Chapter 2: What role did faith play in Brandi's transformation?
I always say, short story long. But essentially, my husband is the one that encouraged me to compete for the title of Mrs. Virginia America. Back in 2011, I competed for the 2012 title. Never in a million years thought that I would ever grace a pageant stage. It was not on my radar, but it was on God's radar. And that's how I ended up on that stage.
Won't he do it?
Won't he do it? And man, not only did I win that first pageant, but that led me on an entire journey. pageant journey of directing. And then 10 years later, I ended up on another pageant stage, Mrs. United States. And that eventually led me to this chair right here with you.
Wow. Ladies and gentlemen, we have royalty in the studio with us, pageant royalty. Now, I want to talk, you mentioned that you were a director for a second. And my director brain perked up. I was like, ooh, one director to another. Yeah. Talk to me a little bit about direction. What does that mean in the space of pageants?
You know what? I never saw myself on a pageant stage, let alone becoming a director of a state pageant for one of the biggest pageant systems out there for married women. But I stepped into the role as Mrs. Virginia America's pageant director. And I did that for five years. And I... learned so much about production, about really putting on a show, connecting with women, hearing their stories.
It's crazy. You probably do literally.
That's literally what you're doing. As you're saying it, I'm like, you know the struggle. Yes. You know how it can be. For me personally, I've been working in production for the last better part of a decade, and And there's so much behind the scenes that people don't see. There's so much that goes into it. The planning, the pre-production, scouting location.
I mean, in pageants, you got to look for these huge stadiums or auditoriums that you have to fill. How's the lighting going to look? How's my audio going to sound? Where am I getting my audio from? Do I have an AV team? Do I have a video team? what is everything going to look like at the end of it? What's my post-production process look like?
Talk to me a little bit about like, or it's organized chaos is what I love to call it. Talk to me about your, your experience with organized chaos.

Chapter 3: How did pageantry shape Brandi's career path?
And it feels so good to me that people even want to watch me, first of all. Mm-hmm. but that I have the opportunity to pour into so many people's lives, people that I'll never meet, but I get to make an impact.
It's so funny how God works because you think to yourself, these are people that I can never meet. And then you go to the grocery store one day and it's somebody, hey, I follow you on social media. I love your videos. Do you have any experience with that happening?
Yes, it's happening more frequently now, which kind of bugs me out still. I'm like, whoa, this is really weird. One of the most, well, I say the most recent, it was about a year ago, but one of the weirdest, I would say, is my husband and I were flying from Greece to Turkey. We had done like a whole two-week tour of different countries.
I sit down in my seat on the plane, and a girl sits down beside me, and she said, oh, you're the glam bell. And I was like, hold on, I'm literally in Greece and on a plane in Greece.
Different country entirely.
Yeah. She was like, I have followed you. Not just, I've just started following you. I have followed you from the beginning of your social media journey. This is so crazy. She had curly hair, of course. She's like, you've been my curly hair go-to. Like, what do I do with my hair? So that was really wild. And of course, my husband was with me. So he was like, What? This is wild.
We love the curls in this house, Crockett.
That's right. Come on. Ain't nothing like a curly hair girl.
I know it. I know it. And so throughout this entire process, one of the key narrative through lines that I've noticed is your emphasis on faith. So I want you to talk to me a little bit about that. How does your faith inform the brandy of today? How does your faith inform your actions, your decisions? Where does that faith piece come in?
