Brandy is the best interviewer! She has a format so you know what you will learn from her guests. She does a great job getting information from those she interviews and her focus is always on the guests! She shares a little about herself making the guests comfortable but then always gets back to finding out more about the guests and their artist journey.

The Sew Powerful interview was sew inspiring that I’ve requested an opportunity to share this with my quilt guild in Fredericksburg TX. I plan on selecting an appropriate YouTube video and then hosting a workshop to make purses. Thank you, Brandy, for all you do!
