#HaveYouHerd: Today’s #FridayFeature is someone who stands in his truth, knowing that what he is doing is for the greater good. Brandon Randall is the Director of Engagement of VOICES Corp. To find out how Brandon exudes being unbothered, keep reading.
Brandon Randall is an Eastside resident of Indianapolis who is originally from Missouri. Brandon holds both his associate’s and bachelor’s degrees in Criminal Justice and is only a few classes shy of earning his master’s degree in Education. He currently serves as the Director of Engagement of VOICES Corp.
VOICES Corp strives to enhance the lives of youth through an expression of self, community involvement, and by providing options that will empower them to change their lives. Brandon assists by coordinating community-based programs, oversees partnership development, and supervises the Power & Promise leadership development program.
What makes Brandon unbothered is his constant unwillingness to change who he is and what he stands for: “I stay unbothered as I continue to do the work that I do, knowing that nobody can stand in my way of fighting for my students or the community.” When speaking with Brandon, we found out that he just established an LLC, Tru Colors Consulting. That is what you call boss moves!”
A bit of advice Brandon has for us is to “Stay true to yourself. Authenticity will take you far, rather than trying to fit in or compromise your identity for other people’s acceptance. And remember to speak positivity in order to create and manifest positive pathways in your life. Abra Cadabra literally translates to “I create as I speak.” Be magical today.” We like that saying, “Be magical today.”
Currently, you can catch Brandon working on the VOICES leadership development program, Power & Promise. He is finding ways to expand their reach to communities across the state and country, restructure for better sustainability and growth, and continue to create spaces for the voices of young people to be centered and affirmed. It sounds like a lot, but we know Brandon has this in the bag.
We can all learn from Brandon what it means to stand in your truth and not let others stray you from your path. This is what it means to be unbothered.
