Brittsense is a visionary documentarian, photographer, and storyteller from Deep East Oakland whose work shines a light on the raw, unfiltered beauty of overlooked communities. With a camera as her tool and storytelling as her purpose, she travels the world capturing the essence of resilience, struggle, and love, amplifying voices that are often unheard.
Rooted in a deep love for her hometown, Brittsense uses her art to challenge narratives and reclaim the humanity of Black and Brown communities. Her imagery is intimate, emotional, and unapologetically real—each frame a testament to the power of presence and connection. Through projects like 222ForgottenCities, she not only documents history but actively reshapes it, reminding us that every neighborhood, every face, and every story holds value.
Her work extends beyond photography; it’s a movement, a message, and a mission. Brittsense embodies the spirit of Deep East Oakland, carrying its energy into every space she enters. Whether behind the lens or in front of a crowd, she continues to inspire, uplift, and remind us all that our stories matter.
