Brittany is a policy analyst and political commentator, seen on CBC News, CTV and other current/public affairs programs. She describes herself as a complex, multifaceted being, whose purpose is to defy traditional norms and conventions and expand the possibilities of who and what a Black professional woman can and is supposed to be.
Through her work in policy, politics and media, she inserts new perspectives, thoughts and opinions that challenge people to think critically about the world and society they live in. All three of these spaces play a vital role in her ability to communicate to the public and helping to engage others in the political process. Brittany believes that both outward pressure and internal pushes can bring about the systemic changes needed for marginalized groups.
Brittany always makes time to meet and talk with young women, especially Black women, because she feels that for many of them, their dreams of achieving goals are either denied by being told they are not good enough or by not having access to the right mentors. She feels she has been extremely fortunate to have continuously been encouraged to reach for the stars while having amazing women by her side helping to guide her along the way. She feels honoured to pay it forward to those who come after her, by sharing resources, being an ear or a simple dose of reality by reminding them about how badass they are.
