Her ministry is devoted to making a transformative and equitable difference in the world by taking an active stand for racial equity and collective liberation both within and beyond the congregation’s walls.

She currently serves on the UUA’s Ministerial Fellowship Committee (MFC) and is a member of its Executive Team and a panel chair. Locally she serves on the strategy team and as co-chair of the clergy caucus for Durham Congregations, Associations and Neighborhoods (CAN), a multi-faith coalition of congregations, associations, and neighborhoods organizing to address local issues of justice and equity for the city’s most marginalized communities.

Rev. Brett hails from Brooklyn, NY and has two adult sons. She finds balance through her meditation practice, by walking at least five miles a day, and whenever possible, gathering with friends to share a good meal and experiences of art, live music, dance, and theater.
