A.) excel at
B.) enjoy providing
C.) be qualified to provide
D.) fulfill her need for a diverse and changing atmosphere.

Annie developed the concept of Brass Enterprise. This business venture is the product of Annie's three main passions in life.

1. Annie's personal vendetta with what she terms the First Nation's Holocaust. Residential School Impacts and long term effects to those who attended and their families.

2. Comedy and performance, Annie loves to be in the spot light and enjoys performing and assisting in the laughter process.

3. Pow-wow's and how they bring together friends, families and the celebration of culture and heritage, not to mention that Annie and her son both dance and participate in the Pow-wow.

 

Brass Enterprise endeavours to provide services & entertainment that reflect Annie's three passions.
