Freedom. Healing. Wholeness
Brittney Wardlaw, JD, speaks directly to those navigating the tension between identity and survival.
At just 27, Brittney served as Executive Director of Title IX at one of the largest universities in the world—her alma mater. She later accepted a prestigious position at Baylor University, believing it to be a faith-driven opportunity. Instead, she was met with calculated resistance, racial isolation, and institutional gaslighting. Her decision to speak out, leave, and build something new led to a journey of liberation that she now shares with audiences across the country.
