This week, she’s joining <i>The Three</i> as guest host every day at 3 p.m. — and she’s bringing the same energy she puts into her community work, her family, and her career as business development manager at Frontier Title.</p><h2>Rooted in the Brazos Valley</h2><p>Trujillo’s connection to this community runs deep. She said the Brazos Valley gave back to her during some of the hardest years of her life as a single mother, and that experience shaped her commitment to service.</p><p>“One of my biggest things is to be able to give back to the Brazos Valley,” Trujillo said. “And so that’s all I can ask for.”</p><p>That commitment has led her to leadership roles in several local organizations, including Brazos Valley Builders Care, BCS Realtors Give Back, Women’s Council of Realtors, Brazos Valley Cares, and the Joe Walker Scholarship Foundation.</p><h2>Builders, realtors, and giving back</h2><p>As a member of Brazos Valley Builders Care — an extension of the Greater Brazos Valley Builders Association — Trujillo said she joined because she wanted to show the public a side of the real estate and building industry that often goes unseen.</p><p>“People see that the builders or realtors, that they just make all this money,” she said. “They don’t see the backside of what they do.”</p><p>One cause that has stood out to her through Builders Care is Unlimited Potential, a nonprofit that supports foster youth who age out of the system at 18.</p><p>“The foster kids, when they age out at the age of 18, they’re just kind of dumped into society,” Trujillo said. “And this nonprofit gives back to them, gives them a place to go, gives them a sense of stability, and helps turn them into adults.”</p><p>Through BCS Realtors Give Back, Trujillo said the group runs food drives, raises money for Hope’s Locker with Bryan ISD to buy shoes for students, and is currently collecting school supplies for the Bryan ISD teacher closet. Donations can be dropped off at the Realtors Association, located at 1101 University Drive, Suite 108, in Bryan.</p><h2>A blended family built on love</h2><p>Away from work, Trujillo and her husband — married in 2016 after nearly 16 years together — have built a blended family of five adult children and 11 grandchildren. She said the biggest early challenge was aligning on discipline and household rules.</p><p>“His rules and my rules and then putting them together and trying to be on one accord,” she said.</p><p>But Trujillo said the family has found its footing through one-on-one time, annual family trips, and volunteer work she brings the older kids along for. She is also clear about one thing: there are no “step” labels in her household.</p><p>“In our family, there’s not yours and mine, and there’s no step,” she said. “His girls are my girls. And you cannot tell me any different.”</p><p>Her grandkids call her “Grandy” — a name she said she didn’t choose, but accepted.</p><h2>Turning 50</h2><p>Trujillo recently celebrated her 50th birthday, a milestone she said has brought a new sense of clarity.</p><p>“I’m past the 20s and 30s where I’m still learning,” she said. “And I’m in the 50s now where I don’t care. I’ve lived life.”</p><p>Tune in to <i>The Three</i> every day this week at 3 p.m. to catch more from Brandi Trujillo.</p></div></body>
