MEET THE FOUNDER
I've always had a thing for bringing people together. Growing up, I watched my mother entertain, from book club gatherings to girls' trips. Somewhere along the way, I picked up that same love.
By 2005, I was serving as president of my Jack and Jill chapter, helping lead community initiatives, organize events, and contribute to our conference in North Texas.
I eventually studied hospitality administration and event planning, building a career across events, education, and corporate operations.
Different industries. Different responsibilities. But I've always found myself drawn to creating, organizing, and bringing ideas to life.
AN IDEA WITH PURPOSE
RWAP didn't begin in 2026. My entrepreneurial journey goes back to 2013, when my friend and business partner, Sky, and I developed LOVE, a community-focused initiative centered on giving back.
At the time, my approach to service was heavily influenced by my Southern Baptist upbringing and the biblical teaching: "Faith without works is dead." — James 2:26 (KJV)
As my beliefs evolved, so did my understanding of what service should look like.
A community initiative developed with Sky, rooted in service and giving back.
An idea centered on culturally representative products for college students that grew into a larger vision.
A conversation with my mother reignited my vision and brought me back to RWAP.
THE SWEETNESS OF DOING NOTHING
In 2025, my mother asked me: "What can you see yourself doing when you retire?"
Now, let's be realistic. At the rate things are going, who's actually going to be able to stop working?
I've always believed you should first figure out what you're good at, develop it, and make it lucrative. Build your foundation.
Then, once you're established, find something you love. Learn it. Master it. And make that lucrative, too.
Because the goal isn't to spend your entire life working just to survive. The goal is freedom.
And I am ready to do absolutely nothing. The funny thing is, my idea of doing nothing is serving others.
I grew up around a culture where sacrifice was often treated as an obligation. We're taught to give, to serve, to put others first.
But what happens when the person doing all that giving has nothing left?
I want to challenge the idea that we must continuously sacrifice what little we have to prove we're good people.
Build your foundation. Fill your cup. Let it run over.
Then give by helping somebody else build a cup that overflows.
KEEP YOUR FIRE BURNING
To me, entrepreneurship isn't simply about owning a business.
It's about building something that allows me to keep my own fire burning while lighting someone else's.
Sometimes that's through professional development. Sometimes it's a connection, an introduction, a conversation, or sharing something I've learned.
A Little More Brittany
A few more thoughts on entrepreneurship, community, and what I'm building.
Have you always wanted to be an entrepreneur?
I've always been drawn to creating and organizing things, but the vision has evolved over time. What started as individual ideas eventually became something much bigger.
What's your favorite part of bringing people together?
Watching people connect. I love seeing an idea become an experience that people can enjoy, remember, and build relationships through.
What's your philosophy on success?
Build your foundation first. Create opportunities that allow you to thrive, and use what you've learned to help others do the same.
What does giving back mean to you?
Giving back should create opportunities, not require people to continuously sacrifice their own well-being.
What's the ultimate goal?
To build something sustainable that brings people together, creates meaningful experiences, and opens doors for others.
What Does RWAP Mean to You?
Where we go from here is a conversation I'd love to have with you.
What would you love to see us create, experience, or bring to the community?
