A Long Time Ago, In A Galaxy Pretty Close…
I was born in Detroit, Michigan. Year? Unimportant. What IS important is the fact that from the tender age of 3, I had already adapted to life on film, as my parents would record most of mine and my sisters childhood antics. I began to dabble in writing, directing, producing, and starring in a number of unreleased family films. I went on to to study Psychology in college (I didn't graduate, but I decided I was finished). Bretony Speaks The Truth was my first, and most popular blog to date. It spanned a total of 9 years! Gettin' By was my first independent video series project, which was well received by the early YouTube community.
I moved to NYC in 2009 because... I really love NYC! I truly appreciate that there is an ever evolving nightlife (insomniac problems), a plethora of amazing food (taurus moon problems), diversity of people (queer/neurodivergent problems), and so many cultures from around the world, all in a few cozy 302.6 square miles of land.
While in NYC I've done a bit of runway/print modeling, and a few very small TV appearances while continuing my Gettin' By web series and blog. I also perform live in a number of mediums (including but not limited to; dance, singing, speaking, and hosting) around New York and wherever else I end up.
Since about 2016, I picked back up the skill of crocheting… something I learned as a child. The creative juices began to flow and I made a few tangible items here and there, which include crochet wear, knitwear, bags, and paintings. This eventually turned into teaching others how to crochet through instructional videos and written patterns!
Creating art in ANY medium, with intention, inclusion, and innovation, is truly my passion! While still enjoying the casual spontaneity of life in NYC, I travel the world whenever I can and experience everything that pops into my head, while I continue to carry on my parents’ legacy ❤️. Join me in my random adventures!
P.s. I heard you aren't supposed to do your bio in first person. Is this true? Why the heck not?
