Show notes

Show 1 was so nice, we had to do it twice! On this episode we continue our conversation with activist and organizer, Brea Baker. Brea Baker currently serves as a Director of Programs for Inspire Justice, a social impact firm founded by Matt McGorry and JLove Calderón. She was recently the Program and Youth Engagement Coordinator at The Gathering for Justice and Executive Assistant to Carmen Perez, Executive Director at The Gathering for Justice. Baker has been involved with youth activism for years as the President of Yale’s Chapter of the NAACP where her focus was juvenile justice through campaigns such as raising the age in CT, mandatory memorandums of understanding in school, and against police brutality in New Haven. Baker began working with the Women’s March, as their youngest national organizer, focusing on partnerships, college mobilization, and logistics. Brea Baker is racial and gender justice activist working locally and nationally towards the liberation of all oppressed people with an emphasis on black people and women. When not organizing, you can find her traveling the world, listening to Beyonce, or manifesting the life her ancestors deserved.
