Brittany Leavitt is a jill of all trades in the climbing community as an educator, instructor, athlete, and community organizer. She is also a founding member and now Executive Director of Brown Girls Climb; a national non-profit which strives to facilitate mentorship, provide access, uplift leadership, and celebrate representation in the outdoors and climbing for People of the Global Majority. We had the opportunity to sit down with Brittany to discuss her work both with and outside of Brown Girls Climb, recreating in urban space, building and recognizing capacity, reciprocal recreation, intentional language, and how to mindfully take up space.
