Brittany has been in The Mighty community since 2018

"The Mighty isn't just a publication. It's a true community where people care about one another. Everyone here knows what it's like to live with conditions the rest of the world refuses to adapt to. The Mighty gives me hope that through creating, we can cause a shift through education, community and advocacy that moves our society forward towards one that welcomes everyone regardless of condition."

Why do you write for The Mighty?

"My message for other people who are Black, queer and anxious? You don't have to be the strong Black woman. You can cry. You can be vulnerable. You can be soft and that's OK."

"Find the people who honor that—who protect you, who love you. Who make you feel seen, heard, understood."

“I write for The Mighty because it’s not just a publication – it’s a community dedicated to advocating for change for people with conditions.”
