Brandi: Social Media Coordinator

Brandi (she/her) is a pansexual, polyamorous, primal, Latina switch from Columbia, South Carolina. She has been in the lifestyle since 2012 and has been attending events since 2013. She started out in the Columbia TNG group as well as T3WD. She found passion in the community and ultimately in a new chosen family. Her first SELF was in 2014 and she fell in love with the “family reunion”. She had never felt more seen or valued as when she walked through the doors to SELF for the first time. She got roped into the SELF volunteer world and was ecstatic to serve others and meet new people. She has now volunteered at 5 SELFs and will always return to her family!

After dealing with a near death experience in 2015, a barrage of mental health struggles and job stress, Brandi chose to take a brief time off from the lifestyle. Brief turned into 2 and a half years while she fought her demons, but she opened the door back in 2018. She was welcomed into the fold and told “Not to go anywhere again! We got you!”. Along this journey of self discovery, she found a passion for primal play and eventually realized primal was her to the core. Her leopard is her and she is her leopard. She also reconnected with an old friend who has been her Owner and protector for almost 3 years now. She proudly wears the collar and leash of HappyPuppy as his pet.

In her personal life, she lives in Columbia, SC with her four rescue cats! She tries to share love everywhere she goes and is in a people-facing job that does just that! It is never hard to find her because she either towers over everyone or her bell is jingling happily everywhere she bounces.
