The First Ever #Whitterview: Meet Kay Brown of BETCHES

Originally posted on Her Campus

A BETCH is… “A girl that isn’t afraid to speak her mind. She’s funny, quick witted, smart and a no-bullshit kind of girl. She is self aware in knowing that she likes to keep up with the latest trends but is able to make fun of herself for it.” ~ Kay Brown
I am sure you have an instagram and have either followed or creeped on @betches before; your source for all your favorite memes. Some of those memes were produced by their social media producer who I am here to introduce you to today. Meet Kay Brown, the meme queen, betches extraordinaire. Also known as Kay York City, just so you know if I reference her in this way. She’s so good at what she does, her best meme had over 12 million views!

…. Drum Roll please……
It is now time for the first ever #Whitterview (Whitney Interview)!
Lets get to know Kay with my Q’s I created and her A’s she responded!
Tell me about where you grew up- are you originally from NYC?
KYC: I’m originally from Cincinnati, OH. I’m one of 2 siblings, and I’m the oldest. My younger sister and parents still live there.
Where did you go to school and what for? Did you always know you wanted to be a content creator?
KYC: I went to Northern Kentucky University and have a major in Musical Theater. I’ve been working as an actor since I was 16 years old. About a year and a half ago I realized I didn't’t love it anymore and started looking for a new career. I’ve always loved social media. I had a Live Journal, AIM, Xanga, and Myspace. I actually used to code my own layouts. HA! So I started looking for jobs in social media and finally got my dream job.
Speaking of being the MEME QUEEN, you’re also a caption queen- how do you come up with them all? They’re GENIUS!
KYC: Captions are hard. I try to just write down random thoughts I have. If you always try to match the photo with the caption it will be boring. I also hate motivational quotes. LOL. Sounds mean but they make me crazy.
SIDE NOTE: I would show you her captions…………. But I like to keep ya on your toes, check out her instagram if you don’t believe me, she is the caption queen. (Social Media handle below).
Now we all know you’re a Bachelor lover- if you were able to be on any of the past bachelor seasons who would you have wanted to compete for and why?
KYC: Ohhhh. This is tough. I think I would have to say Ben Higgins. I actually didn't’t even start watching till his season, so I don’t know many of the other Bachelors. I also think he’s suppppper hot.
If you could have dinner with three people who would you choose?
KYC: Leonardo DiCaprio because he was my first celeb crush and will always be my one true love.
The person who created Tostitos queso because they have simultaneously ruined my life but have also given it purpose.
Andddd Mindy Kaling because she is responsible for so much of the humor in my life.
You have a pretty amazing clique- did you ever imagine you would be friends with any of these people? Such as DeMario from the Bachelorette and James from Vanderpump Rules?
KYC: The people I have met this past year are incredible. It’s crazy to think I spent a my days watching them on TV and now I text, and Facetime, and hang out with them. I don’t think I would have ever predicted that I would be this close with them but life is crazy af and so am I. I always tend to put myself in the most random situations and cool things come from them. DeMario, Vinny and Iggy from Bachelor, James from Vanderpump and now Corey Brooks and Paulie from Big Brother have all become some of my favorite people. I’m v excited to see what 2018 has in store.
Now after reading Kay’s Q&A don’t you think she has one of the coolest jobs to exist? Yeah, me too. I’ll leave you with some advice Kay has given on how to get out there and make a name for your self!  
“Network. It’s so important. Meet people whenever you go out and wherever you go. You never know who you’ll meet and how it could change your life. Also, never be afraid to ask. Whether it’s a favor or for an opportunity or even a date! The worst someone can say is no and if they say no, fine! But it’s always worth a try and can’t hurt.”- Kay York City
I’m sure I made you fall in love with Kay as I have and want to get caption ideas so follow her and get in line to be her best friend, I already am.
Thanks for tuning in to my first ever #Whitterview and thank you to my (almost) bff KYC for being my first!

From Heart Surgery to Criminal Justice to MTV, Jenna Compono is here in #Whitterview 31

It all started on The Real World Ex-Plosion, Jenna Compono's first show of many that aired on MTV. From there she moved on to The Challenge and was able to come out with some money from them after winning several challenges.  In this latest installment of the #Whitterview series, we get to know Jenna and her experiences on the shows she has been on.  Lets get to it! Meet Jenna Compono!  Tell me about yourself JC: I grew up in NY with a huge family. I am one of six and have over 50 first cousins. My mom is one of seven and my dad is one of eight, so you can imagine the amount of cousins at my family parties! I loved growing up with a huge family. We did everything together, birthdays, holidays, vacations, graduations etc. I recently just became an aunt for the first time to baby Stella, who is absolutely adorable. Right now I nanny and do reality TV which takes up a good amount of my time, besides working I love going to the gym and hot pilates when ...

Two Time Challenge Champ Ashley Mitchell in Whitterview 48

I'm sure we've all asked ourselves about what would we do if we won a million dollars? I have, countless times. So I decided to go to the queen of MTV's The Challenge and ask the million dollar winner herself. We first met Ashley Mitchell on The Real World: Ex-Plosion, from there she went on to gracing our television screens on The Challenge series. Ashley is at the top of the list for Challenge vets as she has won the most money. She won season 29 and season 32 (Invasion of the Champions and Final Reckoning.) She won a million dollars in season 32. I mean, she does hold the record for most money won by a cast member and the record for the most money won in a single season- so that does make her the queen, am I right? I couldn't be the only one shocked that she went home right away this new season of The Challenge. (Yo- wish she could have been brought back somehow to shake up the game!) Anyway, with all this being said let's get to know the queen herself in...

Jessica Kelsey Amlee of Greenhouse Academy in Whitterview 26

Last year, a new show popped up under my Netflix options and it seemed interesting enough for me to start since I needed yet another show to help me procrastinate my college homework. Oh, what's the show called you ask? Greenhouse Academy. Check it out and catch up the first two seasons on Netflix. On Greenhouse Academy you'll meet troubled girl Jackie, new to the Greenhouse Academy after just having robbed a bank. Jackie is played by Jessica Kelsey Amlee who you will get the chance to meet right now. Tell me about who you are: JKA: I am originally from Vancouver, Canada. More specifically a little suburb just outside of Vancouver, called, Maple Ridge. A very little town, where everyone knows each other; Which ensues safety and drama. I personally believe I have the greatest parents in the world (though most people think the same.) My parents met when they started a band called Cream Soda (in the 80’s), my father being the drummer and my mom the singer. My dad now...
