PEOPLE can exclusively announce that the Grammy-winning performer, 45, will publish a new book this fall.
The memoir, currently untitled, will chart Brandy’s life story, from her early days growing up in Mississippi to her launch to stardom following her platinum debut album, Brandy, released when she was just 15. She would go on to star in the hit sitcom Moesha, and later make history when she played the title character in the 1997 TV movie Cinderella, becoming the first Black actress to play a Disney princess.
It will also detail “the unimaginable lows” that the star endured to become her true self, per a statement shared with PEOPLE, as well as her experiences with body image, bullying, love and heartbreak.
