Brandi Grayson

Brandi Grayson incorporates the practice of embracing goodness into her daily life. Despite life's inevitable challenges, she actively opts for a life abundant with positivity, both in her personal and professional spheres.

Outside of the office, Brandi confronts an exciting yet challenging new reality—homeownership. She recently purchased her first house, fulfilling a lifelong goal of hers. With a touch of creativity from a local contractor, she undertook necessary repairs, transforming the space into a welcoming and cherished home. Alongside this achievement, Brandi revels in the joy of sharing life with a loving partner who seamlessly supports and complements her lifestyle. Adding to the mix, a red-nosed pit bull puppy has nuzzled its way into her family.

Professionally, Brandi thrives in an uplifting and dynamic landscape. In the office, she’s surrounded by a dedicated and passionate team, who never ceases to impress her. At home, she finds quiet sanctuary, spending crucial time and energy shaping the future of Urban Triage and the community it serves.

Brandi Grayson does a little of everything, embracing each role with unmatched energy and fervor. She’s a proud mother of four, a grassroots community organizer, a nonprofit founder, and a small business owner. She’s held titles such as Director of Programming, Analyst, Realtor, and Claims Adjuster, to name a few. She is the Founder, CEO, and President of Urban Triage, Inc., and her own business, Grayson Consulting, LLC.

In 2014, she co-founded the Young, Gifted, and Black Coalition (YGB) and has led Urban Triage as CEO for the last seven years. In this role, she centers on self-awareness and vulnerability as the two key factors to elicit change. Every day, she channels her energy into disentangling our current support networks and weaving new ones—ones based on love and understanding.

Being a bright and powerful catalyst for community change, she was awarded Wisconsin Social Justice Leader of the Year in 2022 and Madison Black Chamber’s Community Leader in 2023. Beyond any professional achievement, Brandi Grayson finds purpose in catalyzing moments of profound transformation within the community around her. Success to her is not a metric worth counting but rather, a story worth telling.
