Sevonna Brown’s work began under her grandmother’s kitchen table: small hands, big ears, and a heart wide open.

Playing behind her grandmother’s knees, she listened to the stories, secrets, and inner lives of the women who raised her: her aunts, her older sisters, the women who whispered about fibroids, heavy cycles, miscarriages, menopause, and the quiet suffering they were told to endure. She became a little researcher before she even had the language for it—studying their pain, their resilience, and the patterns that too often cost Black women their health and sometimes their lives.

That early calling shaped everything.

Today, Sevonna is a strategist, storyteller, and systems-builder whose mission is singular and deeply personal: to save the lives of women and families by transforming the conditions that harm them. She weaves together strategy, operations, and healing-informed leadership to create environments where truth, tension, and transformation can exist without rupture. With a trauma-aware, equity-centered lens, she names what others avoid, racialized and gendered power, structural neglect, and turns those truths into pathways for safety, accountability, and possibility.

Whether guiding organizations through complex change, designing programs that restore dignity and care, or building solutions that improve health experiences and outcomes, Sevonna moves with the precision of a strategist and the devotion of someone who remembers exactly where her story began: beneath a kitchen table, learning that women’s stories are blueprints for survival. Her work is rooted in that legacy, loving women and families enough to fight for systems that finally love them back.
