Nell Nelson, Volunteer Coordinator, City of Lakewood's Heritage, Culture & Arts Division
In 2024, I had the privilege of working with Britt on a DEIA Community Learning Series, and I cannot speak highly enough of her expertise and impact. Britt excelled at creating a container that fostered psychological safety and genuine learning, allowing staff to engage deeply with challenging topics like implicit bias and the systems within which we’ve been socialized. Her facilitation skills, both in-person and virtually, were remarkable, carrying the group through some of the most difficult conversations with grace and clarity.
Britt’s foundational agreements, such as “accept a lack of closure” and “both/and thinking,” became guiding principles that extended beyond the sessions, sparking ongoing conversations and reflection within our organization. She was also deeply attuned to the emotional toll these discussions can take, offering unwavering support to staff, particularly our BIPOC colleagues, when the dialogue became personal and intense.
In addition to her strength as a facilitator, Britt was highly effective in her use of technology to enhance the training experience, seamlessly integrating interactive tools that kept participants engaged and connected. She also provided an array of valuable resources that empowered us to continue learning and applying the concepts beyond the series.
Thanks to Britt’s leadership, the learning series not only delivered critical insights but also brought our team closer together, highlighting areas for growth and setting us on a path toward a more inclusive and equitable workplace. Britt is truly an exceptional consultant, and I would wholeheartedly recommend her to any organization seeking meaningful and transformative DEIA work.

Brittany is incredibly skilled and talented at guiding teams through the transformation necessary for growth and success.

Anika Gzifa, Director, Legal Training and Development, Earthjustice
Britt co-developed and co-facilitated a session for our program staff on the ways that implicit bias shows up when delivering feedback. Britt proved to be an excellent curriculum developer and facilitator. She framed and delivered substantive content, and she did it with a style that was vulnerable and engaging and that invited participants to share openly.
Alana Williams, Restore Program Manager, Zero Foodprint
Britt was a pleasure to work with. She always came prepared, was full of insight, and provided a warm and comfortable space for discussion. She knows how to guide a conversation with a light touch and stays cool as a cucumber when things don’t go according to plan. Plus, she really helped us leverage Zoom’s features for what we needed! Thanks to her, we now have a solid path forward in our journey to creating equitable standards for our grant program.

Britt does the critically important work of bringing deep humanity to her sharp acumen for analysis and problem solving. She deftly facilitates in both introducing new frameworks for understanding complex, heavy problems and then devising strategies and clear steps forward to meaningfully correct the identified issues. With her generosity of spirit and brilliant EQ, she thoughtfully holds space for nuance, identity, and reflection which enables participants to more effectively lead with purpose, self awareness, and conviction. Her gentle but firm coaching is an example for us all of what productive accountability can look and feel like. Moreover, Britt empowers without robbing participants of the self sufficiency and confidence they need to continue the work on their own.
