Halfway through the first semester all I could think about was acting and performing,” Brown remembered.
“Daddy you need to come get me, I’m wasting your money. I’m supposed to be an actress! That Saturday morning I got in my daddy’s car and said “Daddy I’m sorry I’m quitting, but I promise you, one day I’m going to be famous and when that happens I will do fashion then, but for now I gotta pursue this passion for performing!”
