Perseverance is a beautiful thing. Defying all odds and rising to the occasion is truly admirable. It’s easy to throw in the towel…but, to push through and face your fears head on requires gusto and determination. On Saturday, January 26, 2019, I had the opportunity to debut my brand, IamBrandeeNicole. I had all these preconceived notions about what to anticipate and how the audience would receive me. When I walked through the doors, I left all of that behind me. I prepared for that moment and did all the required legwork to make it a success. I realized that it was my moment and how I chose to handle it made all the difference. As I reminisced about everything I have been through over the years, it helped me realize that the good and bad experiences shaped and molded this queen. I owned that platform as if I did it many times before. It is not where you’ve been, as it is so much more about how you bounce back. You stumble and fall, yet you get back up and try again. To get a better understanding…recognize that there are so many people waiting for you to bring forth something that is so unique and necessary. Only you can deliver and execute the way you do. Many can emulate, but remember there is only one YOU! Although this musical selection is not an identical depiction of my story, it figuratively and metaphorically reminds me of my grind and the inability to quit. I am a queen, unlike any other, riding the rhythms of my own soul and staying true to self. I hope you appreciate this song as much as I do. I have arrived! Check out the chorus….it speaks volumes! (Listen) see where she came from Many people find it hard just to hang on You often find them in the same place complaining Instead of finding a better way of maintaining She could have balled up and cry Wished that she would die And just gave up on tryin' Instead she grind from the bottom Just to make it to the bottom now she's on top and she's flying By Brandee Nicole | Celebrity Blogger

Today is a special day, as we celebrate the life of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and all his achievements. A man best known for advancing civil rights through nonviolence and civil disobedience. A man who ultimately lost his life for the betterment of others. It was important that I started ‘this’ particular day with significant purpose. Giving of my time and serving in a capacity that supported an entire community was fulfilling and really touched my heart. I served amongst educators, parents and common staff to complete a beautification initiative for a local elementary school. When I tell you the end result of so many selfless individuals was astounding! The areas of beautification included repainting the face of the school, reapplying paint to the parking lot/blockades and replacing the landscape with bushes and plants. As I stood back and assessed the property, I can assure you it was no longer the same school. These acts of kindness remind me how important a collective of people can make a difference. It reminds me that it is about ‘we’ and not I. As long as I live, I will continue to impact others and pave my own way to making a difference in this world. How did you spend your time today? Stay blessed and intentional. “We must all learn to live together as brothers, or we will all perish together as fools.” —Martin Luther King Jr. By Brandee Nicole | Celebrity Blogger There comes a time in life when you cross paths with someone that captivates your soul. Sometimes the timing is right. Sometimes it’s wrong. Often times, it’s not meant to be. One thing I know for sure is that the feeling is undeniable. At times, it appears you are vibrating on the same level. You can feel this person’s energy when they are not around. Instinctively, you can feel their presence when they walk into the room. Is this a coincidence? Maybe, maybe not. The fact of the matter is that there are worlds between us. What I do know to be true is that life goes on. Stand in your truth, feel all the emotions, yet move forward with grace and strength. When you are moving in your purpose, distractions and inconsistencies cannot take residence. Shout out to all the people that can’t be with the person they truly love. I hope you enjoy this song that reminds me of Nirvana! By Brandee Nicole | Celebrity Blogger Life is a process. Life is a journey. You are exactly where you are supposed to be in this moment. Feel every emotion. Cry it out. Laugh! Expect and know that better is on its way. Remove the opinions and distractions of others. Slow down and balance yourself. Get in tune with your natural rhythm. You are not intended to burn yourself out to get to the destination you desire. Stop and take time to smell the roses. Listen to your intuition and let it guide you to the path of least resistance. There, you will find what spirit has purposed for you. Be in a rush for nothing. Balance your mind and well-being. Stop pushing yourself to the limit. Work smarter, not harder. Stop trying to rush the process when you are intended to take the scenic route. You will get there, but the beauty along the way is so much better and rewarding. There are lessons to be learned. You have the responsibility to lessen the burdens for others coming behind you. That is the real joy of life! Be of service and good courage to others. Be the light in darkness. I promise it shines through so bright. Forgive yourself and move forward with grace. Keep your head held high. Let this word guide you through the week. You are enough! As always, do ALL things in love. By Brandee Nicole | Celebrity Blogger Although 2019 has arrived, some are facing turmoil that makes it hard to embrace the beauty in the moment of now. We are not immune to the complexities of life, yet we understand that a positive outlook can make a huge difference. To those that find themselves in this moment, you are not alone. I would like to speak directly to your heart, encouraging you to recognize the celebrity within you that is waiting to be born. Don’t give in to defeat, yet fight with all you’ve got! One nugget I’d like to share is that music has the ability to soothe your soul. All my life, music has spoken to me in a way that no one else can. It is the struggles of each artist, which allows him/her to pour their emotions into the music they make. As I sit and reflect, I recognize music has often been the very thing that encouraged me to press through any obstacle I have come against. 2018 literally shifted my wig!!! As I write new content, I am obligated to provide a song of some sort that resonates with my soul. I hope each and every blog entry and song touches your soul, as it does mine. The intent is for you to get a connection to my thoughts and use the material to inspire yourself and others. Please engage me and comment as you are led to do so. I wish you nothing but the best. As always, do ALL things out of love! You have the ability to transform the way someone perceives the world and others. Make an impact!!! As you liberate yourself, you give people the opportunity to do the same. By Brandee Nicole | Celebrity Blogger |
