R&B veteran Brandy continues to collect accolades. The Grammy Award-winning was honored at the Xscape Puerto Rico Arts & Cultural Music Festival with a “Woman of Soul: Lifetime Career Achievement” award.
“I really appreciate this. It really feels great to be loved and it feels good to be grateful to be loved,” Brandy said in her acceptance speech. “There are times when I didn’t feel as thankful as I should. Now I’m in a place where I’m just thankful for everything.”
The Xscape lifestyle destination festival caters to professional gay men and women of color along with supporters of the LGBT community. Guests enjoyed an action-packed weekend with three nights of theme parties, live entertainment by national recording artists, cultural excursions on the island of Puerto Rico, the LGBT film festival, financial workshop seminar, health & wellness workshops, the Vanguard Awards All White Gala and more.
