We had the good fortune of connecting with Brandy J. Flynn and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Brandy J., can you talk to us a bit about the social impact of your business?
My business helps the community by providing a safe space for them to be their true self without any restriction. So many times, people are afraid of being judged, being ridiculed, and being scold. I allow people to grow at their pace in their own manner but also with the tools that I provide for them to become a better person of themselves.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
Brandy J. Flynn Counseling & Consulting Services is a mental health service that I have started to help people meet their mental health needs. It has grown from a therapy practice to also a consulting service where I do trainings for companies, speaking engagements for organizations ,and offer expertise to media. I got to where I am by never losing focus of my purpose. There were many times when I wanted to give up because things were not going my way, but I had to learn to be patient and recognize that things will fall in place in the time frame that it is meant to fall on. I constantly promote myself and my business by placing myself where my target clientele would be. My path has been filled with ups and downs. I always tell people” for everything that I lost, I gained back twice in size.” I have learned so many lessons during my tenure with my business, yet the biggest lesson that I have learned is that people will support your business because they are supporting you. There have been many opportunities that I received because it was me. People watch me . People see how much I work to get things taken care of on my own. People see the grind that provide yet remain humble in the process.

What I want the world to know about my brand and my story is that I truly give my all. I truly love what I do. It is my passion and it is also my calling.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
If my best friend was visiting me, I would take her to our eclectic restaurants that we have in our city. This will be a great time for us to show our true personalities. We would attend one of the many festivals that goes on in our city. She will be able to meet other Memphians, hear our local artists, and shop with our local vendors. Before she heads out, it is a non-negotiable that we visit one of many barbecue restaurants.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I want out to shout out the people that truly supported me and the people who truly thought I would not be successful at what I do.
