I am Brandi Day founder of iD.A.Y.dream, born in Monterey, CA and raised in Seattle, WA. Upon graduating in 2000 I didn’t realize that my denial into Washington State University would be the kick starter into the masterclass of my future that was to become. It was through the appeal process where I needed to face the realities of my past growing up. I navigated the appeal process on my own and had an opportunity to share my situation as to why I would be a great addition to the institution. Eventually, everything worked out and I became the first person in my family to attend and graduate from college. Earning her B.A. in Management from Washington State University and M.B.A. from City University in Change Management.Though this carried a lot of pressure, it was a task I was built for. The pressure to succeed, persevere and pave the way for my younger siblings and now sons and daughter. I've always had a nurturing and serving spirit which led me to be involved in many community centered opportunities, events and becoming a member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc.Currently, i'm known for motivating future leaders, igniting passion to succeed and instilling the courage to keep going. I strive to empower, inspire and encourage youth to achieve their dreams. I'm committed to helping other students, especially first-generation college students to do the same.
