road to reinvention.
“I want to do things different
now and to show people the
maturation. There will be a big
change, but no one does a 360
overnight. I've learned to ac
cept my shortcomings and flaws.
I've made mistakes,” she tells
JET magazine.
With a new outlook on life.

"Brooklyn's Don Diva." The

album in seven years.
“I believe she has the skills.
They aren't going anywhere,”
said Poke o f the duo
Trackmasters, who discovered
Brown. “Com ing this tim e
around, she needs to fix her
attitude toward the business and
how to deal with people.”
