Originally from Lecompte, Louisiana, Britni has lived and worked in both the U.S. and Canada. She now resides in Central Louisiana with her husband and three children. When she's not championing small businesses, she enjoys time with her family, gardening, art, music, and volunteering in her church and local organizations.
One of her guiding principles comes from Benjamin E. Mays:
“The tragedy of life is often not in our failure, but rather in our complacency; not in our doing too much, but rather in our doing too little; not in our living above our ability, but rather in our living below our capabilities.”
