Hello! I am Brandi Bee Clackum. I have been married for 22 years to my partner in all things including business. We reside in Sautee Nacoochee(the valley between Helen and Cleveland) aka the beautiful mountains, where we are enjoying life and raising our children. Our family pets are two dogs, a cat, and Zaxby the goldfish (2yrs old from the fair). We love to travel and making memories with our children is our priority. I have been blessed to serve families within our beautiful state of Georgia since 2006 as a Behavioral Aide. It is my purpose to not go to work every day and get a paycheck, but to serve our communities with my whole heart and make a difference. It only takes one spark to start a flame. I want to be that spark that ignites change. A change that breaks generational curses and gives families freedom. Freedom from darkness and loss of hope! Each one of us, is one bad decision from their same spot! BEE KIND! BEE YOU! BEE FREE! BEE THE VOICE FOR THOSE WHO HAVENT YET FOUND THEIRS!
