    "Trailblazer in Action: A Conversation with Mrs. Nita Brantley
    Jan 5 2026
    On this powerful episode of Hanging Out with the Carters, Denise & Wills Carter sit down with Mrs. Nita Brantley, a true trailblazer and one of Oxnard’s early leaders for change.

    Nita’s work spans decades, from her leadership at the California Youth Authority to her groundbreaking collaborations with John Hatcher III and countless community organizations. At a time when few people of color were given seats at the table, Nita didn’t wait for permission, she created pathways, opened doors, and lifted others as she climbed. She didn’t just talk about change, she walked it. Through service, courage, and consistency, Mrs. Nita Brantley helped shape opportunities for generations in Oxnard and beyond.

    This conversation is more than an interview; it’s a tribute to a woman whose impact is still being felt today. Denise & Wills are honored to share Mrs. Brantley’s story, wisdom, and legacy with listeners who believe in community, leadership, and doing the work when no one is watching.

    Ladies and gentlemen, this is Mrs. Nita Brantley.
