Hi! I'm Brandi.

I've been invited to guest post on The Rake for the next two weeks. Unlike the previous Just Passing Through bloggers, my posts will not have a specific theme. The only thing I can guarantee is that I will find some way to link whatever I'm talking about to the Twin Cities. I really like lists, so I'm sure a good number of my posts will be in list form.

I was born and raised in Minneapolis and I've lived here my entire life except for the five years I spent in the northwest corner of Massachusetts at a small college nestled in the Berkshires that you've probably never heard of. The school's mascot is a purple cow and Katie Couric spoke at my graduation. That should tell you both everything and nothing about my alma mater. Chances are high that I will mention something about my college in a post.

I currently work in consulting, specifically consulting companies about stuff and things. That is as much as I am willing to discuss about that.

Other things about me that I might talk about in posts: I'm black, I occassionally do stand-up comedy and I read an insane amount. I'm a rather random person, which will certainly be reflected in the things I choose to blog about.

Should be a fun two weeks.

I'll be putting up my first full post soon.
