1.If you were famous what would your stage name be?
If I were famous, my stage name would be "Brandi Blaze." It captures both my fiery passion for making a difference and my drive to ignite action in others. Just as a blaze lights up the world around it, I strive to be famous for lighting up the lives of others by empowering them to take bold steps toward creating a lasting impact.
2.If you would attend a celebrity wedding which, would it be?
The wedding of Lady Gaga and Michael Polansky. My husband Cole and I had the opportunity to see her live in concert at Fenway Park in Boston when newly married. Watching her perform on that legendary baseball field, a place Cole had played during his professional baseball career, was unforgettable for both of us. Lady Gaga is known for putting on an incredible show, so I can only imagine how spectacular her wedding would be!
3.What is the weirdest gift you’ve ever received?
The weirdest gift I’ve ever received was from my grandmother, who, while decluttering her home, decided to wrap up her belongings and gift them to each of her nine grandchildren for Christmas. To my surprise, I was the lucky recipient of a rather creepy, stuffed, lifelike sleeping cat that also doubled as a neck massager. It was certainly unique, and I’ve never quite forgotten that one!
4.What is the most random fact you know?
As the mom of a fact-loving 6-year-old boy, I’ve picked up a ton of random facts I never knew I needed to know. For example, did you know that an owl can turn its head nearly 270 degrees because its eyes are fixed in its sockets and can’t move? That’s just one of many quirky facts I’ve learned, and trust me, there are plenty more where that came from!
5.What is the one thing you’ll never do again?
Growing up, I was very shy and tried to be unseen. Eventually, I realized that my fear was keeping me from achieving my goals. I decided to turn my fear into fuel, tackling dreams head-on and growing more visible and confident in the process. Pursuing my dreams and goals unapologetically, with boldness and persistence, is empowering and continues to shape who I am. Today, I embrace the spotlight and will never again shrink or play small.
