Meet Abriam Brown

Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Abriam Brown. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.

Abriam, so great to have you with us and thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts with the community. So, let’s jump into something that stops so many people from going after their dreams – haters, nay-sayers, etc. We’d love to hear about how you dealt with that and persisted on your path.

I’ve learned that the higher you climb, the louder the doubt becomes. I wasn’t born into opportunity, I had to build it. And whenever you’re building something that hasn’t been done in your family, in your community, or in your circle, you’re going to face resistance. People don’t always hate where you are, they hate where they know you’re headed.

I’ve been talked about, overlooked, underestimated, and even disrespected in rooms I worked hard to access. And I’ll be honest, it hurt. I’m human before anything else. Pain taught me something that comfort never could: silence is powerful, discipline is respected, and consistency is undefeated.

I stopped trying to convince people of my abilities. I let my results do the speaking. I stopped shrinking to make others feel comfortable. I stopped apologizing for wanting more. I showed up even when I was tired. I worked even when support wasn’t there. I believed even when no one else did.

With time, the things critics laughed at became the very achievements they started applauding. The same people who once questioned my qualifications now ask for my insight and involvement. Not because I confronted them but because I outgrew them.

To me, persistence isn’t about proving anyone wrong. It’s about proving yourself right. It’s choosing purpose over opinions. It’s staying focused until your work speaks louder than any rumor or negativity.

So, how do I persist? By remembering that applause is optional but consistency is required. By understanding that not everyone will celebrate you, but you must celebrate yourself. Today, I walk into rooms knowing I earned my seat and if that seat isn’t offered, I’m not afraid to build my own table.

Persistence didn’t make me perfect. It made me unshakeable.

Thanks, so before we move on maybe you can share a bit more about yourself?

I’m Abriam Brown, also known as AB. I help artists turn their visions into reality as a creative strategist and personal assistant, managing the details behind the scenes so every project runs seamlessly. I’m also a funeral service professional, guiding families with care, precision, and compassion during some of life’s most meaningful moments. What drives me is making an impact whether shaping unforgettable experiences for artists or ensuring families are supported with dignity. I thrive on solving challenges, orchestrating complex projects, and creating moments that leave a lasting impression. My work is built on professionalism, trust, and intentionality, and I bring focus and integrity to everything I do. Currently, I’m expanding my expertise in artist management and creative strategy while continuing to grow in funeral service leadership. Every project I take on is purposeful, every role I step into is meaningful, and every day is about making a difference that people remember.

Looking back, what do you think were the three qualities, skills, or areas of knowledge that were most impactful in your journey? What advice do you have for folks who are early in their journey in terms of how they can best develop or improve on these?

Looking back, the three qualities that have shaped my journey are resilience, adaptability, and attention to detail. Resilience has kept me focused even when others doubted my vision. Adaptability has allowed me to succeed in very different spaces, from artist management to funeral services. Attention to detail ensures every project I touch is executed with precision and care. For anyone starting out, I’d say embrace challenges, stay flexible, and never underestimate the power of doing the little things right. It often makes the biggest impact.

To close, maybe we can chat about your parents and what they did that was particularly impactful for you?

Although my parents are no longer with me, their influence is something I carry every day. They showed me the importance of hard work, integrity, and faith, not always through words, but through the way they lived their lives. Even in their absence, their lessons guide me in how I approach my work, how I treat people, and how I face challenges. Every achievement, every decision, and every moment of perseverance feels like a reflection of the values they instilled in me. Their legacy continues to inspire me to push forward, stay focused, and make a meaningful impact in everything I do.
