Coping 101: Seeing Sound w/ Brittany Davis
"Music helped me overcome my mental hurdles by teaching me to be a problem solver... and solve problems. Solve equations. Think of things in layers, instead of all at once." Brittany Davis drops the gems as effortlessly as they drop the jams. Originally from Kansas City, Brittany is a multi-instrumentalist, singer, rapper, and sound engineer - now calling Seattle home. Or from their own perspective, Brittany is a "translator of sonic divinity... here to bring souls to life".  As a Blind, Black, Non-Binary Female, Brittany Davis practically embodies Intersectionality. Bullied from the beginning for all the things Brittany was or wasn't, they grew up with an incarcerated parent, lost their father to gun violence at age 12, overcame homelessness, and only recently for the first time feels able to get out and express how they truly feel about things... as 'an overcomer'. Student host and fellow musician Gavin sat down with Brittany to explore themes of Joy, Independence, Isolation, Divinity, Image, and new ways to see life itself.  Co-presented by 4Culture, Coping 101's Artist Mental Health Stories amplify voices from King County's cultural sector to empower individual artists, uplift the creative community and destigmatize mental health from a teen's perspective. No matter our age or background we all face challenges, and there are many healthy ways to find balance.
