Author Felicia Brown
Many celebrities, youth and world leaders have named her as “The Voice of the Youth.” Felicia Brown is the founder of Youth Talk, LLC, The Voice of the Youth, Inc. and Felicia Brown Talks, LLC, a children and youth new media company that produces her national talk show, “Youth Talk with Felicia Brown.” Youth Talk with Felicia Brown Talk Show is dedicated to empowering, educating and entertaining children and youth. Felicia was inspired to create her own talk show after interviewing Nick Cannon and Common. “I remember hip hop icon and children author, Common told me to get my own talk show and that moment was so motivating to me becoming a young entrepreneur, sometimes you just need that extra push,” says Felicia. Felicia is currently a student in The Web Academy, where young people learn to build new media ventures. Only 25 years old, Felicia launched a company to save her generation of youth, by mixing children and youth media with social media, while providing youth with a platform to express their concerns about issues affecting the young generation. “I think our generation just needs to know that someone is listening to them,” says Felicia. Youth Talk with Felicia Brown Talk Show fills that void for tweens, teens and twenty year olds. Felicia uses her talents as a talk show host for youth, youth motivational speaker, youth activist, youth journalist and young entrepreneur to educate children and youth. Felicia is defining media through children and youth talk shows on a new media platform for a demographic born entirely of the digital age generation. Felicia has worked as a youth journalist and youth correspondent for FOX College Network, Palestra.net, CNN iReport, The Mary J. Blige and Steve Stoute Foundation 3E Workshops for Teen Girls and The CW. Felicia has interviewed everyone from B.B. King, Blake Lively, Trey Songz, Mary J. Blige, the only original Temptation living and the list goes on. She has been named by many national journalists as the “Emerging Journalist” to watch. Essence Magazine Editor in Chief, Susan Taylor has called her the “Younger version of Oprah.” While Felicia loves the comment, she explains, “I’m not Oprah Winfrey, there will only be one Ms. Winfrey and there will only be one Felicia Brown, that’s the importance of being an entrepreneur, creating something that no one else has.” The advice I would give to other young entrepreneurs is be yourself because at the end of the day, that’s what makes your product and business unique, originality.
