She is the founder and executive director of A Suitcase and A Dream, a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting youth aging out of foster care by replacing trash bags with suitcases and providing the resources, confidence, and community they need to thrive. Through her work, hundreds of young people have received not only suitcases but also the reminder that they matter and deserve dignity. Diagnosed with autism as an adult, Brittney has become a passionate advocate for neurodiversity, using her platform to educate others, challenge stereotypes, and create spaces where autistic individuals feel seen, heard, and celebrated. As a member of the Atlanta Airport Board, she works to advance accessibility, inclusion, and equitable experiences for travelers of all abilities. Brittney's story has been featured in magazines, documentaries, and a new docuseries Traveling The Spectrum. Whether she's speaking on a stage, mentoring foster youth, serving her community, or sharing her journey online, her message remains the same: your beginning does not determine your ending. Grounded in her faith and driven by purpose, Brittney believes that healing is possible, mental health matters, and dreams are worth chasing even when life tells you otherwise. She lives by one simple philosophy: Never stop dreaming.
