You Should Know Her: Brandi Williams Wants To Know If U Got Juice?

If born several decades earlier Brandi N. Williams would have been an afro wearing, fist-in-the air social activist. Instead the bicentennial baby and hip-hop music lover chose a career in public relations.

She has worked with some of the nation’s most prominent Fortune 500 companies; entertainers; athletes; and local, regional and national government and non-profit organizations.
