Scene Writer Bravetta Hassell’s interests run the gamut: words, books, nature, music, art, furniture, writing, food and Snooki … Did she say Snookie?? No, no, not really Snookie, but squeezed in amid the high and medium brow is the real and made up life that entertainment continues to air and create, which makes Bravetta ponder upon, sing with, look incredulously at, laugh out loud about and then return to reality and her other interests. The prospect of dabbling in all of it and exploring what she was hasn’t was enough for the Alexandria, Va., native to pack her bags and go west to Green Country. Bravetta joined the Tulsa World in February 2012 after receiving degrees in journalism from Northwestern and Hampton universities. She’s previously interned at such newspapers as The Washington Post and the Knoxville News Sentinel and has worked in science publishing and education.
