Amanda and Brittany van Frankfoort

Timeout With The Twins

Amanda and Brittany are identical twins whose passion for creative storytelling is fuelled by their appreciation for unique, humanitarian stories that demonstrate the value, power and greater meaning of sports, one story at a time.

Reinforcing every twin stereotype, they grew up watching and playing sports together and are both recent graduates from Carleton University where they earned Bachelors of Journalism and even completed the same double-minor in English and Communications. If you ask them how to tell them apart they will tell you there is no special trick—it just takes time, but Brittany is more likely to crack a joke or sleep through her alarm, whereas Amanda is the one more likely to get lost in a good book or steal your chocolates. For more of the twins’ work, they welcome you to explore their Instagram @timeoutwiththetwins; website http://www.timeoutwiththetwins.com, or Twitter @TOwiththeTwins.
