As a Climate Justice Coordinator, Brandy is responsible for engaging the community and its representatives in the interest of Environmental Justice Principles to empower the community to act against the toxic emissions and false solutions of the chemical recycling of plastics. Brandy comes to Houston from Oklahoma where she became a hairdresser and hair educator and has lived and worked in Houston for over 20 years. More recently, Brandy received her Bachelor of Science in Biological and Physical Sciences from the University of Houston – Downtown with a focus on environmental sciences, sustainability, ethics, communication and U.S. history.
