Timone Brown encouraged and continues to inspire me to be a better version of myself everyday. His positive outlook on life made me feel like my dreams were attainable if I kept a similar mindset. Aside from being encouraging Timone’s selfless character is always evident because he consistently puts others before himself.

The way he treated me and how he looked out for me was not only eye opening and life changing, but is something I will never forget.”

Timone is an honest and passionate leader in the Richmond community. He speaks from his heart and is completely transparent with his audience. Mr. Brown is an articulate motivator for our city’s youth. He makes no excuses or apologies about who he is as a man and is a powerful speaker.

Timone is one of the most honest, hard working and motivated brothers I have met in my entire life. This brother inspires me to be great every single day whether from an IG post or a conversation in passing. I think that the youth and the world around him has a lot to gain from this brother. I believe that he is destined for greatness because he knows his potential and he isn’t afraid to strive towards his goals. I pray that your strength, willingness, and ambition continue grow Timone.

I appreciate the opportunity to fellowship with the phenomenal people I met at this event. The amount of creativity and positive energy in that room was astounding. I truly did not want to leave. I especially appreciated that this was an interactive session which gave us the opportunity to ask questions and interact with the talents who offered their expressions; I truly felt like I was part of the experience. Please do this again...SOON!
