We had the good fortune of connecting with Brittany Baker and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
Being that I work as a counselor and an advocate for families for the local county, I am always looking for ways to help others get well mentally. For so long we have shunned individuals who act “differently” not understanding that there was a deeper issue at hand. Not only does Securely Bshennell help those who are insecure, I always like to educate people on different mental health issues that they may face. Helping others became a passion of mine when I lost two individuals to domestic violence and all because the accuser’s mental health wasn’t taken seriously. Had we educated him and those around him, I believe things would’ve ended differently. I have learned many lessons, but the greatest of them all is to listen effectively. I want the world to know that security is yours and it’s time to #SECURETHEWORLD.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
There are plenty of great places here in Richmond and outside of Richmond. Some of my favorite places to eat are, Maple Bourbon(brunch), Cities Bar and Grill(bar food), Pig and Brew(soul food), Mi Hacienda(Mexican), Ironclad, and Mellow Mushroom(pizza), and many more. I also love a good vineyard and we are 30-45 minutes away from some amazing vineyards in Williamsburg, Va. and one hour and a half away from the vineyards in Charlottesville, Va.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
