WHO IS Brandon Vega?

  • Vega invests his time having conscious conversations with his sun Messiah; his greatest blessing. Messiah is intuitive, full of energy and joy to be around. Vega prides himself on being a positive role model for his sun.

  • Vega’s creative literary skills were crafted through his experience growing up in his Carol City neighborhood. He discovered the passion for writing by jotting down his deepest, most intimate thoughts. This allowed him to have an outlet to express his experiences through poetry and storytelling.

  • Vega works closely with Village (Free)dge and Roots Collective to provide groceries, toiletries, clothing, shoes and school supplies to people in need. The Village is a collective group of organizations and individuals who’ve made a commitment to their community.

  • Vega is the founder of The EATN Project and Ghetto Conscious. Visionary leadership plays a positive role in organizational excellence. Through both of these entities, Vega looks to create more accomodating and equitable material through education.

  • Brandon always had the ability to talk to people. Eventually, he turned it into an ability to command a room and articulate his struggles and successes to anyone who would listen.
