With a career spanning more than four decades, Brenda Braxton has become a celebrated force in the world of theater and beyond. A Tony Award–nominated actress, Braxton has graced Broadway and Off-Broadway stages across the globe, earning accolades for her dynamic performances and unwavering dedication to the craft.

But her influence doesn’t stop at the stage door. As a visionary entrepreneur, Brenda Braxton has launched several impactful ventures. She founded the nonprofit organization Leading Ladies Just for Teens (LLJFT), which empowers young women through mentorship and education. In Harlem, she established BBRAXTON: Exceptional Grooming for Exceptional Men, a boutique that redefined luxury grooming for men of distinction. Her latest endeavor, however, is perhaps her most personal and transformative for all women. PAUSE by BBRAXTON is a wellness movement dedicated to women over forty navigating the journey of menopause. Through curated subscription gift boxes, intimate community spaces, and candid conversations, PAUSE by BBRAXTON offers support, education, and empowerment during menopause often shrouded in silence due to shame and embarrassment.
