Brit Barron

Brit Barron is a speaker, teacher, and author. She is a natural connector and steps onto stages to address areas of personal development, race, gender, and sexuality. An experienced storyteller, Brit is known for her ability to use personal narratives and experiences from her life to highlight larger, universal truths, for her approachable method of teaching, and for finding the ways in which we are all connected.

Growing up in an Evangelical megachurch in the '90s, Brit was always trying to fit neatly inside the boundaries her church and its narrow view of God had placed around her. She was boxed in by her fears, unable to realize her full potential. All that changed when she met a girl named Sami, fell in love, and chose to leave behind those narrow boundaries in favor of a fuller and more vibrant life.

Brit’s first book, Worth It: Overcome Your Fears and Embrace the Life You Were Made For, released in Summer 2020. In Worth It, Brit tells her story to inspire all of us to overcome our own fears--the kinds of fears that keep us from evolving beyond the narratives that have been handed to us by others. We can't avoid or outrun these fears, but if we face them, we'll find out that it was so worth it!

Brit and her wife, Sami, live in southern California with their dog, Charles Barkley. Brit is equally passionate about having honest and at times difficult conversations and also finding joy every single day and making time to have as much fun as possible.
