BreAnna Davis Tribble
Managing Associate
“Throughout my childhood, I was socialized to value education, family and community. These tenets ultimately became the core areas that I wanted to also focus on professionally. With an understanding of how structural, institutional, and individual racism impacts people of color, I spent the first few years of my career seeking to highlight how youth could persevere and excel, with the support of their families and communities, in spite of barriers that they faced. SRC appealed to me because of its mission to ensure that all children have the opportunity to thrive. This mission encouraged me to consider how my technical skills could be used to directly make a difference in the lives of black and brown youth during arguably the most critical developmental period of their lives.”
