Speaker, podcast host, and international advocate Brandi continues her outreach through pageantry and action-driven community work
MINNEAPOLIS, MN / ACCESS Newswire / June 11, 2025 / Brandi, current Mrs. Minnesota International, is using her platform to deepen international impact by supporting children's cancer research and empowering others to take meaningful action. Through her work as a speaker, podcast host, and advocate, she has helped raise over $860,000 for childhood cancer research and continues to extend her reach through global partnerships and storytelling.

Brandi's mission is rooted in a personal commitment to service and a belief that anyone can become a force for change. As a Mrs. International hopeful, she seeks to expand her network of global action takers by sharing her signature "ACT" formula: Aware, Connect, Take Action. This approach guides individuals to become aware of their unique gifts, connect with causes that matter to them, and take action to make a tangible difference.
"Act to Impact started because my desire to succeed was greater than my fear. I used that fear as fuel to make a lasting impact for pediatric cancer research while helping others discover their gifts," Brandi shares.
One of her most recognizable efforts is the distribution of C.C. Bear, an initiative that brings comfort and awareness to children fighting cancer. The plush bear has been distributed to young patients in cities including Munich, Germany, and Cape Town, South Africa, through her collaboration with the Children's Cancer Research Fund, a national nonprofit.

Brandi also reaches a growing international audience through her podcast Act to Impact, which highlights stories of resilience, advocacy, and global community building. As a dedicated speaker and advocate, she uses the platform to introduce listeners to voices from the pediatric cancer community as well as changemakers worldwide.
Pageantry serves as a global stage for Brandi's message, offering an avenue to share stories, unite causes, and advocate for underrepresented communities. Through the Mrs. International pageant, she aims to broaden her reach, deepen awareness for children's cancer, and invite others into a mission of service-driven leadership.
Brandi lives in Edina, Minnesota, with her husband of nine years and their six-year-old son. She serves as Vice President of Operations at DeVries Bar Grinding, Inc.
