Mandi Caskey is a muralist, gallery artist, and community activist. The story Mandi shares is a lesson for all who consider themselves outcasts or loners about finding the support you need, learning that it’s okay to be different and disruptive, and the impact you can make from seeing the world — and sharing your view of the world — differently.

What Brett asks:

• [4:35] Can you tell me a little bit about your upbringing?
