The R&B icon scorches on the publication’s latest cover as she continues her ‘Love & Laughter’ residency in Las Vegas with Cedric The Entertainer. It also lands on the back of her return to screens with her sisters on hit WE tv series, ‘The Braxtons.’

And since her departure, all I see are hummingbirds—and I feel like that’s her way of talking to us. I know I like to feel that there’s life after life. I think life is everlasting. It never ends. But I just miss her, every day.”
