Brenda L. Henry, PhD, MPH founded Briyamos to address an issue she noticed and experienced throughout her personal and professional journey - conditions leading individuals to act in ways that were inconsistent with who they said they were and how they said they wanted to show up in the world. A behavioral scientist by training, Brenda has a deep understanding of the interdependency between systems of oppression and our actions. To interrupt the perpetuation of inequity, she leverages almost three decades worth of professional experience to support individuals, teams, and organizations to engage in practices rooted in love. Inspired by bell hooks, Brenda works with fellow practitioners to translate love into tangible action, so that everyone can consistently embody "care, affection, recognition, respect, commitment, trust, as well as honest and open communication." Brenda believes that love is the ultimate disrupter. When we all actively practice love, we shine and humanity and our planet thrives.
