MGN Radio welcomes Author Brittany Willis to our show. 

Super mom in her own right; Brittany Willis didn’t allow her status as a “Single Mother” to define her. She had her share of trials, tribulations and even triumphs. Realizing that life doesn’t give you a pass because you are a “Single Mother” she persevered. She had two sets of eyes watching her so quitting was not an option. Brittany Willis is an Atlanta native, Mother of two young men, Makeup Artist and Business Owner with authorship as a new endeavor. Writing was her therapy through very difficult times in her life as well as her escape. Her entrepreneurial journey started four years ago when she graduated from cosmetology school. Since August 2015 she became the humble owner of Heavenly Faces by Hunni B, LLC. September 2017, she completed her first book as a testimonial and devotional for single moms to encourage them on their motherhood journey. Ms. Willis’ ultimate goal is to continue sharing God's love, gospel and her gifts with the world. She is currently working on a 30-day devotional and sequel to Praying, Praising and Potty- Training, Life of a Single Mama expected to be published late 2018. Brittany Willis currently resides in the suburbs of Atlanta, GA with her two young men.

As a consumer, you have a choice between shopping with the big guys or going to your neighborhood store, and the Holidays is a great opportunity to show your support for local business owners.
