Brandi was born and raised in Columbus, GA, and is a 1995 graduate of Carver High School. She attended Albany State University (GA), and obtained her B.S. in Psychology and Human Services from Troy State University. Her graduate studies are in Counseling Psychology with an emphasis on Community Counseling.

Brandi has professional experience in sales and marketing, case management, counseling in mental health, substance abuse, homelessness, foster children, and community resources. However, Brandi decided to step out of her "professional comfort zone" to pursue her true passions: coaching, workshop facilitation, networking, mentorship, and writing. She is now the owner of Ujima WorldWide, which is currently DBA Liberation Life Coaching, providing personal success coaching, small business marketing consulting, and life skill training.

Coach Brandi's professional affiliations include memberships in the Society of Women Entrepreneurs, American Psychological Association, Columbus Local Interagency Coordinating Council (Past-chair), International Coach Federation, and the Association of Coaching and Consulting Professionals on the Web.

Professional and personal experience also has created her interest in working with fellow families of individuals with special needs. Her latest project, The CHOSEN Initiative, is being created to provide empowerment to her fellow families with individuals with special needs. This will be accomplished through events, educational groups, resource referrals, and an information site (www.ourchosen.org)

On a personal level, Brandi is the mother of two beautiful children Nia Gabrielle, and Orrand Jr. She is married to Orrand King Sr., who is also a coach. Additionally, Brandi is a proud member of Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc. She is also a contributing writer for magazines and newspapers.
