Originally, she did it because of scholarship opportunities, but quickly realized that there were other advantages.

“It has really amplified me as a person.”

So she was really able to achieve personal growth thanks to these events.

That aforementioned growth also helped her develop some real-world people skills, too.

“I have been able to talk to really anybody from all aspects of life,” she continued.

But fortunately, Brown was able to make the most of those experiences.

“I talk to my girl Demi on a daily basis,” Brown revealed in an interview withFansided.

“We talked for an hour last night before we went to bed.

We told each other ‘sweet dreams.’

So we are always calling each other up.”

Brown has nothing but gratitude in her heart for her newfound partner-in-crime.

“Unleash the beast, you know!”

We wonder what the two have planned for the future!

She continued, “I got honest.

I got raw and real with myself.

That couldn’t have been easy to do on national television, of all places, either.

But seeing her blossom on TV could be really fun at times, and it showed.

That’s how you do it, girl!

Nothing but respect for you for that, bud.

That’s a good indicator of compatibility, for sure.

“I honestly couldn’t believe people were like, ‘What?’

I was like, ‘Oh my God!

That’s so awesome,'” she continued.

“It’s so amazing, but then I’m like, ‘How?'”

You’re not the only one wondering, sister!
