If you are a fan of Brat Loves Judy on WeTV, you already know that Brat Loves Judy Season 2 Finale ended with Brat having an exclusive listening party and with Brat and Judy mentioning that Brat Loves Judy will be back for season 3!!!!!
If you look really closely during the listening party, you will see that When We Speak TV was one of the invited media.

The crowd has been getting larger and larger each night!!!!
