Brandee Evans is enjoying a career-high like few others. The former dancer became one of the breakout stars of the series P-Valley. As a result, her full life has been put on display, with Evans taking full advantage of the platform to educate people on herself and her world. A major part of her journey has been caring for her mother and dealing with the loss of a daughter.
Brandee began her career as an educator following her graduation from the University of Memphis. She worked as an english teacher at Southwind High School in her hometown of Memphis, TN. Dancing called her name, and Brandee moved to Hollywood, where she began performing with the likes of Katy Perry, Monica, Ke$ha, and more. Acting came knocking shortly after, and she scored her first role in 2018 on the Lethal Weapon series. From there, she appeared in The Bobby Brown Story on BET as the titular character’s sister. By 2020, her background in dance made her a perfect fit as the lead in P-Valley, a series about exotic dancers.
While her dreams were taking off, things at home became a bit more complicated for Evans. She became a full-time caretaker for her mother, who has Multiple Sclerosis. The illness has taken away her mother’s mobility and ability to speak, so she relies solely on Brandee. The actress has admitted that while it is tough, she has been able to create a support system around herself that has allowed her to care for her mother and still pursue her dreams. She has become an advocate for MS and speaks out often for the “caregiver community.” She also launched a line of apparel called “Caregiver Strong” to help raise money to continue to find support and resources for those struggling with MS.
