About me: Thank you God for the love and guidance that You have given me...all of the blessings and lessons are true gifts. I am thankful for the opportunity to speak through dance and choreography and hope that I may continue on that journey.
I seek my stability in the quiet observation of change. When I look at my reflection I want to see growth smiling back at me :)

Ms. Brown has also performed works by Dianne McIntyre, Roger C. Jeffrey, Nathan Trice, Bridget L.
