Born in 1937 in Natchitoches Parish, LA, Oscarene was adopted as an infant and raised in Houston, TX. Oscarene found her lifelong partner in Frank Braden, a kindred spirit also from Natchitoches Parish. They raised a close knit and loving family with a foundation built on their devotion and love for God. Together, they also built a portfolio of diverse enterprises across the Houston area from a lawn care business to a fish market, to reception halls and beauty shops from rental properties and a daycare center. As a pioneer of her time, Oscarene built a legacy that will endure for generations to come.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Sister-Cousins<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Nicole Braden Handy<\/p>\n<p>Grandmother: Oscarene<\/p>\n<p>Father: Frank Jr.<\/p>\n<p>Sisters: Lakeshia, Monay<\/p>\n<p>Cousins: Jermeshia, JaQuita<\/p>\n<p>Husband: Larry<\/p>\n<p>The face of the Braden Real Estate Group, Nicole embodies the entrepreneurial spirit passed down from her grandmother, Oscarene.

However, despite not having enough hours in a day and even some postpartum depression, she&#8217;s still determined to make it all work, proving that she can juggle boardrooms and bedtimes, with time left over for her husband, Justin.<\/p>\n<p>JaQuita Martin<\/p>\n<p>Grandmother: Oscarene<\/p>\n<p>Mother: Jackie<\/p>\n<p>Sister: Jermeshia<\/p>\n<p>Cousins: Lakeshia, Nicole, Monay<\/p>\n<p>Husband: Chris<\/p>\n<p>The younger sister of Jermeshia, JaQuita is trained as a pharmacist but now works for the Braden Real Estate Group.

To make matters worse, Chris often feels left out of the Braden clan, clashing with the rest of the family over small matters.
