speaker 2: The niggas, but I'm thankful for them for me. Just
Speaker 2: great good fathers doing the best that they knew how
Speaker 2: to do, or doing the best that they know how
Speaker 2: to do.
Speaker 1: Do you feel like women carry a bulk of I
Speaker 1: tell this skit on social media where it was like
Speaker 1: a man co parenting versus the woman co parenting. It's
Speaker 1: like the woman's carrying a bulk of the responsibility. Yeah,
Speaker 1: compared to the man.
Speaker 2: I think naturally that just happens because one, we are
Speaker 2: the creators of the children's I think the attachment that
Speaker 2: we have to our children is going as a mother
Speaker 2: is different than what a father has anyway. And then
Speaker 2: because we breastfeed.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it's like a whole nother life. I will
Speaker 1: die for you.
Speaker 2: Yeah. And as women were naturally nurtured. Yeah. And then
Speaker 2: in our society the way the capitalists capitalism goes the
Speaker 2: wife stay at home, could clean, take your kids and
Speaker 2: go out work, make the money, provide and bring it back.
Speaker 2: You feel me? So? Yeah, women definitely carry more responsibility
Speaker 2: when it comes to children than men. A lot most
Speaker 2: of the time.
Speaker 1: Just for y'all listeners, I'm gonna mc lebrini's dish. She
Speaker 1: added onions and peppers to her very seasoned meat. It
Speaker 1: looks juicy, not dry. It's very good. Did you add
Speaker 1: water or something?
Speaker 2: Nothing I could ever be dry?
Speaker 1: What you make it looks not dry at all.
Speaker 2: But what you do so remember I told you add
Speaker 2: a little bit of olive oil.
Speaker 1: I got it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, I know that's why a lot of people
Speaker 2: be afraid to cook with ground turkey because gets drying
Speaker 2: and it's hard to season. Like you have to overseason
Speaker 2: ground turkey to really be able to taste the flavors.
Speaker 2: And when you add onions and peppers and stuff to it,
Speaker 2: it help with the flavor.
Speaker 1: Okay. So you're hustling, you're supporting your kids with multiple jobs,
Speaker 1: and a very young bartender running up a chat tag
Speaker 1: at this point, do you have an idea of what
Speaker 1: your long term goals are?
Speaker 2: As I was doing that, I was also pursuing music.
Speaker 2: I was in a girl group at home based out
Speaker 2: of Detroit, and we would rehearse every single day, vocal lessons,
Speaker 2: performance coaching, media coaching. We would study different DVDs and
Speaker 2: CD CDs of our favorite artists. For hours we would
Speaker 2: do like face exercises. I was managing artists development. I
Speaker 2: was in a production company called Pajam. I don't know
Speaker 2: if the gospel singer j Moss a Detroit based Okay, yep,
Speaker 2: very successful, well known production somebody by the name of
Speaker 2: the jam.
Speaker 1: So I was this is after giving birth. This was
Speaker 1: going into giving birth.
Speaker 2: My second son. This was like within the same right
Speaker 2: after I had him.
Speaker 1: It was on and they knew you were a young mom. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and they weren't intimidated by it. They were like, nah, man,
Speaker 1: her talent is so good.
Speaker 2: We're gonna they love me. They still love me to day. Wow. Yeah.
Speaker 2: And then I've always even before that, I always I
Speaker 2: was like in acchoired dance classes, like I've always been
Speaker 2: a performer talent shows. I've always written music, like just
Speaker 2: my passion has always been music and performance.
Speaker 1: Now that didn't cause your parents to question the teen
Speaker 1: pregnancy at all, because here is like they know their
Speaker 1: child is this is a line of work and at
Speaker 1: that time being pregnant and performance. It's not today where
Speaker 1: Cardi B's on stage with a belly and BEYONCEA has
Speaker 1: their kids. It's a different ear.
Speaker 2: You gotta think about it. Like, first off, I grew
Speaker 2: up in a single parent household, and if I was
Speaker 2: intention I was intentionally wearing baggy clothes to cover up.
Speaker 2: But when I would go cheer at games and things
Speaker 2: like that, it is what it is.
Speaker 1: Okay, none of that swayed you. You were like, no
Speaker 1: matter what, this is the end goal.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like I've always known, even through becoming a mother
Speaker 2: as a teenager, I've always known who I was and
Speaker 2: what I loved and what I'm here to do. I
Speaker 2: think that it definitely delayed my progress, and I wasn't
Speaker 2: able to prioritize my music or my artistry because now
Speaker 2: I had real life priorities. I gotta survive now. But
Speaker 2: I've never stopped working towards my goals ever.
Speaker 1: Were there seasons where you were like literally had to
Speaker 1: step back for the season, like three months or six months.
Speaker 2: It still be like that to this day.
Speaker 1: Oh wow, yeah, you just so successful.
Speaker 2: It's still like that, like this year. Yeah, It's been
Speaker 2: like that plenty of times. But I think that's a
Speaker 2: blessing though, is to have the choice to step back
Speaker 2: and take time and dedicate to other things to prioritize
Speaker 2: other things, because sometimes you need a break from it
Speaker 2: anyway to be reinspired to love it again. Because the
Speaker 2: music industry is very hard. It's taxing mentally and physically,
Speaker 2: so sometimes you need a break. It's necessary.
Speaker 1: And what season did you end up coming out from
Speaker 1: Detroit to LA?
Speaker 2: So I started coming to LA when I was like seventeen,
Speaker 2: and I was back and forth for years. I was
Speaker 2: back and forth for a very long time.
Speaker 1: Wow, how are you coming back and forth?
Speaker 2: So I worked. I was, I was flown out by
Speaker 2: for showcases and stuff our management. But then after that
Speaker 2: I got a job at Delta Airlines in Detroit.
Speaker 1: You're a hustle. Let me just tell you something. You're
Speaker 1: a testament to like the bar what hustling but continues.
Speaker 2: So I hung on to that job for seven years
Speaker 2: literally just for the flight benefits. And they loved me
Speaker 2: so much at that job that they let me work
Speaker 2: like three hundred hours eve so I can keep my
Speaker 2: benefits because they knew what I was trying to. Like,
Speaker 2: they really support me there. Every time I go home
Speaker 2: and I fly through DTW Delta terminal.
Speaker 1: We're so proud of you. Shout out to y'all, what
Speaker 1: was your job Delta?
Speaker 2: So I started off as what was called QSA, right
Speaker 2: or what is first off? I started working at Delta
Speaker 2: when it was Northwest, honey, Okay. I was there when
Speaker 2: Delta bought out Northwest, so let's start there. But my
Speaker 2: first job with them was I would just transport kids,
Speaker 2: unaccompanied miners that were flying by themselves from gate to
Speaker 2: gate or from gate to the unaccompanied minor room.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 2: And then when Northwest bought out, when Delta brought out Northwest,
Speaker 2: they eliminated that position.
Speaker 1: I was about to ask, do they still have that?
Speaker 2: They do, but it's not that it's not called that anymore.
Speaker 2: Now they just use their gate agents to do it.
Speaker 2: But when Delta bought out Northwest, then I became just
Speaker 2: to see us, and then I was the person working
Speaker 2: the gates, like Hi, welcome to Kate A thirty four
Speaker 2: with flight from Detroit, Michigan to Miami, Florida. My name
Speaker 2: is Labrittany, and I'll be a gay agent today.
Speaker 1: I loved doing that because I.
Speaker 2: Loved so when I got to they would be like
Speaker 2: brine taking mic, pick the mic. That was my favorite
Speaker 2: part of that job. But it was crazy though. I
Speaker 2: managed to hang on to that job for as long
Speaker 2: as I because then I started to get much busier,
Speaker 2: started to work harder within my music and I was
Speaker 2: out here shooting music videos and recording and just starting
Speaker 2: to grow. And then it's like I couldn't even work
Speaker 2: my little three hundred hours there, and so.
Speaker 1: I had to That means no more benefits.
Speaker 2: That, And I was so you don't even get discounted.
Speaker 2: I don't get no no more. That girl, when you
Speaker 2: don't work for them, no more, they ain't give you.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you something. I got a girl that
Speaker 1: works for Delta, and I tell her all the time,
Speaker 1: sign me up.
Speaker 2: Listen that dom flight benefits honey, because it was not
Speaker 2: only me, but it was me and my whole family.
Speaker 2: So my kids was coming out here, they've been coming
Speaker 2: out here since they was their whole life.
Speaker 1: And you was fly all around the world, all around
Speaker 1: the world.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Man, I still want to I'm sorry, I still want
Speaker 1: to add Delta to my resume.
Speaker 2: I tell anybody who don't know exactly what they want
Speaker 2: to do, I say, go work at the airline. To me,
Speaker 2: is one of the best jobs.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because then you get to see the world and
Speaker 1: really feel your footing right, and you're not paying for it.
Speaker 2: You like some of them. You may have to pay
Speaker 2: taxes on like international bits. But traveling has always been
Speaker 2: outside of music, it's my favorite thing to do.
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, I would totally do. I'm telling you, you're
Speaker 1: you're gonna be flying through the airport and say, Coli,
Speaker 1: what are you doing checking these bags?
Speaker 2: Listen, I'm telling you that's my favorite thing to do
Speaker 2: is to travel. Okay.
Speaker 1: So you're working at Delta, You're doing all these hustles,
Speaker 1: You're coming back and forth, you're working. This is you
Speaker 1: as a teenager. But when do you officially move.
Speaker 2: To la I got my first spot out here maybe
Speaker 2: like two thousand and seventeen, yep. And then I've had
Speaker 2: a place out here ever since. Place here in a
Speaker 2: spot at home.
Speaker 1: Oh you have both. I go to Detroit probably once
Speaker 1: a year now, and I just think anyone that comes
Speaker 1: from that environment deserves like an award really because of respect.
Speaker 1: It's for me, it's still hard to understand the landscape
Speaker 1: of one block looks like a bomb headed. There'll be
Speaker 1: two great houses on one block. There's some great nowighborhoods,
Speaker 1: But I still don't understand the dynamic of why the
Speaker 1: whole community isn't like on the same page.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Detroit is building up now. It's a lot of
Speaker 2: amazing things going on in Detroit, and not to mention
Speaker 2: for that reason, Detroit is one of the best places
Speaker 2: to buy real estate. So Detroit has come up so
Speaker 2: much in the past ten years. I definitely think Detroit
Speaker 2: will once again be one of the greatest cities in America,
Speaker 2: because we already are. We just took a hit with
Speaker 2: the bankruptcy and all that stuff.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's a lot of great talent that comes great entrepreneurs.
Speaker 1: Speaking of entrepreneurs, you can we talk a little bit
Speaker 1: about your fashion.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I have a clothing store. It's called Our Nation Shop.
Speaker 2: And what inspired me to turn to build an actual store.
Speaker 2: I've always been into fashion. I've always loved like dressing
Speaker 2: looking good. I always loved the soul cloths and things.
Speaker 2: But when I did my first headline and show it's
Speaker 2: called the Labrini Show at Home and detroyed, I had
Speaker 2: my merch at my show, and so my tickets sold out. Right,
Speaker 2: it's a set venue, so you only make a certain
Speaker 2: amount of money off how off your tickets. But what
Speaker 2: I didn't realize was my merch is unlimited, unlimited, and
Speaker 2: I made so much money off my merch. I'm like,
Speaker 2: hold on, Okay, that's one and then two. I'm really
Speaker 2: known for creating like really viral content on the Internet

Speaker 2: fit we feel like we have lost it or just
Speaker 2: lost sight.

Speaker 2: it's just it's just such. It's such a good, feel
Speaker 2: good record. If you haven't listened to it, you should.
Speaker 2: It's actually doing really good now. I'm an independent artist.
Speaker 2: So I don't have the support of hundreds of thousands
Speaker 2: of dollars in marketing or radio and stuff like that,
Speaker 2: not yet, but this but my music does good organically
Speaker 2: or back to life has been moving the truth love
Speaker 2: it because when you make quality music, people gonna feel Yeah,
Speaker 2: you feel me, no matter how many playlists you own. Yeah,
Speaker 2: so people been rocked the wittiest all shout out to y'all.
Speaker 1: Speaking of marketing, you've do you feel like you've mastered it?
Speaker 1: Because even watching you come in here, you move different.
Speaker 1: You move yes, you set up your streams, you're very strategic,
Speaker 1: you're playing chess not checkers. You're out here to do
Speaker 1: your thing. Yeah, do you feel like you're mastering that
Speaker 1: part of the block mastered?
Speaker 2: I don't feel like I've completely mastered it because when
Speaker 2: it comes to marketing there's so many aspects. But when
Speaker 2: it comes to social media marketing.
Speaker 1: Social media marketing, I'm sorry, Yeah, definitely, but that's one
Speaker 1: of the hardest ones. To be honest, You think so,
Speaker 1: I think, so, I guess for you, you got to
Speaker 1: try I will. I'm gonna do it the way you
Speaker 1: can tell me to do it. The only reason why
Speaker 1: I think for you, you may say, oh, it's not
Speaker 1: that hard because you've God has blessed you with the
Speaker 1: viral ability on a lot of your posts and stuff.
Speaker 1: But for the rest of the world, I don't know
Speaker 1: if it's that that it comes that easy for them.
Speaker 2: It doesn't. And that's why I help people with their
Speaker 2: It's like I have artists now, I have artists and
Speaker 2: brands that where I help them shoot their content and
Speaker 2: help brand their content for them. That's something that I
Speaker 2: do in my spare time only with people that I
Speaker 2: really love and that I'm inspired by, because creating content
Speaker 2: is not as easy as it looks, or just mastering
Speaker 2: social media as a whole. It's a lot of work
Speaker 2: mentally and physically. It's a lot of creative power that
Speaker 2: goes into it, and it's a very strategic way to
Speaker 2: shoot things and how to edit things to make them
Speaker 2: go viral as well, like certain things yousould say when
Speaker 2: you are creating certain type of content. So these are
Speaker 2: skills and things that I have mastered over the past
Speaker 2: like ten years. Just my first viral piece of content
Speaker 2: was called the lo Mix, and I was shooting those
Speaker 2: when Instagram could only do fifteen second videos and yeah,
Speaker 2: and those videos were so viral. So what I do
Speaker 2: is is like a college video of me recreating in
Speaker 2: a song, and I recreate the beat using household items
Speaker 2: like or tega, oh I love that, boons and knives,
Speaker 2: pots and pants, and then I sing it and I
Speaker 2: arrange like the harmonies and the melodies or the song.
Speaker 2: So that's one. That's how I really started to grow
Speaker 2: my following, my fan base on social media. That's how
Speaker 2: a lot of the world first seeing me as an artist.
Speaker 1: And do you analyze when you're done? Do you analyze
Speaker 1: every detail about your audience in those I do.
Speaker 2: I am on my analytics page all day, paying attention
Speaker 2: to like the timing and everything, who my audience is,
Speaker 2: where they from, how old they are. I see everything
Speaker 2: all my comments. People might not think I do, because
Speaker 2: you'll be like, oh, she got so many followers and
Speaker 2: get so many likes, she ain't gonna see if I
Speaker 2: don't like it. Yes, I do. I know when you
Speaker 2: like my I know who I like it like.
Speaker 1: You'll go through that, even the light session. I love that.
Speaker 1: I love that. Now do you have a guilty pleasure,
Speaker 1: whether it's good comments or bad comments? Like I lean
Speaker 1: towards I love the bad comments. I'm weird. Most people
Speaker 1: get depressed. I'm like, oh my god, you not believe
Speaker 1: they compare me to a man this week? But do
Speaker 1: you have a favorite version of comments, like the love
Speaker 1: versus the hate?
Speaker 2: You know what it depends. I appreciate the love always
Speaker 2: way more than hate. But sometimes I do the hate
Speaker 2: comments because hate. Because people like you who love hate
Speaker 2: comments bring a lot of traction to your content. So
Speaker 2: if it's a hate content, people to come and they
Speaker 2: see the hot hate content and then they start arguing
Speaker 2: with the person engagement. Yeah, so now you're pushing my
Speaker 2: content into the algorithm more because of your hate.
Speaker 1: Oh wow, No, to all your hater it really is supportant.
Speaker 1: So I wanted to ask you also in regards to
Speaker 1: social media. I know you said you help out people
Speaker 1: that you genuinely want to support. Have you decided to
Speaker 1: open that up as also like a consulting part of
Speaker 1: your I feel like you're such a hustler you could
Speaker 1: totally do that.
Speaker 2: So I've actually been trying to my son to manage
Speaker 2: and run that really. Yeah, so right now, it's just
Speaker 2: loc I don't promote it online or anything like that
Speaker 2: because it's a lot of work, and also you it's
Speaker 2: a creative thing. You have to be inspired by that
Speaker 2: your client. So I've been working with him when he's
Speaker 2: actually really good. I do have like different producers that
Speaker 2: I work with too that I will bring on to
Speaker 2: certain jobs with me. So it is something that I'm
Speaker 2: currently working on. I've been working on it for the
Speaker 2: last couple of years, honestly.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then with your music start to bounce around.
Speaker 1: Matter of fact, let's pause, let's pause. Let's take a
Speaker 1: bite of these gorgeous nachos. Okay, let's do it. We
Speaker 1: have to do it.
Speaker 2: I have not had I haven't made these.
Speaker 1: You got to pull your hair back for this one.
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Can we eat? Can we eat? I'm trying to get
Speaker 1: everything on my nachal chip.
Speaker 2: Man.
Speaker 1: I wasn't really talking to you. Oh my god, Oh
Speaker 1: my god. You know how to flavor when you post
Speaker 1: your videos? Do guys go in your damns? Like, hey,
Speaker 1: do guys love it? Be like we ain gonna cook
Speaker 1: for me. I'm like, we ain't gonna build me a house.
Speaker 1: You say that because the guy ever been like, I'll
Speaker 1: buy the groceries you cook.
Speaker 2: I do not that is not gonna work for me.
Speaker 1: Yo, let me just tell you something. You seasoned the
Speaker 1: heck out of this. It's so good. And we've had
Speaker 1: the reto nachos before, but yours may have ranked up
Speaker 1: the highest. Gone, all right, it's hard to stop eating, girl,
Speaker 1: this is awesome. Yeah, trying not to eat into the mic,
Speaker 1: but we're gonna take two seconds to eat these. Man,
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness. Bread. I was gonna ask you why
Speaker 1: you don't use the salt.
Speaker 2: Cheese then cheese, because I feel like they make them
Speaker 2: too stalgy.
Speaker 1: The hollow panos are a must. Hallow panos are a must.
Speaker 2: The fresh ones.
Speaker 1: If the peppers and the meat everything comes together. The
Speaker 1: sauce makes sense, sour cream makes sense. What ingredient? Did
Speaker 1: I not add the onions? You added the onions in.
Speaker 2: Yours, but you got the onions and your meat.
Speaker 1: Have you heard of that Brooklyn Queen, she's from Detroit.
Speaker 1: She did the fried fly flower ones. Okay, and I
Speaker 1: do this on the show all the time. When a
Speaker 1: dish is really good, I'll go home and perpetrate. I'll
Speaker 1: pretend because people like I don't know, they don't like
Speaker 1: my family. Like then I'm watching the show, so it'll
Speaker 1: come over or like with my husband, I'll just drop
Speaker 1: a dish from this show. But he's smart, he'll be like,
Speaker 1: I know, that's the eating while broke dish. She can
Speaker 1: always figure out the eating while broke because it's something new,
Speaker 1: it's something new. Brooklyn had done the flower. She fried
Speaker 1: the flower tortillas. So I literally for three days straight
Speaker 1: was going home like anyone that came over a visit,
Speaker 1: I got some for you. I geta tacos. I did it.
Speaker 1: We went to Texas. I did it in Texas. I
Speaker 1: was a girl. I never did tacos before, but I
Speaker 1: was doing tacos everything over the fried flower tortillas.
Speaker 2: It's the best.
Speaker 1: And my twin was like, yo, I love them. And
Speaker 1: I just don't give no one from eating while broke credit.
Speaker 1: If I made this dish, I will never give you
Speaker 1: the credit. I will steal your shine.
Speaker 2: It's all good.
Speaker 1: But I'm just gonna go to labret bites. Is it
Speaker 1: Brittany bites, the whole your Brittany bites. I'm gonna go
Speaker 1: over there, steal the recipes, perpetrate some more within no
Speaker 1: credit to you. Is that terrible?
Speaker 2: What people steal my ideas all the time when you
Speaker 2: create greatness and it's I don't even call it stealing,
Speaker 2: it you just inspired.
Speaker 1: I'm inspired, all right. It's actually like a homage of
Speaker 1: how great it is.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's really a good thing. I literally just had
Speaker 2: this conversation with my son yesterday, really literally, I told
Speaker 2: him because he had a situation, and I said, listen, son,
Speaker 2: when you are a creator, especially a creator of genius
Speaker 2: ideas and put it out into the universe, is no
Speaker 2: longer yours and you can't. You have to learn to
Speaker 2: appreciate when people are inspired by your greatness.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it's it's technically stealing, but no, because
Speaker 1: it would be inspired if I built around it.
Speaker 2: But I don't think anything is original. I think everything
Speaker 2: has been inspired a BYT something or somebody, you know whatever.
Speaker 1: All right, we'll rate this dish the best dorrito nachos,
Speaker 1: the dorrito nachos the four times we had dorito nachos,
Speaker 1: yours is the best, mainly because of flavor, consistency, texture.
Speaker 1: I think everything was fresh presentation. So for everyone listening, yeah,
Speaker 1: the dorrito nachos Love Brittany nachos style, look, love nachos
Speaker 1: is the best. Nachos. Thank you, Yeah, there we go.
Speaker 2: Thank you, thank you, thank you very much.
Speaker 1: What are some things that you could share to inspire
Speaker 1: other moms that kind of are going through, maybe not
Speaker 1: even teen moms, just single moms. Just think being a
Speaker 1: single moms. I had to do it for a couple
Speaker 1: of years, and I'll tell you right now, I'd rather
Speaker 1: I'll do a deal with the devil because I think
Speaker 1: it's that hard.
Speaker 2: Really not a deal with life for real.
Speaker 1: Hell no, I just think it's really hard. It's emotionally
Speaker 1: taxing on top of the balancing act, especially when your
Speaker 1: kids are getting out of school midday where you're dropping
Speaker 1: them off and you're picking them up. I tell my girlfriend,
Speaker 1: it's that the fact that you got to stop your
Speaker 1: work and then turn I call it turn into a
Speaker 1: pumpkin time. I'm about to turn into punk And once
Speaker 1: I pick up that kid, I'm a mom full time.
Speaker 1: Then I don't get to turn back into a worker
Speaker 1: until they're at school. So what advice would you give
Speaker 1: in that error.
Speaker 2: The first piece of advice I would get is never
Speaker 2: forget to take care of yourself. So it's like, even
Speaker 2: in those little down times when the baby is sleep
Speaker 2: do something for yourself that make you feel good. I
Speaker 2: know you may not even because half the time you
Speaker 2: don't feel like you don't feel like doing your hair,
Speaker 2: you don't feel like putting on no clothes, you don't
Speaker 2: feel like taking a bath, you don't feel like getting
Speaker 2: your nails done. But force yourself to do something for
Speaker 2: yourself that is gonna boost your confidence and make you
Speaker 2: feel good. Make you look because when you look good,
Speaker 2: you feel good. So take care of yourself. Because as
Speaker 2: a mother, we wake up the first thing on our
Speaker 2: mind is we gotta be the kid yep.
Speaker 1: Or I call it a subtraction. I'm like, nobody's better
Speaker 1: at subtraction than a mom, because all you're doing is
Speaker 1: take you ten minutes to go here, ten minutes, twenty minutes,
Speaker 1: twenty minutes for five minutes, and then you gotta calculate
Speaker 1: the time they get to the car and what they
Speaker 1: do in the stall of Yeah, I do numbers on
Speaker 1: if you hang out with me, I'll do this And
Speaker 1: people be like, what are you doing. I'm like, I'm
Speaker 1: counting time.
Speaker 2: So when you count in time, make sure you count
Speaker 2: some minutes to do something for yourself that's gonna make
Speaker 2: that you love that make you feel good, even if
Speaker 2: that means having to wake up an hour early before
Speaker 2: your kids get up so you can read your favorite book,
Speaker 2: so you can work out. Just do. Don't forget about yourself. Yeah,
Speaker 2: don't forget about yourself.
Speaker 1: Yeah. And I agree with you with making yourself look good,
Speaker 1: because if you notice, when you get your hair done
Speaker 1: or your now it's done, you sit differently, like let's
Speaker 1: go out to the playground, or let's go out and
Speaker 1: do any.
Speaker 2: When you got when you're looking cute in the grocery store,
Speaker 2: you walk down them ales different then when you just
Speaker 2: got on some sweats and a hoodie, you're running. But
Speaker 2: I just remember those days when my sons were younger,
Speaker 2: and it is hard you not thinking about yourself. I
Speaker 2: remember the days of wake up at six o'clock in
Speaker 2: the morning, get them, just dropped them off at school,
Speaker 2: come home. I got a couple of hours to get
Speaker 2: some work done, and then I got to pick them
Speaker 2: up from school, and then I got to take them
Speaker 2: football pratice, and I got to pick them up from
Speaker 2: football practice, and then after that I'm gonna go to
Speaker 2: the studio. I think one thing that I always did
Speaker 2: and this was unconsciously. I always did make that time
Speaker 2: for myself. Like during that era, it was me sticking
Speaker 2: to my music. Okay, okay, So it's like I would
Speaker 2: do all those mother things. I would cook dinner for
Speaker 2: them eight o'clock, got them in bed, aby nine, and
Speaker 2: then my studio session started at nine thirty.
Speaker 1: I'm out.
Speaker 2: So it was I didn't. I never saw it like that.
Speaker 1: But that's a great way to think about it too,
Speaker 1: because people would assume that taking care of yourself is
Speaker 1: just nails and hair and a bath, but you're right
Speaker 1: pursuing your dream, your passion.
Speaker 2: Yes, wow. Yeah. And now that I'm like both my
Speaker 2: sons are adults now and now that I just have
Speaker 2: time to reflect really and I do a lot of videos,
Speaker 2: escially on my TikTok. I tell women these things, like
Speaker 2: what we're talking about right now. I do get Ready
Speaker 2: with Me videos and they are very viral videos as well,
Speaker 2: where I tell women to prioritize yourself A lot of times,
Speaker 2: especially when you become a mom, is like life is
Speaker 2: all about being a mom, and yeah it is, but
Speaker 2: guess what them kids gonna grow up. And trust me,
Speaker 2: when your kids grow up, they grow up and they
Speaker 2: are their own individual seals. They are you feel me,
Speaker 2: that's the real.
Speaker 1: And when did your boys start to really separate and
Speaker 1: have their own identity for themselves?
Speaker 2: When they hit that fourteen is when it begins. When
Speaker 2: they hit sixteen is when they get real.
Speaker 1: But now you have these because I hear about boy
Speaker 1: moms right, like you have these guys that just like
Speaker 1: absolutely love you. Right, They're like they protect you to
Speaker 1: ends right.
Speaker 2: They love me. But it's always been very important for
Speaker 2: me as a mom to be a realist with my boys.
Speaker 2: And I've had no choice too, because we grew up together.
Speaker 2: It's so funny because when we aut in public, everybody
Speaker 2: think they my man, literally like they beat me. And
Speaker 2: so when we out sometimes I'd be like, y'all walk
Speaker 2: ahead of me because I ain't gonna never get a man.
Speaker 2: Ain't nobody gonna approach me if we all together. But
Speaker 2: it's funny because people look at us and they we
Speaker 2: are like a circus show to people, like what you're
Speaker 2: the mom? Oh my god, it's so funny. But yeah,
Speaker 2: they're my best friends. I love them. They taught me
Speaker 2: how to love unconditionally. They taught me to have incredible
Speaker 2: patience truly, and they taught me how to not be
Speaker 2: controlling because I learned through my kids that the only
Speaker 2: person and thing you can truly control in this world
Speaker 2: is myself. As parents, we think we can control them
Speaker 2: until they show you like please, and then you got
Speaker 2: to winness. The two different personalities too, oh yeah, because
Speaker 2: they're not. Are they the same kind of or No,
Speaker 2: they're different. I hear stories about that all the time,
Speaker 2: Like one kid comes out this way, another one it
Speaker 2: comes out different. My kids are like they mayenne and Mayaan,
Speaker 2: they night and day like, but they both equally parts
Speaker 2: and me. It's so funny because my oldest son is
Speaker 2: me and then my youngest son is me too, but
Speaker 2: it's I'm a Gemini. So it's like they're literally not
Speaker 2: even the way they look night and day.
Speaker 1: Really, that's crazy.
Speaker 2: I needed that though. I needed that balance for the
Speaker 2: of them both in my life like I wouldn't. I
Speaker 2: would totally not be the libritty I am right now
Speaker 2: without them, of course, but I definitely do know just
Speaker 2: their opposite energies definitely help keep me alive. It fuels
Speaker 2: me in a way that I need in his life time.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so tell us a little bit more about the newest,
Speaker 1: latest musical project.
Speaker 2: So, I'm actually gearing up to release an EP. It's
Speaker 2: titled Limis. It's a couple of.
Speaker 1: Your original viral clip right, Yeah, Okay, I like that.

Speaker 2: to hear. I'm excited because it's the first body of
Speaker 2: work I've put out since twenty eighteen. I've been in

Speaker 2: really incredible producers. Yeah Camper, right you, Camper produced a
Speaker 2: lot of the records that's on this project that's about
Speaker 2: to release, and I'm grateful. I'm excited. I have a

Speaker 1: there any special guests outside of Cheryl being on the assault?
Speaker 1: Cheryl being on the record.
Speaker 2: You gotta listen, you gotta live this, gotta listen to
Speaker 2: see who gonna be on that record?
Speaker 1: And then are you fully managing every project from beginning
Speaker 1: to end? Now? Are you the manager artists? Are you
Speaker 1: playing every role as an independent?
Speaker 2: Oh? No, I have a team that helps me with
Speaker 2: things I do oversee business, I stay involved in the
Speaker 2: business of my business, but I truly believe in building
Speaker 2: a team and trusting people to play their part and
Speaker 2: do their j and that's really what creates real success.
Speaker 2: You can't.
Speaker 1: That's burnout now being independent? Do you feel like you
Speaker 1: prefer over being scigned to a major.
Speaker 2: No, I think being independent is beautiful. Being independent is
Speaker 2: also a different form of not having all of the teams.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: So it just sucks that a lot of these major
Speaker 2: deals are so trash these days, and people are stuck
Speaker 2: in deals and not being paid what they deserve and
Speaker 2: not really seeing the success that they deserve because majors
Speaker 2: aren't being fair. But I do love the operation of
Speaker 2: a major label. They have tons of departments that's dedicated
Speaker 2: to specific tasks to help us artist be successful. So
Speaker 2: that operation is necessary if you want to see global
Speaker 2: success as an artist. So I do pray that one
Speaker 2: day I'm able to do a deal that's fair, that
Speaker 2: makes sense, where everybody eats, able to have all of
Speaker 2: those elements that truly elevate and makes my product and
Speaker 2: my music successful.
Speaker 1: I'm glad you said that, because I think a lot
Speaker 1: like the New Age is like independent, independent, But I
Speaker 1: think acknowledging the importance of having an elaborate team. It's key,
Speaker 1: all right, Where can everybody keep up with Love Britney, y'all?
Speaker 2: Go? Follow me on my Instagram, my TikTok, my subscribe
Speaker 2: to my YouTube channel. Everything is my name, Love Brittany,
Speaker 2: La Brittany. It's Love Brittany, though not La Brittany. Okay,
Speaker 2: I'm from Detroit. I ain't even from La. But it's
Speaker 2: funny though, because people they'd be so shocked, Like, your
Speaker 2: name is really love I love it though it's my
Speaker 2: mama name me loved like Brittany with an apostrophe. It
Speaker 2: short does have an apostrophe, but I think it's because
Speaker 2: you see the capital L where you just keep going
Speaker 2: and a capital B, so it's separated.
Speaker 1: Yeah. But actually, now that I think about it, it
Speaker 1: makes more sense to love Brittany.
Speaker 2: Yeah, love Brandy. So yeah. Just subscribe to my YouTube,
Speaker 2: Follow me on Instagram, follow me on TikTok, follow me
Speaker 2: on twitch.
Speaker 1: I'm on everything and download guys, download download, download.
Speaker 2: Go stream run up, go buy if you can buy
Speaker 2: the music, that is more helpful to any artists you
Speaker 2: know streaming download the single, Yes, because at least, if
Speaker 2: you download the single, you're getting a dollar. If you
Speaker 2: stream it you getting zero point one cent.
Speaker 1: Oh I didn't know that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so it's always more helpful to download and buy
Speaker 2: an artist music, but a lot of people ain't trying
Speaker 2: to buy because they are already paying streaming services a
Speaker 2: monthly fee. But either way, I appreciate whatever kind of
Speaker 2: support when it comes to my music.
Speaker 1: I love how you broke that down too, because I
Speaker 1: didn't know that, because I just honestly, you go to
Speaker 1: a streaming service, you don't see the option to really buy, You.
