Brandy has announced she will release a career-spanning memoir, set for release on October 7.
The memoir, which does not yet have a title, “will chronicle Brandy’s ascent from singing at her hometown church in McComb, Mississippi, to R&B stardom, acting, and beyond. Brandy will discuss her achievements as a Grammy-winning performer, her acting roles— including the television series Moesha, Cinderella, and more—and struggles with difficult experiences such as bullying, body dysmorphia, mental health, competition, and more.” (via PEOPLE).
Brandy said in a press release: “I am so excited to finally share my full story in book form. This memoir is the result of countless hours of reflection, work and healing. I hope readers will find comfort and inspiration in these pages.”
The singer also took to Instagram to share a statement, noting, “Writing my memoir was one of the most challenging yet rewarding experiences of my life. I allowed myself the space to be fearless and vulnerable to reveal some of my most intimate moments. For the first time, I am sharing my story–honest, unfiltered and not through the lens of media or critics. 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.”
Brandy’s memoir is set to be released on Oct. 7, 2025 via Hanover Square Press, and is available for preorder HERE.
