The final piece of the puzzle for Kelly Rowland’s new R&B girl group has finally been put into place.

After putting dozens of young ladies through a no-nonsense selection process to eventually form a group of five talented songstresses on BET’s Chasing Destiny, Kelly and the girls have been brainstorming to come up with their official group name, and now, the wait is over. Kelly took to social media yesterday afternoon to make the announcement just as the girls made their way over to BET for a short video interview where they finally revealed their group name: June’s Diary.
