“It was a spiritual release. God retrieved the angel He loaned us.
“Braxton was in spiritual retreat, carefully crafting and curating her art. She has since dedicated her art to humanity and healing, composing two albums and three novels.”

“Braxton knew that God was working through her, she had ‘vessel’ and ‘gifted’ permanently placed on her body.
“She knew that her brilliance and art would be shared with the world in God’s timing.”

Talking about her carer in a 2018 interview with SVGE Magazine, Richmond, Virginia-born star Braxton said: “I have been using my creativity to build a unique brand for years.
“I’ve been directing my own shoots, directing my own videos, styling myself, writing poetry, writing articles, writing raps, choreographing dances, styling myself, and styling others like it was nothing for years.
“Now that I’ve embraced that power, I don’t think the world is ready.”
