By Kendra Hall

ATLANTA — The entertainment industry continues evolving as creatives merge storytelling with advocacy and personal development. Increasingly, performers and producers are using their platforms to elevate conversations around mental health, representation, and leadership beyond the screen.

Among those contributing to this shift is Brittany Passion, an Atlanta based actress, casting director, mindset coach, and mental health advocate whose career bridges entertainment and therapeutic insight.

Brittany Passion will be honored on March 7, 2026 at the Women’s Empowerment and Awards Brunch Gala in Philadelphia. The event recognizes leaders across media, wellness, entrepreneurship, and community advocacy whose work demonstrates measurable influence and cultural impact.

Originally from Dayton, Ohio, Passion has built a multifaceted career grounded in both performance and purpose. Her presence spans television, film, theatre, casting, coaching, and youth engagement initiatives.

Her acting portfolio includes roles in more than 30 television and film productions across platforms such as Tubi, Amazon Prime, BET, and Peacock. She has appeared on OWN Network’s Put A Ring On It, Tyler Perry’s All The Queen’s Men, and Sistas, in addition to multiple theatre productions.

Industry professionals often note that sustained visibility in film and television requires resilience, adaptability, and strategic positioning. Passion’s career reflects consistent growth across both on screen and behind the scenes roles.

Her work as a casting director further expanded her influence within the entertainment ecosystem. Passion founded The Passion Xperience Agency and Resource Hub, an award winning agency recognized for talent development and casting integrity. The organization has supported thousands of aspiring performers seeking entry into the industry.

Her leadership led to a role as Extras Casting Director at Tyler Perry Studios with Cab Castings. In that capacity, Passion has successfully cast more than 12,000 individuals for music videos, commercials, television productions, films, live audiences, brand campaigns, fashion events, and promotional activations.

Casting directors play a central role in shaping representation within entertainment. Professionals who prioritize access and inclusion influence which stories reach audiences and whose voices are amplified.

Beyond entertainment, Passion brings more than 15 years of experience as a former therapist and case manager. Her work included supporting foster care youth, individuals within the juvenile justice system, teens navigating substance use challenges, and underserved communities.

This clinical background continues informing her leadership approach. Passion integrates trauma informed awareness into casting, coaching, and mentorship, emphasizing emotional intelligence, confidence building, and personal development.

Open about her lived experience with ADHD and anxiety, she uses her platform to normalize mental health conversations and reduce stigma. Advocacy within creative industries remains critical as artists navigate high pressure environments that often lack structured emotional support.

Mental health professionals consistently highlight the importance of visible leaders who speak openly about neurological and emotional diversity. Public advocacy can shift workplace culture and encourage individuals to seek care.

As a mindset coach, Passion focuses on helping women and girls develop confidence, clarity, and emotional resilience while pursuing professional goals. Her coaching framework centers on self awareness, accountability, and purpose driven action.

She frequently speaks to youth about HBCUs, overcoming systemic barriers, self worth, and long term vision. These conversations often emphasize belief, preparation, and disciplined effort.

Her engagement in media extends beyond acting and casting. Passion serves as a host and personality across red carpets, podcasts, and radio platforms, where she brings a blend of charisma and grounded insight.

As a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Incorporated and an alumna of Tennessee State University, she credits structured sisterhood and higher education with reinforcing leadership values and professional discipline.

The Women’s Empowerment and Awards Brunch Gala will convene leaders across entertainment, entrepreneurship, advocacy, and education while supporting youth leadership and emotional wellness initiatives through Jewelz Foundation Incorporated. Passion’s recognition reflects the increasing intersection of entertainment leadership and mental health advocacy.

Creative industries continue evolving as artists integrate personal narrative, advocacy, and business acumen into sustainable careers. Leaders who combine performance with mentorship influence both cultural production and individual development.

Through acting, casting, coaching, and advocacy, Brittany Passion continues building platforms that support opportunity, representation, and emotional growth across industries.

Her career illustrates how entertainment leadership, when grounded in mental health awareness and intentional mentorship, can extend beyond performance into lasting community impact.
