Who is the person behind brandi&tea?

Well, let’s get the basics done. (All views expressed are mine and mine alone)
Name: Brandi Rose
Age: in my thirties and I don’t love admitting it
Location: biggest city in South Dakota
Occupation: I answer phones

So why are you here?
I started this and never finished when I finished undergrad. I nearly picked it back up during my Master’s. However, I am here to bring awareness to mental health, especially in a post-COVID world. Social media is still very picture-perfect even when highlighting the struggles. I want to erase that barrier and show the dirty reality. I want to discuss burn-out. I want to discuss losing goals and ever-changing dreams and the reality that life doesn’t go as planned.
A main focus I want to focus on is the health care of the United States, specifically in how it treats plus-sized women. I am going through a health crisis currently and I want to document the struggle. There will be other things that pertain to my interests because I believe that a blog can be powerful and still highlight a person as a whole.
