As reported by IOL, she delivered a heartfelt speech, saying, “Seeing the stars on the Walk of Fame lit something in me. It made me believe. It made me affirm over my own life: I’m going to sing my way onto one of these stars. And I did! I have always believed my mark in this industry could be something meaningful and lasting.

As honoured as I’ve been by every accolade, every milestone, every form of recognition, I didn’t want to stop at just being remembered on the Hollywood High School mural. I wanted a legacy written in stone.”

Other stars who joined the celebration included Monica, Kehlani, Jenifer Lewis, her “Moesha” co-stars Shar Jackson and Marcus T. Paulk, her daughter Sy’rai Smith, and her parents Sonja B. Norwood and Willie Norwood.

Through her consistency and dedication over the years, Brandy deservedly earned her moment amongst the stars.
