Product Description

Brittany Young is a West Baltimore native who believes those closest to the problem are the solution to solving it. She also strives to elevate black talent, genius, and culture. She wants the natural genius and talent hidden in our cities to be recognized, appreciated, and to be given opportunities highlighting their passions and interests. Drawing on her experiences as a kid from Baltimore who watched dirt bike riders in Druid Hill Park on Sundays, Brittany was reminded that street riders are natural mechanics who fix and repair their bikes, and they utilize riding as a way to relieve stress. Understanding this, she viewed these riders as assets, not only to culturally relevant education, but to being the link needed to build better community relationships. From that, Brittany founded B-360. B-360 has been on a mission to utilize dirt bike culture to end the cycle of poverty, disrupt the prison pipeline, and build bridges in communities. Brittany has a diverse background in STEM and education that includes developing medical devices, planning satellite explorations, working in higher education, and teaching K-8 Technology all while being an advocate for the greater Baltimore community.  She currently is an Echoing Green Fellow, OSI Baltimore, 2020 TED Fellow, Baltimore Business Journal’s 2019 40 Under 40, and MD Leading Women. Currently, she serves as co-chair of Baltimore City’s Mayor, Brandon Scott’s transition committee.
