One of Forbes 30 Under 30 influencers in 2023 and a Time Creator of 2025, internet personality Brittany Broski is no stranger to being in the spotlight. Between her YouTube channels, Instagram, and TikTok accounts, Broski has amassed 15 million followers and over 200 million views. Brittany Broski first gained attention in 2019 on TikTok where she posted a short video of her trying kombucha for the first time, earning her the nickname “kombucha girl.” Since her initial fame, Broski has grown in popularity, and now consistently posts on her multiple social media platforms to her loyal followers, affectionately known as Broski Nation.

Though she considers herself a Texan, Broski lived in Arizona, Alabama, North Carolina, and South Korea before moving back to Texas in her childhood, and eventually, to Los Angeles, California, where she lives now. After graduating from Texas A&M University, Broski worked at a call center and then in trust and fund services at a bank, where she was subsequently fired when her boss found her kombucha video. Instead of continuing a career in finance, Broski took a sharp turn and decided to embrace her internet presence instead.

She began with her YouTube channel(@Brittany Broski) and once she gained a following, she started her podcast, the Broski Report, in May of 2023. Shortly thereafter, in July of the same year, Broski created Royal Court, her talk show where she interviews celebrities in pop culture.

As the sole host in the studio while creating the videos, and with no production crew, Broski’s stream-of-consciousness style on the Broski Report allows her to discuss a unique combination of topics. In a singular video, Broski discussed the cultural impact of Shrek Two, Neoclassicism in the 19th century, and her Red Bull flavor of the week.

On her interview show, Broski is known for her unconventional and often shocking questions, a defining feature that has helped Royal Court stand out in an already oversaturated genre. Rather than relying on predictable talking points, Broski asks guests thoughtful questions, beginning with more absurd and humorous prompts, and ending with intentional reflections. The genuine curiosity she has for her guests makes them open up in interviews, leading to more authentic conversations.

More recently, Broski launched her musical career, releasing a handful of covers of popular songs. In early January, she shared in an interview with comedian Caleb Hearon that she is working on original material with a small team. She spoke about how she has plans to release those in the near future, and is enjoying the creative process. 

As Broski continues to grow past her viral beginnings, she has established herself as a versatile creator whose authenticity and imagination set her apart from others. Whether it’s comedy, interviews, or musical endeavors, Broski has solidified her spot as a lasting voice in internet culture.
