Brittany Robles attends Texarkana A&M University and is not your “typical” college student. At 30 years old she decided to enroll in school in 2020 majoring in mass communications after taking time off from doing hair for 10+ years. She wanted to work again but found it difficult to obtain a job without a degree. She said jokingly “…I’m never [getting rejected for a job] again!”. Brittany highlights the challenges she faces in her personal life such as being a mother in a family of 7, working for the Texarkana Magazine, owning businesses, and being a surrogate all while going to school. When asked how she handles it all, she said “People are my passion” and gives us an inside look at how she helps change lives around her every day.
Brittany shares with us how she initially studied hair and fashion design at an art institute. even though hair was not her passion, she knew making people satisfied and confident was. This also bleeds through to her careers with her personal businesses and a job doing marketing and sales for the Texarkana Magazine as she stated “ That’s the part of the job [that] I love…once I get those relationships formed with my accounts and clients…they are able to become my friends and I love really being able to create the vision that they have for their business.”.
Some of the most important people to Brittany are her children. One of her sons has dysgraphia and dyslexia and it makes it harder for him to learn certain things, she states that she assures him “…he is going to be so successful” no matter what circumstances. Brittany is a mother who does nothing but pour into and uplift their children!
Speaking of children, Brittany not only takes care of her own family but also other couple’s kids as well. Brittany was recently a surrogate, which she said was “a calling from God.”. She shared a heartfelt testimony about the couple she carried for and the profound impact it has had on her life, and to this day they still keep in touch with one another. Brittany’s passion for people is very touching; she’s an advocate, a nurturer, and a true friend. She will continue to change the lives of many people she comes into contact with.
