"So much of the work we do at BAC is difficult and challenging and it requires a certain mind and willingness of people who are directly effected by the issues that we are trying to combat and fight against," explained Britton. "But we are all almost nerds for liberation. We get on calls and we'll have an idea, but we'll also say, 'Oh, but we didn't include this nuance... how do we include that?' We're always trying to aggressively, almost like a sport, find an opportunity for impact."
