Erica A. Briggs, Servant leader

Learning Facilitation & Consultation

  • Current Resume

BRIEF BIOGRAPHY

Creative intelligence guided by intuitive experience

Erica Briggs is a facilitator of learning,  community caretaker and creative artist. In each capacity she is a storyteller, sharing connections related to developing a more transparent and fluid identity, embracing culture, and aligning with nature to better heal, grow and sustain mental health and well being.


Born and grown in Oregon, Briggs has lived and worked across the country and overseas.  As a single mother, she earned a BA in Communications at Mills College in Oakland, CA and a Master's in Africana Studies at Cornell University in Ithaca, NY where she studied the social construction of race in America. 


For over 25 years, she has served various roles in asset-based community nonprofits, and both traditional and alternative learning environments from elementary through college. 


When she is at play you will likely find her wandering in her garden, making a mess in her art studio, or hiking with her children to the nearest body of water.
