Erika Brown

I’m a living example of how even though the world can easily write your sentence one way, it doesn’t have to end how society often finishes it. I’m the daughter of a man that grew up sharecropping in the rural south and a woman that grew up the second oldest of 7 children living in a two-room house in Louisiana. I’m a black girl that grew up south of Dallas, that got pregnant before getting married and had to get a job before getting a degree. I worked my way up in a Corporate job for many years before leaving to pursue my own dreams in Real Estate. With God’s grace, hard work, and learning from the people that I aspired to be like, I turned a career as a Real Estate Agent into a multi-million dollar Real Estate empire that provides jobs, empowers the community, and provides online education to help others write a different sentence too.
