We are ecstatic to welcome Brittney, Stephanie, and Tanner to the ReCity team! They are a lively bunch - make sure you stop by the Lounge to meet them!

Here’s what they have to say:

Brittney Fuller (far left)

Hi!  My name is Brittney Fuller and I am one of the new ReCity interns for Spring of 2020!  I am a North Carolina native- born and bred! Currently, I am a senior studying Human Development and Family Studies at UNC Chapel Hill (so when I die I will be Tarheel dead).  If you ever want to see cute cat videos, I can show you a million of my crazy cat! In my spare time, you can catch me writing and performing my own poetry, by the fire pit outside, playing with my kitty or watching ASMR videos to help me fall asleep.  Exploring the stories of marginalized groups has led me to fully appreciate and integrate my identity as a black woman into every aspect of my life. In particular, I enjoy learning about the success of communities banding together. That is why I was drawn to Recity’s mission to drive collective impact.  I have never been more excited to start a new position than now!

Howdy, y'all! My name is Stephanie Edmonds and I am a senior at UNC-Chapel Hill majoring in Human Development and Family Studies and minoring in Religious Studies. I am ecstatic and humbled to be working alongside passionate people who care deeply about the Durham community. I am an old soul with a warm spirit and nothing makes me happier than bringing humor and encouragement to someone's day. So, if you want to engage in meaningful conversation or just need a quick pick-me-up, I'm your girl! I am invested in seeing justice brought to all, locally and globally, and believe in the power of intentionality. I am honored and blessed to partner with you as we live on mission empowering Durham residents while fostering lasting social change.

Tanner Smith (far right)

Hey y’all! My name is Tanner Smith and I am so excited for this upcoming semester and getting to intern at ReCity! I am currently a senior at UNC-Chapel Hill, and will graduate in May with a degree in Human Development and Family Studies. I was born in Charlotte, but grew up in Dallas, Texas before coming back to the wonderful state of North Carolina for school. I’ve spent the past few summers in Colorado working as a backpacking guide, and absolutely love being outdoors and going on walks as much as I possibly can. I enjoy taking pictures on disposable cameras, writing lots of letters, and watching movies (Harry Potter will forever be my favorite!), and I have a dream of learning how to make fun coffee drinks. What first drew me to ReCity was the strong emphasis on purpose-driven work and community growth through co-working, and I am excited to learn more about what it looks like to leverage each of our strengths to be able to love Durham well together.
