Hearing Aaron Pierre rap was not on my Bingo card for 2026.... but hearing him be good at it was even further off it!😩
Can't lie- this turned up his sex appeal a few notches....😮💨🫦
REWIND… ⏪
September 27, 1994.
The day I WAS BORN as an artist.
My debut album #brandy was released, and the dream I had carried as a little girl became something I could hold in my hands… my name on the cover, my whole heart in the music. One of the happiest days of my entire life. Everything I dreamed of becoming… a singer, a dancer, an actress, an artist… was alive in that girl. She had so much she wanted to give.
She still does.
Music means everything to me. It has held so many versions of who I am, and somehow, through every change, it still recognizes me. There are parts of my heart I have only ever been able to reach by singing. To have shared those parts with you for thirty-two years… God, thank You for a life that has allowed my soul to speak.
And now, watching my beautiful daughter, @syraismith Sy’rai, follow her own voice… I understand that a dream can come true and still have more to give you. Once, I was the little girl reaching. Now I get to watch my little girl reach for hers. There are places in a mother’s heart that only her child can awaken.
Sharing the stage with Usher @usher and Keh @kehlani this weekend, being among my creative peers… I felt that divine spark burning so beautifully. The passion. The love. The joy of creating together. After all these years, music can still make me feel like something extraordinary is about to begin.
To everyone who has made room for my voice in your life… thank you. For singing with me. For growing with me. For letting something that began in my heart become part of yours.
Today, I wish I could hold that girl from 1994 and let her feel how deeply we are loved. How much her dream would mean. How much wonder was still waiting.
Thirty-two years later… I still have butterflies.
And somehow… I feel like I’m just getting started. 🩶♾️🩶

Stephen A. Smith reveals he believes White women in the United States of America are generally afforded more humanity than Black women, as Judge Eboni K. Williams highlights the similarities between the cases of Lindsay Clancy and Latarsha Sanders in the state of Massachusetts.
Judge Eboni K. Williams points out that the same judge who presided over Lindsay Clancy’s trial also presided over the 2022 trial of Latarsha Sanders, a Black woman who was found guilty of m*rdering her two sons.
Latarsha Sanders’ convictions were recently overturned after Massachusetts’ highest court ruled that Judge William F. Sullivan wrongly excluded psychiatric records relevant to her mental-health defense, while mental-health and psychiatric evidence was allowed to be presented during Lindsay Clancy’s trial, when Lindsay Clancy similarly k*lled her own three children.
Also, Sumatra Abernathy points out the hypocrisy of some of the same people who voted to protect unborn children by voting against abortion but are now angry with the lone Black holdout juror in the Lindsay Clancy case whose vote resulted in a mistrial, while saying Lindsay Clancy should be found not criminally responsible because of her mental state after she k*lled her three children, while Attorney Ashley Christopher makes an argument about how the same standard is not being applied to Black women.

They called me 'different' twice: albino for my skin, gay for my love. But I choose to be proud of both.
Being gay doesn't dim the beauty of an albino man. It makes his courage to love openly shine even brighter.
