Her story is one to truly be admired. From pain to purpose. From victim to victor. She has triumphed and overcome
many obstacles in her lifetime and is gracious to God that she lived to tell about it. Her life motto as an author; "God
is ultimately the author; I am merely the pen writing His-story on the walls of His Kingdom.”
She is the single mom of Aniya 16. This beautiful duo loves living life to the fullest. They know and understand that
everyone is unique in their own way, and they allow others to do just that. They enjoy traveling to the beach and just
enjoying one another.
When asked how does her family live authentically, Brandy shared, "Authenticity is rare in today's society. People
want to be so fake. I believe we live authentically because we live our lives being who God truly called us to
be. This can be challenging at times because of the pressures of the world to fit in, but we know we were born
to stand out. We are not afraid to take chances and risk to be who we are called to be."
Many know and understand that motherhood is very rewarding and sometimes can be the toughest as well. Brandy
shared, " It has ups and downs, highs and lows. One thing I am certain of is that it caused me to be responsible
at an early age. It helped me learn how to love unconditionally. Motherhood was challenging at first because I
was only 19 when I had her and I was scared out my mind! Through the years it strengthened me and showed
me that I was capable of doing anything."
