In this episode we have a detailed discussion with rapper, songwriter and music producer, Official Feature. With the title of this project ALMOST LOST EVERYTHING being self-explanatory.  He talks about being in a car accident, facing a felony, losing his means of making income and an eviction notice being planted on his family's front door all at the same time after coming off of a successful wave with his previous album, PRIUS.  He talks about the horror of literally almost losing everything, but God had a different plan in store for him.Host: @abrighterbreeGuest: @officialfeatureYou can find OFFICIAL FEATURE with any of the links below:https://music.apple.com/us/album/almost-lost-everything-ep/1709280743THE UNSHARED RIDE https://a.co/d/8XVg5rcTRAP CALLED CHRISTIAN RAP https://a.co/d/cJP5QWKSave 15% on LADY LUXE COSMETICS with the code: ABRIGHTERBREE15www.luxelavishbeauty.comSave 10% on your next SHEFIT purchase by hitting the link below:www.shefit.com/abrighterbree. Join us on youtube at https://www.youtube.com/@ABrighterBree and don't forget to SUBSCRIBE!  THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!Make sure to follow on social media to keep up with the latest episodes and make sure you share your own stories of how you may have or may have not owned your light in a situation.Follow on Instagram!https://www.instagram.com/abrighterbree/Or get the most recent transcribed episode on Youtube!https://www.youtube.com/@ABrighterBree

You ever think about your DREAM JOB?  You say to yourself… “oh once I get this gig I am SET and it won’t even feel like work because I KNOW I’m going to love doing THAT job.”  Well… what if you got it and it’s not what you dreamed of?  Or it is and you feel like you just don’t enjoy it as much.  Do you stay? Or do you pivot?  Do you leave your dream city with your dream job and your dream IKEA furniture set and start over?  Well… our guest Melanie J. Sims went on a journey similar to the one we’re discussing.  She takes us on a mini excursion of her route in media… from the beginning stages of journalism to going back to school to learn about advertising and then ultimately finding her way as a voice over artist. If you enjoyed this episode follow us on social media @abrighterbree and tell us what you think! And if you know someone afraid to start over share this episode with them to give them a little encouragement.  Thanks for listening!  ~Bree Make sure to follow on social media to keep up with the latest episodes and make sure you share your own stories of how you may have or may have not owned your light in a situation.Follow on Instagram!https://www.instagram.com/abrighterbree/Or get the most recent transcribed episode on Youtube!https://www.youtube.com/@ABrighterBree

Episode 4 of A BRIGHTER BREE is a continuation (PART 2) of the interview with the talented Meggie Chérilus.  We talked about how every black actor has to deal with the family gathering where aunts and uncles constantly remind you to give Tyler Perry a call and we even discuss the current SAG-aftra and WGA strike.  We got candid about our confusion on certain things regarding the strike but also remained supportive as we agreed to cut out some content that would go against the rules we did support and fully understood. Are you an actor or production member currently affected by the strike?  How has it affected you and your current living status?Please share your thoughts in the comments!And don’t forget to follow us on social media!A BRIGHTER BREE PODCAST Host: @abrighterbree This week’s ABB guest:  @meggumz_Oh and PLEASE check out Meggie’s HILARIOUS show @mmmspa ON YOUTUBE!  THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR LISTENING!!!!

We always hear the short stories of our favorite artists who "made it" by randomly being discovered, right?  We all know that random ain't so random and there are some MAJOR details that are often left out of those stories.  In this first episode, Bree uses humor to blanket her early mistakes in working in the entertainment industry by not owning the room. Make sure to follow on social media to keep up with the latest episodes and make sure you share your own stories of how you may have or may have not owned your light in a situation.Follow on Instagram!https://www.instagram.com/abrighterbree/Or get the most recent transcribed episode on Youtube!https://www.youtube.com/@ABrighterBree
