With her father's encouragement, Brandi successfully auditioned to join a TV show to explore the many different issues presented by each of the show's 30 teens. She was just 15 years old at the time. Within a year, Brandi was promoted to the job of co-hosting Teen Summit , a program shown in the U.S., on Black Entertainment Television. Teen Summit allowed Brandi to sample many jobs within the show. The show was her gateway to many different roles and many diverse experiences.
Opportunities open when the mind opens.
She now represents Teen Summit on the national stage. For Brandi, the courage to pursue her dreams has come from family support and self-assurance. If you look in the mirror and you hate what you see, sometimes it seems like your family and friends could never help you feel anything except miserable. That is a stage in adolescent growth. Attitude shapes our self-image.
