Brianne Coleman

Brianne Coleman, MBA, M.S., is an administrative professional with a deep passion for change. As a survivor of childhood trauma, sexual assault, and domestic violence, she tirelessly advocates for victims and survivors through her public speaking, peer support and volunteer work. In 2021, she completed a fellowship with the Illinois Coalition Against Domestic Violence Leadership Academy, which allowed her to strengthen her ties to the DV network in Illinois. Additionally, in 2021, she began a multi-year journey to become a certified instructor of Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), a key component of a trauma rehab program she developed that addresses the gaps in services provided to victims of domestic violence to include their children. In 2022, she graduated from Purdue with her Master's in Human Services and will soon start at UIC - Jane Addams School of Social Work to obtain her MSW. Brianne is the founder of Dimensions of Intersections, an up-and-coming nonprofit with a mission to stop generational cycles of domestic violence and trauma.
