In this powerful episode of The Changemaker Collective, Leigh Mitchell sits down with Brandon B. Happy—artist, activist, and founder of the Cultured Collective—for a heartfelt and thought-provoking conversation on reclaiming identity, healing through service, and the radical power of imagination.

Brandon shares his deeply personal journey from generational trauma, addiction, and homelessness to launching a global movement that started with a single community fridge. Through music, storytelling, and grassroots activism, Brandon and his family have transformed their pain into purpose—offering emotional wealth, not just material support, to communities across the world.

Together, Leigh and Brandon explore what it means to redefine legacy, why lived experience is a form of expertise, and how dreaming itself is an act of resistance in a world that often robs us of it. This episode is a moving call to action for anyone ready to turn their story into service.
