The Gift of Motherhood
For Da Brat and Judy, family takes center stage. Welcoming their new baby has brought profound joy to the couple. Reflecting on this life-changing blessing, Da Brat shared, “It’s the best gift that I’ve ever gotten in my whole life from God and my beautiful wife.” Judy expressed her own joy in watching Da Brat embrace this new role, noting she is giving her wife the space to parent naturally and authentically.
Building a Beauty Empire
Judy’s entrepreneurial journey stands as a masterclass in resilience and vision. Starting Kaleidoscope Hair Products with just $400, she has built a beauty empire generating over $140 million in sales. She credits her remarkable drive to her roots: “I think being from New Orleans, you have to have resilience. You know, going through Katrina and losing everything and having to get it back, you learn how to rebuild.”
Continuing to innovate for diverse cultural needs, Judy recently launched Curl Math, a collection specifically formulated for curly hair, now hitting the shelves at major retailers like CVS and Walmart.
Making Musical History
Da Brat, a beloved co-host on the Rickey Smiley Morning Show, also took time to reflect on her historic music career. As the first solo female rapper to sell a million records, her legacy is firmly cemented. “No matter what you do or say, you can’t change that,” she proudly stated. Fans also have a reason to celebrate, as she teased unreleased R&B material and a deep desire to write gospel music.
A Shared Vision for the Future
Together, Da Brat and Judy are a true testament to Black excellence. Through collaborative ventures like their book, The Way Love Goes, and the protective styling line, Kaleidoscope by the Brat, they continue to uplift the culture.
