Guest:  Britny Virginia - Poet, Writer, Creator.

Episode Host: Angela 

In this episode of Begin, Build, Blossom, we chat with the remarkable Britny Virginia, an international poet, writer, workshop facilitator, and creative producer whose work is rooted in disability, culture, and faith. Born with Cerebral Palsy, Britny has transformed her lived experience into a powerful creative engine, using storytelling to inspire confidence and shift perspectives.

Her artistic portfolio spans poetry, theatre, and film. Her short film “Dancing Shoes” was selected for the London International Film Festival, and her play “Up In The Mango Trees” was featured in the Bloomsbury Festival and shortlisted for the Women’s Playwriting Prize 2025.

In this conversation we explored Britny’s creative journey and the business behind building a life in the arts, including:

• How living with Cerebral Palsy has shaped her voice, resilience, and artistic lens;
• Finding confidence through creativity & helping others discover their own;
• Storytelling as advocacy, healing, and cultural connection;
• Navigating the creative industry as a disabled person, and the importance of representation;
• Faith as a grounding force in her work and life; and
• Redefining  or even replacing  the word “success”, moving away from external validation and toward purpose, impact, and joy.
