Brandy is slaying and stunting for the March 2017 issue of ‘Fashion Bomb Daily‘ photographed by Tyren Redd and styled by Michael Mann in honor of International Women’s Day.

The vocal bible looks radiant and as stunning as ever as she rocks various looks and styles for the fashion forward spread. Between the pages, she dishes on her new music, motherhood, the impact her mother had on her, and more. Get into some highlights below via FBD as well as snaps.

Even though she has been through some trials and tribulations with her label, she says, “The music is definitely happening. I have been fighting for freedom for a while as an artist. That why it’s taken me so long. I’m very very excited for my new songs. These are songs that are a raw truth about a particular phase in my life that I just had to confront. This is going to be some of the best work I’ve ever done. Because I know who I am.”

She cites her mother, Sonja Norwood as an example of a strong woman in her life. She explains, “She has always been there for me. She has always shown so much strength in so many different circumstances in both of our lives together. She’s always tried to remind me that I’m here for a reason and I’m here for a huge purpose. [She tells me to not] let anyone try to diminish just why GOD created me. It took me a while to really get that. But, I have it now. I am grateful, and humbled and thankful to her for waiting for me to get to this point. Because it’s hard to watch your daughter go through things and then watch her have to be strong for herself. And then when [I] finally get that strength and get that power [I’ve] been working so hard to get, it’s a relief for her. She can exhale knowing that I have my best interests at heart.”

#Mether #Repost @fashionbombdaily ・・・ In an exclusive interview with @fashionbombdaily for #internationalwomensday , @4everbrandy credits motherhood as one on her life’s greatest achievements. She offers, “My daughter has really turned everything into me being the greatest version of myself. I strive every day to be the greatest version of myself because of her existence. I don’t think I would be here today if my daughter didn’t come into my life when I was 23. She made me see what was real and what was not. I am so thankful for her life. And I’m so equipped to be everything she needs me to be for her life because she’s done so much for mine. I’m just gonna keep going and going and keep showing her to never give up on herself.” Here, #Brandy is wearing an @iijinUSA @thekooplesofficial and @sutrajewels . What do you think?

##Mether Repost @fashionbombdaily ・・・ In honor of International Women’s Day #internationalwomensday , @FashionBombDaily Editor-In-Chief @ClaireSulmers chatted with our March 2017 cover star, @4EverBrandy, in an exclusive interview about womanhood, motherhood, and the definition of a strong woman. She says, “[The Definition of a Strong Woman is] when you can hold your ground and you can be firm about your life and the things that you want and the things that you deserve; [It’s when you know] what you’re worth and how you value yourself. Having that kind of poise and having that kind of strength. I’m so glad that I’ve been able to find my own strength because it hasn’t always been like this. I’m thankful that I’m very very strong. I wouldn’t lose that for the world.” Read the rest and see more ?on FashionBombDaily.com! #Brandy is wearing a look from @TheKooplesOfficial and @TeatumJones shoes.

[I’ve been able] to see I am more powerful than my circumstance. While the circumstance is still gone because you have overcome it, you are the one that is still there. When you look back with your hindsight, you can see that, ‘This is What I’ve Come Through? I’m a Beast, I’m Amazing.
