A senate RESOLUTION

TO HONOR AND 
CONGRATULATE BRANDY "BEASY BAYBIE" HENSHAW ON HER EXCEPTIONAL RADIO HOST CAREER 
AND HER MANY YEARS OF SERVICE TO COUNTLESS COMMUNITIES ACROSS SOUTH CAROLINA.

Whereas, Brandy Henshaw 
was born in a small town in West Virginia spending most of her adolescent years 
in foster care and group homes in Reading, Pennsylvania, which would later 
influence many of her service efforts. She began her radio career in Charlotte, 
North Carolina as executive producer and radio personality for WGIV's "The BJ 
Murphy Morning Show," later moving to Columbia, South Carolina to do the midday 
show for WHXT before being promoted to the Afternoon Drive position, where she 
held the title of #1 Radio Show for five plus years; and

Whereas, she developed 
many valuable connections which allowed her to do segments for many news brands 
in the city, including WACH Fox, WLTX, WIS, and ABC Columbia, as well as covering 
many major award shows like the BET awards, the Hip Hop Awards, the Social 
Awards, and being the face of many red carpets for major box office hits like 
"The Bobby Brown Story" and "The New Edition Story"; and

Whereas, Brandy Henshaw 
has been recognized many times in her career, being listed as one of the 
world's "Great Black Speakers," being recognized by Who's Who in America, and 
being honored as Radio Ink's "Future African American Leader in Radio." She is 
also a Gracie Award winner, which is considered the highest journalistic 
recognition; and 

Whereas, Brandy is 
married to CoreyJon Nowell-Brown and is a mother to four girls and a bonus 
mother to three more children. Brandy is also the author of three books, "That 
Night I Died," "Conv;cted: The Beasy Baybie Story," and "Jesus & Coffee"; 
and 

Whereas, as the creator 
of Operation We Got Us, a community aid and outreach organization, she has led 
disaster relief efforts, supported foster children, aided imprisoned 
communities, assisted families facing housing instability, and organized annual 
outreach initiatives for underserved communities throughout South Carolina; and 

Whereas, Brandy regularly 
visits local schools, detention facilities, and universities as a motivational 
speaker. She has organized donation drives to aid disaster relief for 
communities around the country, gathered donated books for local prisons, as 
well as clothing for women being released from prison. She has created annual 
events for the underserved on both Thanksgiving and Christmas, as well as 
providing foster children with Christmas gifts from their wish lists. She has 
fundraisers often to help families suffering from evictions to stay in their 
homes comfortably and has successfully prevented many evictions for single 
mothers; and 

Whereas, the members of 
the South Carolina Senate value the way that Brandy "Beasy Baybie" Henshaw exemplifies 
leadership and civic impact through her continued commitment to service, 
mentorship, and advocacy. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the Senate:

That the members of the 
South Carolina Senate, by this resolution, 
honor and congratulate Brandy "Beasy Baybie" Henshaw on her exceptional radio host 
career and her many years of service to countless communities across South 
Carolina.

Be it further resolved 
that a copy of this resolution be presented to Brandy "Beasy Baybie" Henshaw.
