Brandi took time out of her busy schedule to answer those questions. The conversations with Brandi were cryptic initially, and not even a few weeks later, Brandi announced that her YouTube show A Shot of Brandi would be taken to another level on television.
The announcement brought joy since Brandi took such pride in making her YouTube show different than any other show seen anywhere. It was also very clear that Brandi will be doing just fine with all the changes that have happened in the last few months.
