Brittany first came to national attention when she and her co-counsel were able to successfully litigate the release of 17 people in 90 days serving unfair sentences for drug crimes. .. Her organization “Buried Alive” received funding and endorsement from television personality and influencer #kimkardashianwest . http://www.buriedaliveproject.org/ .. This organization was founded by Brittany, along With Co-founders #Sharandajones, successful entrepreneur and criminal justice advocate and #Coreyjacobs, Senior advisor to Sean P Diddy Combs at Combs Enterprises. Both, Sharanda and Corey, were at one point sentenced to life in prison for federal drug charges with NO prior drug convictions and were cases in which Brittany litigated. .. To date, Brittany along with co-counsel has litigated over 50 cases for early release and has been extremely active utilizing her resources for criminal justice reform. .. Her passion , activism and fight has been well documented. What some may not know Is that Brittany is also a trucking entrepreneur. .. Staying true to her WHY, Brittnay teamed up with one of her former clients, who served 15 years in prison, to build a Trucking company, Trustworthy Trucking. She has since grown her fleet and looks to expand in 2021 as she learns the business and provides opportunities for the formerly incarcerated people. .. Brittnay hopes to inspire and also help fund others in their endeavors as they re-enter society. .. Wait there is more ... .. This year Brittany also penned the Best Selling and Top rated #1 book by Amazon “A Knock At Midnight’” in which she’s shares her journey and the stories that guided her path.
