Brandy Taliafero
Brandy Taliafero is a Detroit-based curator, storyteller, and creative producer passionate about building intentional experiences that uplift community, culture, and creativity. With over 10 years of experience across photography, event curation, and youth engagement, Brandy’s work lives at the intersection of art, healing, and real-life storytelling.
She’s the founder of Public Riot, a creative house dedicated to curating bold and raw spaces for emerging voices — and the force behind city-loved events like Behind the Brand, Produced By Her, and Courtside Sessions in partnership with the Detroit Pistons.
Brandy believes in holding space, not performing it — and her work continues to carve out moments for people to feel seen, celebrated, and creatively free.
