To kick off this issue is one of the most streamed 9’0s female R&B singers in the history of Billboard, Brandy! As an icon and woman, Brandy has stood out BOLDLY to be everything we’ve ever needed in an R&B powerhouse.

We had a chance to catch up with the resilient icon to discuss everything from motherhood, to her timeless career, and her newfound independence.
“With all of my experiences the most important to me has been to come to know me and work on what would make me a better person, a better mom. Music makes me happy, I love music. I don’t know what I would do ore where I would be without music.”– Brandy

“If you look at my style, I don’t show a lot. I like to cover up but still be sexy and stylish. I don’t like to do too much because young black girls are looking at me. When we have an influence, we set the tone for what should be and should not be. It’s ok to be comfortable and sexy.”-– Sierra Gates
