We had the good fortune of connecting with Brittany Sanders and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Brittany, is there something you believe many others might not?
I don’t believe in losing. There is no such thing as losing/losses. I believe every “L” we take it is a lesson we needed to learn so that there is a blessing. Every hurdle you go through in life makes you stronger.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
WzupDet is completely different from most start up companies simply because we allow the creatives to lead their vision. We don’t take control, we guide one another. We come together when projects need to be completed. We find joy in getting the job done, going beyond the expectations of what’s already required. Most times creatives have a vision but don’t have the tools for completion so great ideas simply only turn out to be that. Just an idea, we turn ideas into action & movements. Once you tell us what you want to do, we assist in helping that idea come into fruition. WzupDet has gotten this far today with the support of FWDDS. Our ever growing community of likeminded creatives who network, collaborate and communicate to give ART the platform it deserves. I’m most proud of that no voice goes unheard with our company. We appreciate everyone ; the event spaces, the promoters, the DJ’s, artists, the fans/audience. The creators and the customers. They all matter. We truly do our best to display how. It truly wasn’t easy at all in the beginning searching for “like minds” because humans are just naturally selfish and they aren’t team oriented. I come from a team oriented background from playing Sports and things of that nature. In my experiences, success isn’t built on selfishness. You have to want to sacrifice not just for yourself but for others. It was very challenging at first, but the past year has been a beautiful RESET and REFRESH. WzupDet finally has the team it deserves, everybody plays a part. Without me ; (the owner) asking. I’m very grateful to have Kosher Lee, Crimson Alchemist, Monetary Plug, and the SoundProof Detroit family who assist in growing the company. My greatest lesson I’ve learned that people who want to help will help. The people who want to be there will be there. Don’t worry about who isn’t. FOCUS on who does. That’s all that matters. Always do things with love and not for love. I want the world to know I’m a testament of God/The Universe being good. Good people exist. Good things exist. You just have to continue to live and don’t give up. Trust your experiences. It’s cliche but trust the process, those hurdles in life are ONLY building strength.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
If I wanted to show my BFF the best time ever, I’m taking her to the park downtown at Campus Martius, we’re getting on the slides/swings, we’re most definitely skating! Getting some bumps and bruises, then we go grab some slurpees mixed with that 40 water(liquor). After we buzz up, we talk about the woes of Adulting (I still won’t grow up , I’m a grown ass kid) I prefer having legit fun over partying. Anything outdoors would be the move, especially the bar bike rides. I’ve yet to experience.
