Brittany Holmes - Second World: The Warnings 212. This is episode 645 of Teaching Learning Leading k12, an audio podcast.
Brittany Holmes has a passion for educating children. It began with writing on her teachers‛ chalkboards after school. Her favorite feeling was the silky, smooth chalk caked on her fingers. Fast forward many years later, Brittany found herself a mom to Triston, a boy with special needs. Being an educator, she never imagined that she would have a child who struggled academically. Triston is also on the Autism spectrum; and Brittany soon realizes the same feelings that were soothing to her growing up, irritated her son. As much as she loves Triston, she could not deny the difficulty in raising a child with special needs. A huge support to Brittany was her mom, affectionately known as “Nana”. Nana doted on Triston, and displayed patience with him during his most difficult times. Brittany is the author of a children’s book series - A Boy and his Nana.
Brittany Holmes also is the author of the "212" series. Brittany has been an educator for over 20 years. She remembers watching a parent trying to register their child for school. In order for the child to be quiet and not bother the parent, the child was handed a device. When the parent wanted their phone back because they had finished registration, the child threw a fit. They screamed and started kicking. The parent handed the device back and immediately the child calmed down. She witnessed many incidents similar to this over the years. So, when she started the 212 Trilogy, a lot of her personal feelings about technology's impact on people, inspired her writing. The first book in the series, "The Writ 212" was written and published 7 days before the Covid-19 pandemic shut down the world. Many, who were closed in during the pandemic, read her first book "The Writ 212" and found eerie similarities to the content and the state of the world, calling the book insightful and ahead of its time.
During the pandemic, Brittany released the prequel, "The Warnings 212" which delves into the lives of her characters. Again, readers found many parallels to the world's future and the book’s contents. Readers of the 212 series share similar concerns about where the world is headed if we continue our dependency on technology.
Brittany enjoys writing about her passions and uses both the children's book series and science fiction series to share knowledge, spread consciousness, and build relationships with those who have similar thoughts and experiences.
Our focus today is Brittany's latest book - Second World: The Warnings 212.
Thanks for listening and sharing.
