Spoken Art: Too Brave to Back Down

by Rita Mitchell, Brittany Mitchell, Brittany Mitchell (Illustrator)

Overview

Spoken Art is a one-of-a-kind collaboration between dynamic mother-daughter duo Rita P. Mitchell and Brittany A. Mitchell. It is the culmination of affirmation thinking, aspirational poetry, and a lifetime of wisdom. It also features 20 years of Brittany's art and artistic talent.

The concept of Spoken Art came from Rita being spiritually moved to write three poems to match her daughter, Brittany's three paintings of strong African-American women titled: Let the Sun Shine In, 100% Boss, and Renaissance Woman. As Rita reflected on Brittany's art, she saw her own life's continuum in the three women reflecting back at her. Each painting representing a phase of her life: as a young girl, as a maturing woman, and as herself, today, fully grown up.

In Spoken Art, Rita and Brittany weave words and art together into meaningful messages they hope will invoke inspiration and aspiration. The purpose of this book is to create a sense of wonder and spark creativity in each of us. This book is also a testament to the power of affirmation thinking and the ability of affirmations to bring you out of the darkness and into the light when you are going through personal tragedy or challenging times.

Spoken Art is about declaring your truth and your heart's desire. Hopefully, this book will inspire you to seek out the words, phrases, and art that affirm who you are as a person.

About the Author

From fashion merchandising to finance, Rita P. Mitchell chose a career in the competitive world of finance instead of using her degree in Fashion Merchandising to pursue a career in fashion. Rita spent over 40 years in finance building a reputation as a successful entrepreneur (Mitchell Financial, Inc.), an award-winning sales producer, and a top bank executive. In 2018, Rita retired from First Horizon Bank as Executive Vice President and Manager of Private Client Services for Nashville & Middle, TN.

In 2018, Rita wrote her debut book, Own Your Phenomenal Self: A Guide on Character, Success, and Leadership which serves as a “pocket mentor” to the next generation of young women who might be struggling to reach their desired success in a corporate environment.

In her second book, Spoken Art, Rita collaborates with her daughter, Brittany. Brittany A. Mitchell is a marketing leader with an International MBA and global experience. Despite her successful marketing and sales career, Brittany’s first love was and still is art, thus she has incorporated 20 years of her artwork throughout the pages of Spoken Art. As the CMO and co-founder of Rita P. Mitchell, LLC., Brittany continues to nurture and grow this dynamic mother-daughter brand to new heights.

Coming full circle, Rita eagerly takes her Fashion Merchandising degree off the shelf to launch a fashion line with her daughter, inspired by Brittany’s one-of-kind art pieces which you can explore on www.redbubble.com/people/brittanyart/shop.
