Brittanie Richardson (Mentorship Fellow ’22)
Leadership Vision
As a leader I choose to be love in the room, mindfully discerning what that looks like. I release my urge to police and control, and instead choose to be a welcoming presence making space for everyone to bring all of themselves into the room. I vow to do my part in making the room a safe space where together, we can find creative solutions to the problems in our world that we are invited to confront.
Project Description
Art and Abolition exists to heal, empower, and protect young girls in Kenya who have survived sexual violence as a result of poverty. We do this through foster care, art therapy, education, and economic empowerment.
