Meet LaQuita Mason-Brown

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

Hi LaQuita, really happy you were able to join us today and we’re looking forward to sharing your story and insights with our readers. Let’s start with the heart of it all – purpose. How did you find your purpose?

From an early age, I had a deep revelation: my life was not my own. I firmly believe that each of us was created with a purpose—an assignment greater than ourselves. But I’ve learned over time that it’s impossible to fully walk in that purpose without first finding the One who created us for it.

Life is a journey of seasons, and not all seasons look or feel the same. Some are filled with clarity and joy, while others are marked by discomfort and change. Yet in every season, I’ve learned to lean into the voice that guides me, allowing divine direction to shape my path.

When I reflect on my life, one word consistently comes to mind: service. From my childhood to my career, service and leadership have been the threads woven through every experience. As the eldest sister, I didn’t always appreciate the responsibility of caring for my siblings during long summer breaks. At the time, I saw it as a burden. But in hindsight, I see now that those moments were foundational. God was developing leadership in me. Even at 12 years old, I was unknowingly learning how to delegate, make timely decisions, manage resources, and communicate effectively—all skills that would become invaluable later in life.

Those early lessons came full circle during my 10 years of active-duty service as a USAF Flight Medic. That season refined my ability to lead and serve in high-pressure environments. But even then, entrepreneurship was not on my radar. I had no desire to start a business. I had planned to spend 30 years in the military. That was my plan.

But in 2011, everything changed. I was given the opportunity to care for my mother’s twin sister during her final days. It was sacred, it was personal, and it was transformative. In the quiet of that moment, I heard a still, undeniable voice: “I’m going to give you the ability to do this on a greater level.” I didn’t know what it meant at the time, but I felt it deeply. That encounter shifted everything. The plans I had so carefully made began to unravel. And by my 10th year in the military, I could no longer ignore the discomfort. My season had shifted again.

For the next seven years, I served as a healthcare executive—a season that was critical for expanding my capacity. It prepared me for the next level of leadership as an entrepreneur. Each chapter of my life, even the ones I didn’t understand in the moment, was building toward something greater. Nothing was wasted. The lessons, the setbacks, the wins—all of it was shaping the leader I was becoming.

Today, I see purpose not as a destination, but a journey. A life of purpose is a life of faith, obedience, submission, and sacrifice. It’s about saying “yes” even when the path ahead is unclear. It’s about trusting that each season—whether in the military, the boardroom, or at a sister’s bedside—is preparing you for the work you were uniquely created to do.

Finding your purpose isn’t a one-time event; it’s a lifelong commitment to grow, serve, and lead with intention. And if you’re willing to surrender your plans, you just might find that what’s ahead is far greater than anything you could’ve imagined.

Appreciate the insights and wisdom. Before we dig deeper and ask you about the skills that matter and more, maybe you can tell our readers about yourself?

At the heart of my journey is the work we now do through our home care agency—a true extension of my personal mission of service. We proudly embody SERVICE, integrity, and excellence, but above all, every client we care for becomes an extension of our family. Our goal is simple yet profound: to ensure that seniors can age in place with dignity, independence, and exceptional care, all while never losing the comfort and warmth of home.

What makes this work so urgent and special is the reality that many aren’t aware of: over 10,000 baby boomers turn 65 every single day in the U.S. By the year 2030, all baby boomers will be 65 and older, a population of over 73 million. With 80% expected to have at least one chronic condition, the demand for compassionate, in-home care is rapidly growing. And more than ever, seniors are choosing to age at home rather than in institutional settings.

As someone who’s walked the journey of caring for loved ones, I carry that perspective into every decision we make. This isn’t just business—it’s deeply personal. Our hope is to become one of the largest and most trusted home care agencies in Houston and the surrounding regions, not for the sake of size, but for the opportunity to impact more lives with the kind of care every family deserves.

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?

Q: What areas of knowledge have been most impactful in your journey, and what advice would you offer to those just starting out?

Throughout my journey, the most impactful areas of growth weren’t always found in textbooks—they were rooted in curiosity, vision, discipline, and faith. I’ve learned that you must remain a lifelong student, always open and eager to learn. Curiosity keeps your spirit alive. I also believe in being an optimistic dreamer—you have to be able to see it and believe it within yourself first, or you’ll struggle to ever see it materialize in the physical world.

But dreaming alone isn’t enough. You have to be willing to put your hand to the plow—to do the work. Use what’s in your hands. Leverage your resources. Find a mentor and stay connected to people who are doing what you aspire to do. What you consistently expose yourself to—what you see with your eyes—has the power to shape your mindset and motivation. I always say, your eye gate is your most powerful gate. What you witness and surround yourself with either propels you forward or holds you back.

And most importantly, stay in fellowship through prayer. Every ounce of strength, every strategy, every creative idea I’ve ever received has come from God. Stay connected to the Source, because from Him flows everything you need for the journey.

What was the most impactful thing your parents did for you?

My mom was tough—very tough—and incredibly strict. But looking back, it was exactly what I needed. She never allowed me to be mediocre. It didn’t matter if I was making the bed or doing something far more significant—it had to be done right the first time. She had high standards, and she instilled that same standard of excellence in me from an early age.

What stuck with me the most were her words: “You have a big brain, and you can do anything you put your mind to. Just stay focused.” That simple encouragement, repeated throughout my childhood, shaped my confidence and work ethic. Her voice became the one in my head reminding me that excellence is always the goal, and that nothing is out of reach if I stay committed and focused.
