Brittany P. Edwards, (Facebook: Brittany Patrice) | “I’m 24 years old. Originally from a suburb outside of Chicago, I relocated to Michigan at age 14. I graduated from MSU two years ago with a B.A. in criminal justice and a minor in sociology and I am currently working towards a master’s degree in management. I am also in the process of creating a team of mentors to assist youth in our community. Writing has always been my means of expressing myself, my innermost sacred thoughts and feelings. I hope to uplift, encourage, and motivate others through my writing and mentoring.”
