The Story of Bigger Than I
Landin Brown and Ashley Traylor have experienced many life changes that have inspired their personal life journeys. They both have experienced their fair share of failure and success. They have gained inspiration, encouragement, and strength through Christ, family, and authentic supporters.
​
Over the past few years, the brother and sister duo have often pondered on varied ways in which they could serve as an inspiration to others, while making a strong impact in their communities.
On June 7, 2020, they turned their vision into reality as they decided to develop their own nonprofit organization dedicated to youth.
​
Mission Statement: Our mission at Bigger Than I Inc. is helping youth to establish strong spiritual foundations and develop a deep understanding of God's impact on our everyday lives, with care, empathy, and trust.
​
Vision Statement: To empower youth to lead healthy, positive, and spiritual-based lifestyles through ministry, mentorship, and sports programs. We are dedicated to transforming lives and empowering at-risk youth by helping them to develop essential social, mental, and spiritual skill sets to be positive and impactful adults.
