Back to EpisodesWhy Is Madison So Obsessed With Brandi Grayson?
Description
Brandi Grayson isn’t one to shy away from conflict. She gained notoriety as a leader of Madison’s Black Lives Matter movement and is now the CEO of the nonprofit Urban Triage, where she helps some of Madison’s most vulnerable populations find housing. But Brandi and her work have been subjected to a level of extreme criticism and scrutiny that most other nonprofits in town never have to deal with. Today, host Bianca Martin talks to Brandi about the backlash she’s faced, her 2025 arrest, what’s new at Urban Triage, and what it means to be a Black leader in Madison.
