Dr. Simona L. Brickers is a scholar, systems listener, and analyst whose work bridges academic inquiry, lived experience, and systemic transformation.

Holding a doctorate in leadership and drawing on decades of experience across federal and state government, public policy, academia, and the nonprofit sector, her work weaves personal narrative with structural analysis. Her voice is grounded in care, clarity, and a sustained commitment to truth-telling.

She examines what it means to be held, ignored, disciplined, or dismissed within systems shaped by inequality, performance, and power. Refusing simplistic binaries, Dr. Brickers names the complexity of harm across racial, gendered, economic, and cultural lines, attending to how systems of touch—through both overreach and neglect—affect people differently, and often profoundly.

Her work calls for collective repair, relational presence, and a careful reorientation toward human connection.

This is not only theory, but practice.
Not only critique, but construction.
Not only analysis, but invitation.
