In Episode 65 of CIRV'N IT RAW, I sit down with the incredible Nikki Bratcher-Beasley, one-third of the '90s R&B group Divine, best known for their Billboard #1 hit "Lately." Nikki opens up about her journey through stardom, touring with N'Sync, recording the Fairy Tales album, and shares insight into her book "Not Wifey Material." We also dive into her entrepreneurial journey with Bratcher Beauty, her very own beauty supply store. Plus, Nikki reveals her Top 5 favorite singers and so much more in this powerful and inspiring conversation.
