Brandy Giroux Sallee

Facilitator

Woodward, Oklahoma

Brandy joined the SFAE Bar Team in 2025 as a Facilitator. She appreciates that the SAFE Bar Network takes a proactive approach to creating safer social spaces. By focusing on the prevention of overconsumption, harassment, and other forms of harm, the SAFE Bar Network empowers staff with the tools and confidence to recognize warning signs and act before situations escalate. She values being part of a mission that doesn’t just respond to harm but actively works to create environments where both staff and patrons feel respected, supported, and safe. What brings Brandy the most joy is seeing clients move from a place of merely surviving to truly thriving. Witnessing that transformation - when someone begins to reclaim their confidence, recognize their own strength, and rebuild their life with hope and purpose - is incredibly fulfilling. It’s a reminder that healing is possible and that the work we do can have a lasting, positive impact. Being part of that journey, even in a small way, is what fuels her passion and keeps her committed to this work. 

Aside from her beautiful family, Brandy is incredibly proud to be the first facilitator to bring the SAFE Bar Network to Oklahoma. Introducing this program to her state will allow her to help create safer spaces in her communities and equip hospitality professionals with the tools to prevent harm before it happens. It’s an honor to lead this important work and see the ripple effect it will have, building awareness, encouraging intervention, and fostering a culture of safety and respect. 

Brandy finds her happy place at the beach. There’s something about feeling the sun on her skin and listening to the waves that is instantly calming. It’s where she can let go, recharge, and just be. The beach reminds her to slow down and enjoy the present moment - it fills her cup when life feels overwhelming. Brandy’s favorite drink for a fun night out is a Fireball and Sprite.
