Parris Brady’s journey is rooted in resilience, perseverance, and a deep understanding of how financial instability can impact individuals and families.

Born in Jamaica and later coming to the United States, Parris experienced firsthand the challenges that many hardworking families face while trying to build a better future. Growing up, he was strongly influenced by both his mother and his older sister, who helped shape his perspective on education, discipline, and personal growth. His mother constantly emphasized responsibility, higher expectations, and striving for a better life, while his sister’s intelligence, professionalism, and accomplishments inspired him to believe he could achieve more for himself and his future family.

Like many people, his path was not without setbacks and difficult life experiences. Through personal hardship and legal challenges earlier in life, Parris gained a deeper appreciation for second chances, accountability, and the importance of rebuilding. Those experiences ultimately became part of the foundation for the person and professional he is today.

Determined to create a different future, he pursued higher education at the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee, earning a degree in International Relations with a minor in Spanish. Over the years, he built extensive experience in insurance, Medicare planning, retirement education, and financial services, holding multiple professional licenses and certifications throughout his career.

Today, Parris serves as the founder of Mandelah Financial and Mandelah’s Health Outreach, combining financial education with a community-centered approach to helping individuals and families better prepare for retirement, healthcare decisions, and long-term financial stability.
