Cocoa Brown: Thank you so much.
UG Digital: Before we head out today, I want you to touch on your
charity work.
Cocoa Brown: Yes! I have so many
that I support, but mine personally is

Let’s have a ball and celebrate these
women and their strength. That’s
what it’s all about.
UG Digital: I think it’s amazing. I work

Cocoa Brown: Yes, thank you so
much for the interview. Let people
