Struggling to Grow Your Advocacy Business?
You’re Not Alone.
Most IEP advocates don’t start out as business owners—they start because they care and want to help kids thrive.
But building a sustainable business is a different challenge.
As an accidental entrepreneur, it's easy to take on more and more casework—only to find yourself overwhelmed and on the verge of burnout.
Make Your Business Work Better…Without Sacrificing Your Impact
If you’re like most advocates, you need a blend of systems, structures, and mentorship to make your business manageable and sustainable—so you can serve more families without burnout.
Based on my experience of what works best and business skills gained from the Goldman Sachs One Million Black Women: Black in Business program, I created a series of implementation-focused programs.
They’re designed for you to hop in, solve your problems, and move forward quickly to make an even bigger impact in your community.
“I worked with Brandi 1:1 on business coaching, and it’s made a tremendous positive difference on my business in ensuring it is a sustainable business that doesn’t take over my life.”
— Abbey B.
Been There, Done That
If you had asked me 15 years ago about my career path, I would have told you I would retire from a school district. I took a turn, though. I'm happy that entrepreneurship still allows me to serve kids and families.
Over the years, I’ve learned how to make my business something I love —that also loves me back, instead of working me into exhaustion.
Regardless of what made you take the leap, I want you to enjoy the freedom of time and the ability to share your gift of advocacy with others. More advocates means more kids getting the services they need.
That’s why I created the coaching arm of Your IEP Source.
“I found more value in working with Dr. Brandi in two weeks than in years with a different program — she genuinely helps advocates get their business problems solved as quickly as possible.”
— Amber B., Special Education Advocate

“Before this series of workshops, I had several ideas flowing, but I did not have the business background to know where to start.
I was confident in my knowledge of special education, but I didn’t have the same level of confidence in being a business owner. The material was presented in an easy-to-follow, step-by-step fashion. I especially liked the workshop on systematizing processes and the emphasis on working smarter, not harder. In addition to the instruction and strategies presented, Dr. Brandi is a great cheerleader for others.” — Morgan W., Advocate
