ABOUT

CHARLEE BRAZIER

Charlee D. Brazier is a three-decade journalist, artist, fashion designer, and the founder and publisher of Significant Magazine. Raised in a large family in Grand Rapids, Michigan and now based in Palm Coast, Florida, Brazier has spent her life transforming creativity into a force for healing, inspiration, and empowerment just as it once healed her as a child.

Her career began in 1998 as a model, actress, and reporter, eventually expanding into editorial leadership, cultural commentary, and multimedia storytelling. As a journalist, she covered entertainment, community issues, and national stories, interviewing prominent celebrities, diplomats, and cultural figures. She also helped build The Perspective, the first Black magazine in the Southwest, where her “Woman 2 Woman” column became a powerful voice for women and the Black community.

An Army veteran, Brazier used her creative gifts to uplift soldiers during wartime, organizing fashion shows at officer clubs on military bases. After her service, she earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Fashion & Design from The Art Institute of Seattle and an associate’s degree for a Medical Assistant at Pierce College.  She later trained for a few years in cinematic arts under Christopher Coppola, strengthening her writing and directing skills. In 2016, Brazier founded Significant Magazine in Clarksville, Tennessee with a mission to save lives through creative expression. Relaunched in Florida in 2024, the bi-monthly international publication that raises funds for at-risk veterans and survivors of domestic violence. Through art, film, fashion, music, and its global Writers Circle, Significant Magazine connects communities worldwide and provides a platform for healing, storytelling, and cultural unity.
