Okay, so check it, yesterday I was messing around trying to figure out how to get some data about Jayson Tatum’s mom, right? Like, just curious stuff, nothin’ weird. Turns out, it’s not as straightforward as you’d think.
First thing I did, I hit up Google, obviously. Typed in “Jayson Tatum’s mom,” basic stuff. Got a bunch of articles about him and his career, some stuff about his family, but nothing super specific about his mom. A lot of the articles just mention her name, Brandy Cole, but that’s about it.
Next, I went to Wikipedia. Figured maybe there’d be a family section on his page. Nope. Just the usual stats and accolades. Nada about his mom other than a passing mention.
Then I tried digging deeper. Looked for interviews with Jayson where he talks about his mom. Scrolled through YouTube, found a couple of interviews, and finally, I started piecing things together. He talks about her a lot, about how supportive she is, how she helped him through everything. But specific details are still kinda scarce.
After that, I went to social media. Tried searching for Brandy Cole on Instagram and Facebook. Found a few profiles, but I couldn’t be sure which one was actually her. Most of them were private, anyway. Real dead end there.
So, I changed tactics. Instead of trying to find info directly about her, I tried to find info from her. Figured maybe she has a LinkedIn or something related to her work. Turns out, she’s kept a pretty low profile online. Respect.

Finally, I decided to look into Jayson Tatum’s foundation. Sometimes, family members are involved in those kinds of things. I checked out their website, but again, nothing directly about Brandy Cole.
In the end, I got some basic info. Her name is Brandy Cole, she’s been a huge influence in Jayson’s life, and she seems to value her privacy. It’s a reminder that not everything is out there on the internet, and that’s okay. You gotta respect people’s boundaries, you know? So, yeah, that was my little deep dive. Didn’t find a ton, but learned a bit about the process, which is always good.
