R&B icon, Brandy Norwood recently turned 41, and her grown daughter Sy'rai, took to social media to share an emotional write up about her mom.
Brandy Norwood turned a year older, and her daughter, Sy'rai Smith, took to her Instagram page to celebrate her and pen a short but beautiful tribute to the diva.
On her Instagram story, Smith showed admiration for her mom as she wrote beautiful things about her. Through her heartfelt post, it is easy to deduce that the teenager holds her mama dear.

SY'RAI CELEBRATES HER MOM
Sy'rai Smith shared a lovely photo of the ever-youthful brandy rocking her signature braids in what seemed like a photoshoot session. Contrasting with the beige looking background was Brandy's chic denim outfit. The happy daughter gleefully wrote on the post:
"Happy Birthday, Mama. You are an amazing beautiful, talented role model that I'm so blessed to have. I love you so so much."
With such a blissful birthday tribute, Sy'rai did have her reasons to be grateful for her "amazing" mama. The two are often in the news for serving fans with the mom-daughter goals moments, and they never hesitate to show each other love.

BRANDY'S BROTHER ISN'T LEFT OUT
Brandy's brother, Ray J, also took out time to celebrate his sister and fellow music star. On his Instagram page, Ray shared a cozy photo of brandy holding a newborn in her hands while she beautifully smiled at the camera.
Brandy mentioned that her parenting style involved being a friend first before being a mom.
Fans were excited in the comments as they joined the celebrity in celebrating his older sister. With the comments section filled with confetti emojis and birthday wishes, fans showed their love.
SY'RAI PREACHES SELF-LOVE
Sy'rai once made headlines after she took an exceptional step on an Instagram live video chat. In the live feed, she was with some girls who got quality advice about self-love.
During the conversation, Iman Smith used herself as an example while telling the girls about the issues of size and how one should not change due to pressure. According to her:
"Don't change because of what they say, change because you want to change. Don't ever let anybody else tell you who you are."
BRANDY IS A PROUD MAMA
Following the thoughtful words of Sy'rai on Instagram, her live video went viral, and her star mom couldn't help the swell of pride as she took to her Instagram page to gush over her bundle of joy.
Making it known that Sy'rai left her speechless, the "Aphrodisiac" crooner informed fans in her caption that she couldn't hold back her tears of joy. Fans joined her in appreciating Sy'rai as they commended the teenager in the comments.
Over the years, Brandy and her daughter have shown that they share a strong bond, and this might have made it easy for Sy'rai to be open-minded and strong-willed.
Once while speaking with "People," Brandy mentioned that her parenting style involved being a friend first before being a mom. According to her, this might seem odd, but it did help to breed healthy communication between her and her daughter.
