Team BRITE reaches wide across Ventura County, from engaging communities in civil and creative advocacy, to designing and implementing interactive content promoting diversity, inclusion, and mental wellness across all demographics, starting with those most underserved.

BRITE was founded in 2005 by our Executive Director, Katherine Kasmir, who noticed how techniques and concepts used in improv comedy and theatre can also be used to drive social change through joyful and safe exploration of vulnerability, failure, and laughter. 

Today, BRITE has a media department, which is comprised of a core team of media-minded, camera-carrying activists.

The Media Team has worked with all different types of people – kindergartners, college students, teachers, state senators, survivors of tremendous loss, civil rights icons– to tell stories that are otherwise often pushed away and lost within the margins of society. 

We cannot change what we cannot see. With each video, each podcast, and each social media post, BRITE hopes to collect and amplify the voices, people facing adversity in order to provide others a window into struggles which may be different than our own.
