Brandy recently added author to her resume, as she released her memoir, Phrases. Speaking to Robin Roberts on Good Morning America, she spoke about why she chose to open up about her life.
“To give my younger self a voice. To give my inner child a process to heal from the things that I went through with all of the scrutiny and pressures on my life growing up as a child star,” she says. “It was a … difficult time and I wanted to bring light to the stories that shaped me.”
Part of Brandy’s life story includes recently being honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, as well as the Boy is Mine tour with Monica.
“I hadn’t been onstage in such a long time. I hadn’t been in connection with my fans the way I should,” Brandy says, noting that the love and support from fans “reignited my whole life.”
With that renewed energy, she adds that she’s going to continue making music and is even open to a reboot of Moesha.
Whether through the book, music or television, Brandy wants her fans to know one thing.
“I’m a pure person, and I love what I do,” she says. “I’m so blessed to be able to do music and create at a high level and I’m just excited for my future.”
