About the facilitator
Erica Briggs is a consultant, community caretaker, and creative artist. In each capacity she is a storyteller, relating themes of learning that support more transparent and fluid identity, embrace culture, and align with nature to better heal, grow and sustain mental health and well being.
A native Oregonian, Briggs has lived and worked across the country and overseas. Currently, she serves as a Nonprofit Education Specialist at the Nonprofit Association of Oregon; Facilitator of Learning for the Anti-Defamation League; and is the founder and CEO of a small arts and nature nonprofit based in Troutdale.
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 camping, wandering in her garden, making a mess in her art studio, or hiking with her children to the nearest body of water.
