Social Media (shameless self advertising):
My Instagram is… @brooke.dennison
My Twitter is… @br00kemackenzie (zeros for the O’s)
My Insta bio is… “This is the story of the girl” which is the first line of the song “Absolutely” by Nine Days. Trust me, you’ll know it when you hear it.
My Twitter bio is… “Murray, I have asked you repeatedly not to call me woman”
The reason for that Twitter bio is… it is from the movie Clueless, which is one of my favorites, in part because it is based off of Jane Austen’s book “Emma”.
I think that’s all! If there’s anything I missed that you want to know about, comment below!
