Brandy is amazing. That's all there is to it. She actually taught me how to sing, and I used to watch her and copy her in the music videos in my early teenage years. Loved Moesha. She's achieved so much and remained hardworking and humble throughout, and we love that. Selling over 30 million albums during her career, she has been in the music industry since the age of 14. Exactly 20 years. Brandy has made such an inspirational impact on so many young black girls it's just undeniable. True Exclusives put together a video of celebrities showing love for Brandy and congratulating her on her career and all that she has achieved, which brought her to tears. Lauren London, Jennifer Hudson, Kelly Rowland, Adrienne Bailon, Missy Elliot and her former TV Mom on 'Moesha' Sheryl Lee Ralph all showed love.
'I just want to say thank you. I’m remembering everyone…and all I’ve ever tried to do is just be great at being myself and inspire people. I didn’t know what I was doing. I didn’t know if that’s what I was doing. I’m just thankful and I can appreciate it. I can appreciate it all. No matter what is happening [or] is not happening, I can appreciate everything that I’ve experienced. I appreciate everything that everyone is saying, I think that’s what the hard times brings. It brings [being] grateful for what you have and what your purpose is. I never want to lose that ever. I just want to keep striving and keep going and keep trying to reach all my goals and to keep making people feel good with whatever it is that I do. Whether it be a handshake, a smile, a hello, a song, a laugh, whatever it is, I have to stay in touch with that. I can’t live on without that.' - Brandy
