Brant has been a supporter of ENC since before college, and was fortunate enough to find information about interning there through Twitter and a fortunate series of links. His other interests include films by Pedro Almodovar and Alfred Hitchcock, Shakespeare, Spanish food, and many genres of music.

Danielle O'Bryan is the communications Intern at Equality NC for spring 2010. She is a sociology major at NC State University and excited to use her knowledge of sociology and communications.
