Bregetta and her family are multi-generational residents of West Center City.

These programs helped her develop the life skills that have guided her through her successful life and career. Her mother, Mercedes Fields, and Aunt Frauline Trotter, also had a huge impact on her development as a community leader.
As a child, she was a regular at the many community meetings, neighborhood socials and other community building events that were directed and led by her Mother and Aunt. They taught her how community building, community engagement and creating friendships strengthens a community.
