My name is Brittany Ashmeade aka Littlemissbritt
What do you do?
By day my life is pretty routine, I work a 9-5 in case management with years of experience in the mental health sector. Outside of that, I bring my passion for enjoyment to life as a lifestyle, food, and travel content creator in Toronto. Many know me as Littlemissbritt. I highlight exciting events, travel experiences and must try food and activities in Toronto and the GTA. I transition between being a content creator, influencer and host and I love it.
What’s a personal story or experience that influenced the way you create?
I don’t have a personal story that influenced the way I create, it’s really just driven by what I enjoy and what I think others might love too. I’ve been creating since 2016, but in recent years, I’ve become more consistent simply because I love sharing great places, events, and experiences beyond my core circle. For me, it’s all about capturing the joy in the moment and bringing others along for the journey.
Was there ever a moment you wanted to quit? What pulled you back in?
Yes, I’ve thought about quitting everyday. It’s difficult when the content you put your all into
doesn’t get the attention you hoped for, especially compared to something you posted with minimal effort. But knowing that even a small group of people genuinely appreciate my content always pulls me back in. My audience reminds me why I create no matter the numbers, especially when I meet people in person that tell me they love my content.
What’s one thing about your journey that people often misunderstand or overlook?
One thing people often misunderstand about my journey is how much thought, time and effort go into making everything look effortless when posting. People see the final product like a voiceover video or a nice meal or an exciting event but don’t know the behind the scenes and how long it actually takes to curate certain 20-60 second videos.
What’s the hardest lesson you’ve learned about yourself through your contents?
The hardest lesson I’ve learned about myself through my content is that consistency isn’t just about posting, it’s about showing up even when I don’t feel like it. I’ve learned that staying motivated is hard but it’s so important to realize growth takes time so you just have to trust the process when building your content and your brand and just keep at it.
If you could speak to your younger self at the start of your creative journey, what’s
one piece of advice you’d give?
The best advice I could give my younger self is to stay consistent, stay motivated and stay true to your content even when the numbers fluctuate. Keep it authentic. Remember your audience will always find you so continue to show up for yourself and trust that every post is a step toward something bigger.
