She’s finally telling her story!
Brandy is a cultural icon. A mainstay in homes since she was just a teen, her staying power is impressive and incredibly rare. Now, she’s reflecting on her 30-year career, announcing her very first memoir, set to be released this year, People reports.
“I am so excited to finally share my full story in book form. This memoir is the result of countless hours of reflection, work and healing. I hope readers will find comfort and inspiration in these pages,” said Brandy.
The memoir will tell the singer’s inspiring story, from humble beginnings in Mississippi to launching a platinum debut self-titled album at just 15 years old. Brandy chronicles her heights of popstardom as the star of the hit show Moesha to her historic role as the first Black actress to play a Disney princess in the 1997 TV movie Cinderella.
The Grammy award-winning singer, who is set to receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, also takes readers into the challenging times of her career, chronicling her struggles with love, heartbreak, bullying, and body image. The pop star took to social media to announce the release, calling the memoir “a lifetime in the making.”
“Writing my memoir was one of the most challenging yet rewarding experiences of my life. I allowed myself the space to be fearless and vulnerable to reveal some of my most intimate moments. For the first time, I am sharing my story – honest, unfiltered and not through the lens of media or critics,” wrote Brandy.
“This memoir is more than a book; it’s a reflection of resilience, hope, and rediscovering myself beyond the fame, the music and the spotlight.,” she added.
The memoir is currently untitled but will be published through Hanover Square Press and is set to be released on October 7, 2025. To preorder your copy, click HERE.
