Brandy has been one of the biggest names in the entertainment industry since her debut over 30 years ago.
Now, the singer/actress is set to open up like never before for her just-announced memoir!
The news of the project was announced on Wednesday (Jan. 8) via PEOPLE:
The memoir, currently untitled, will chart Brandy’s life story, from her early days growing up in Mississippi to her launch to stardom following her platinum debut album, Brandy, released when she was just 15. She would go on to star in the hit sitcom Moesha, and later make history when she played the title character in the 1997 TV movie Cinderella, becoming the first Black actress to play a Disney princess.
It will also detail “the unimaginable lows” that the star endured to become her true self, per a statement shared with PEOPLE, as well as her experiences with body image, bullying, love and heartbreak.
“Brandy’s raw and inspiring memoir is a testament to hope, resilience, and the strength needed to make peace with the past,” the statement continues.
“It’s such an honor and such a blessing to be able to inspire people, to be able to have purpose that way, to be able to encourage young girls to dream big and to go after what you want,” the star said.
“I am so excited to finally share my full story in book form,” Brandy says. “This memoir is the result of countless hours of reflection, work and healing. I hope readers will find comfort and inspiration in these pages.”
Brandy also took to her Instagram to reveal:
“From singing in church as a little girl in McComb, Mississippi, touring across the world, starring as Moesha, and becoming the first Black Cinderella—I’ve experienced unforgettable highs. But what you didn’t see were the struggles behind the scenes, the trials that tested my spirit and shaped the woman I am today.
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. This memoir is a lifetime in the making, and I hope my words bring inspiration as you navigate your own journey. Coming October 7, 2025.”
