On this week’s episode of Let’s Talk Life I have a powerful conversation with activist & writer Brea Baker.
We discuss all things from the hope of the future, to social injustice + ways YOU can help your community & SO much more!
Brea Baker is a writer and freedom fighter who has been working on the frontlines for almost a decade first as a student activist and now as a national and global strategist.
In that time, she has contributed to dozens of electoral and advocacy campaigns including the 2017 Women’s March (where she served as the youngest national organizer), the 2018 student walkouts against gun violence, Jumaane Williams’ successful bid for NYC Public Advocate, and more. In addition, Brea advises storytellers and industry leaders on making content that builds our collective imagination.
For her work in coalition with other activists and organizers, Brea has been recognized as a 2017 @glamourmag Woman of the Year (Women's March), and 2019 i-D Up and Rising.
Brea is also the new host of @disneyplus BRIDGING THE GAP, a show that has been released on Disney+ Youtube Channel this year.
She has a B.A. in Political Science from Yale University where she held internships with the U.S. Department of State, Public Defender Service DC, and served as President of Yale’s NAACP Chapter and Co-Director of AIDS Walk New Haven.
