It’s been a long time coming, but Toni Braxton is finally being recognized for her immense contribution to the community.

She has had an impressive career as a singer and songwriter. Her work has earned her seven Grammy Awards, nine Billboard Music Awards, five American Music Awards and numerous other awards throughout the years. But it’s not just her music that makes Toni Braxton so special; she is also being honored for her commitment to community service.
Braxton’s passion for giving back began when she was only 17-years-old and already helping people in need in her hometown of Severn, Maryland. She continued this tradition by visiting schools and hospitals around the world while on tour with her siblings during their heyday as The Braxtons. Additionally, over the past two decades Toni has been involved in several charities such as Make A Wish Foundation, UNICEF USA, Feeding America and many more.
Her dedication to charity hasn’t gone unnoticed – recently she’s received recognition from organizations like My Brother’s Keeper Alliance and Impact Award presented at ESSENCE Festival for all of these selfless acts that have enriched lives across multiple communities worldwide. It’s clear why Toni Braxton will be receiving another prestigious accolade for her efforts in making a positive difference in our society today.
