This journey eventually led her to become the inaugural Director of Educational Equity & Diversity for Rockwood School District in St. Louis County, one of the state's largest and highest-performing districts.

In this pivotal role, Brittany spearheaded the development of the district-wide equity plan, oversaw the racial desegregation program, Voluntary Interdistrict Choice Corporation program (VICC), and supervised district social workers. Her tenure at Rockwood intersected with the highly debated topic of critical race theory, drawing local and national media attention. Leveraging her experiences, Brittany partnered with Nic Stone, a New York Times bestselling author, to launch Empathy in Equity, advocating nationally for the use of empathy in literature to promote equity in education.

Continuing her advocacy, Brittany was appointed by St. Louis Mayor Tishaura Jones in 2022 to serve on the St. Louis Public Schools Board of Education. Additionally, she served as the inaugural Manager for the Center for Human Service Leadership at Delmar Divine in St. Louis, supporting programs and institutions dedicated to social change and innovation.
