Choices Matter Changemakers

Brittany Leedham

Brittany Leedham is a dedicated advocate and speaker committed to raising awareness about the dangers of reckless and distracted driving. Her journey began at age 17, when a devastating car crash in Brentwood, Tennessee claimed the life of her boyfriend and left her with life-threatening injuries that required extensive surgeries and a long recovery. Transformed by this tragedy, Brittany has made it one of her missions to educate young drivers about the real consequences of unsafe choices behind the wheel. Through her powerful story, she strives to inspire accountability, encourage safer driving habits, and prevent others from experiencing similar loss. As a speaker, Brittany engages audiences with honesty and resilience, challenging youth to recognize their vulnerability and empowering them to make decisions that protect both their own lives and the lives of others.

If you’d like to share your experience, we’d love to hear about it!

Hi! I was at the Johnson County High School assembly today, I just wanted to say you are absolutely amazing! You are so strong, I cannot even begin to imagine what you went through. We have had several assemblies about that topic, but I have never ever been affected by those stories like I was by yours. You are the perfect person to be sharing, and I love that you demand respect. Please never stop doing what you’re doing!!! 🫶

The visit by the Choices Matter team had a big impact. Brittany’s talk was intense. Kids were very attentive. I’ve heard very positive reviews from multiple kids at different age levels.
