In light of the recent events, we at BEYOUROWN want to develop our involvement with the #Blacklivesmatter movement and collectively stand in solidarity to help protect others who fall victim to racial hatred. We have put together a project with some of the UK’s leading black female entrepreneurs from a selection of diverse industry fields, these women have written a heartfelt letter, to shed a little more light on their own personal journey throughout career and business building.

Multi-dimensional, these women highlight many aspects of the racial discrimination experienced, whether it be the invisible limitations and challenges faced due to skin colour, or the micro-aggressions, racial inequality and disgusting abuse that occurs in and out of the workplace, much of which is typically down-played, humoured and is not a true depiction of what we often see in UK mainstream media.

At BEYOUROWN we stand in solidarity, love and humanity. Furthermore, we will maintain our commitment to working consciously as a community to address and improve the conditions regards to racial inequality. We will also stand behind and support those who push for justice and fairness. We must not stay silent, for silence will simply not dismantle this alone. We must educate ourselves and others. We absolutely must protect those who are prey to racial inequality, mistreatment, pain and suffering on a daily basis. We at BEYOUROWN will continue to acknowledge our position of privilege and will use it for the greater good. We aim to highlight and amplify the voices of our Black female entrepreneurs and will continue to do so.

Dr Ava Eagle Brown’s letter

I grew up, a girl in one of the most deprived areas in Jamaica. A place is so beautiful yet its memories so ugly. Always on a race for survival being chased by monsters of all kinds – incest, violence, sexual abuse, homelessness, and worse.

The community expected me to join the rooted recreational activities of sex, raising babies, and going to the farm. Deep down I believed there was light at the end of the tunnel. Just when I thought it could not get worse, I was raped in front of my 3- year old daughter, and a gun on my head. Enough was enough, I decided to flee to the UK.

I was broken, yes, but I could heal, and I was going to be stronger and better. What I was not prepared for, was how difficult it was, that I had to work three times as hard as my counterparts and still do!

I am now a mindset and resilience coach specialising in trauma and tough situations. I’m also an author to books such as The Mango girl and The Single Mother’s Diary (which is a documentary on Amazon prime video), multi-award winning motivational speaker having clients such as London Borough of Merton and sharing stages with the likes of Levi Roots. Nominated at this year’s The Tällberg/Eliasson Global Leadership Prize, received ‘We are The City Award 2017’ and also CEO of my skincare line – Mango Girl.

However, it’s not always stars and sunshine. Being a woman of colour in entrepreneurship is incredibly challenging, especially in Western countries. We are forced to deal with inequality, stereotype, and stigma that comes along with it.

Black women entrepreneurs face more barriers than their male counterparts, such as lack of mentors, discrimination, and, more importantly, inadequate capital, as highlighted by a new report from the National Women’s Business Council, prepared by Walker’s Legacy.

More and more black women are becoming entrepreneurs globally but investment in their businesses is not increasing in direct proportion to their activity.

Some of these problems can be solved by seeking traditional ways of getting funds, such as bank loans. We also need continued and increased support for community-based business resources such as Women’s Business Development Centres. Lastly, since investors tend to fund people who look like themselves, we need more angel investors who are also people of colour.

I hope that in the future, funds will be more accessible, and there would be more equal opportunities for African extraction women. I hope that we do not have to start most of our business from our bedrooms and kitchens; and that we are treated with the same respect as white women in our field. That more of us get to sit at the tables as CEOs of Fortune 500 companies, and that we are seen by our talents and not our colours.

Most importantly, I wish that we will keep on rising no matter what pushes us down.

With love and strength,

Dr Ava Eagle Brown

The past week has been very emotional for my family. We have encountered so many different emotions, I didnt even realise that I for one possess.

 I have moved from explaining to my eight years old what’s happening at times in a sheltered way and others through tears.

From anger to frustration, fear, and even downright wanting to rebel are so of the words that spring to mind. In it all, I have seen people jump on the bandwagon using hashtags #BLACKLIVESMATTER #sayhisname #ICantBreathe not because they mean, but it is en vogue.

Then others jumped off the sideline because it saves their brands and makes them appear to sympathisers of the struggle we face.

And then we have those who are still standing with their arms folded, far too afraid to try and see the other side, even with so much brutality right in their living rooms.

There was one video on IG, that highlighted the blatancy with which some families are deeply rooted in their hatred for our race.

In the video, a little girl scolded her mother, who told her she was tired and didnt want to see or hear any more of the racial uprising.

The little girl could be heard, expressing sheer shock at her mum’s intolerance. Now pause and imagine that.

On the flip side, I have seen real compassion, where friends of mine genuinely checking in on us not because it is cliche, but because they see me not my race, and I am part of them.

The conversations need to continue because all life cannot matter until black lives matter.

My grandma and I had a conversation recently, and so did myself and my mother. In that discourse, I was reminded that it had been the same conversation they had with their grandparents. This would mean six generations on, and we are having the same dialogue. Te dialogue to change one’s sex did not take six generations, yet race is taking over four (400) under years.

I cannot imagine and want my son ten years from now, to have even be having these conversations – the said ones Martin, Malcolm, and Rosa had.

It is time for real change that sees black kids not being afraid to run errands to their corner shop for their parents for fear of being gunned down..

Fear that robs them of speaking with their hands while gesticulating. Too afraid of being stopped by a cop or murdered like Sandra Bland, George, and too many to name here as we all know whether we are black or white.

The time has come for employees to look at the way they hire, are their teams diverse, their governance, and boards. What representation is there?

The classroom, are we taking off the labels and funnel for black children?

When your children show up with a non-white partner, are you ready to accept him or her, or will you get out of the shotgun? Ultimately the choice is yours then. 

But here is a real chance to start the shift towards helping that decision if it came on your steps in the future.

The time has come, when we all need to exist in harmony- like the oak and the pine: the whale and the shark.

They are all after one thing, trying to survive, thrive, and look after themselves and families where this is relevant.

*What will that change look like for you?

*Employers, how will you change?

*Is your staff diverse? 

*Is there representation on your boards?

*It is the time to reflect and do a SEF.

*Can you change how you post on social media, how you collaborate in business deals, or even choose what you say?

The doors are now open, and we will need to become uncomfortable in parts to honestly use the hashtag all life matters.

 Discomfort can push us, and we all need to hold hands across the globe and start today, not tomorrow, or when this is over. Now is the time for real change to start!

COVID would have seen many lives saved by blacks.

How can they be kind enough to save your lives and care for you when you are sick, then when you are better, they are the scum of the earth?

 There is a broken link, and this now needs mending.

As Gandhi said, we have to be the change ….you have to be your change. I am ready to have a dialogue with any of white colleagues who are opened to understand and talk this through.

Serena William’s husband has set an example, learn from him. 

Take a watch…this is coming off the sidelines.

Why Should I Write A Book During Quarantine? Life has certainly taken a drastic shift since the rise of the COVID-19 pandemic. The novel coronavirus has shifted the world dynamics as well as many people’s livelihoods drastically.

Many people have lost their jobs. Many people are on their way to lose theirs, as many companies are going bankrupt. The pandemic has genuinely become a cause of great worry and stress for many people.

So what can people do whose jobs are hanging by a small thread or who have lost their jobs?

As we cant all become computer geniuses overnight or become Instagram or YouTube famous what we can achieve in a short time without much struggle is by writing.

We all have faced through one struggle or another, and we all have the creative mindsets. So by putting them in the form of words, we can achieve a lot.

Let’s Do Something Creative – Let’s Write A Good Book!

In the time of corona, whether you are suffering through it or just waiting for it to pass by. You can sit and write and just tell your story or any different stories which you can think of. Write then self-publish it, and who knows where it would take you in your life.

But book writing doesn’t come that easy. You need a bit of coaching and guidance. Once you get to know what you have to do, then you just have to sit and start typing away.

You can write about your experience during corona or the struggles it has brought you. Write about how your overcoming the struggles and coming out of this pandemic sane.

So, I plan to write a book during Quarantine, what are the other benefits? Writing a book can also help you remain sane during the pandemic and might make you money too. So don’t sit idle.

Start typing and let your imagination carry you to places you always wanted to go but could never do. Create a new world, your world where you can do whatever you want.

Let your imaginations run wild. And if your imagination is already wild, start typing. The most that can happen during this is that the way you want to express your imagination might not be moulding into words properly, and the best solution for that is a writing course.

It can help you enhance your skills and enrich you with the knowledge of how to express your imagination or feelings into words that can entice the audience.

Start now and write away as your stories might become a benefit for you and others as well.

The journey to success has FAILURE laced all around it, inside of it, under it, outside of it, with people associated with it and so forth. I am certain you caught my drift. That being the case , it trips up so many of us as failure sometimes attaches itself in many ways , situations etc, and unto so many things that it almost convinces us that there is no success in sight . NADA.

But I am here to tell you that failure has success disguised in it and only some recognise this, hence a few succeed. Failure is all part of the success formula .

Like my brother and awesome mate reminds me often when failure is knocking me down ‘Ava, if it was easy everyone would be doing it’. None other than ‘The Incredible Mark Clarke-.

Listen to me this morning purposewalkers, attached to each failure is an element of your success.

,Learn to avoid being distracted by the deception of what looks like and sometimes feels like failure. That failure could be the feedback you need to tweak a proposal in order for it to become a success.

Whatever failure crops up this week, this month, this year look it in the eye and tell it that it will not derail or distract you.

Why should you listen to me one may ask, because I have worn the t-shirt and still do in different areas of my life. I have failed at so many things and so many times I have lost count. But equally I have won so many times in , after and during some of these said failures I am a testament.

Have faith, from and breathe through your test.

As a life coach I work with some many people daily , helping them to get out of the rut. If you feel that you need that hand to pull you up, drop me a mail today for an informal chat at info@avabrown.org.

When I thought of doing the single mother anthology, it was an exciting feeling, to be honest. I was sitting in my car frustrated, wondering what I would do with my son because of the job offer I was just presented with. But of course, I had no childcare, no family support and we needed the money. You see that has been the story of my own life for the past 18 years.

The job was there, I didn’t have anybody to look after my son, and here I was once again. I had fallen back into a situation that I never wanted to be in, again.
That of a single mother.
Before my son, (Mikhel Kai) was seven, I had my daughter, Chardonnay, life was hard and we worked together for a long time on this journey, just the two of us juggling life.
I never wanted to be a single mother again, and here I was. What was I supposed to do when my eldest who was now 14, a grown teenager and I was about to I give birth to a baby? Was I to do an abortion? Was I to die? Trust me, getting an abortion was one thought but I decided to carry on.
He was a new addition to our family, and I had started doing everything I swore I would never have to do, again.
I was doing the nursing, changing all the diapers and I always thought I would never do all of that alone again, but what was I to do?
Single mothers, as busy as life gets please remember focussing on what you want is the best way to get out of this space. We sometimes sink into a pit of poor me syndrome, but listen to me, learn to snap out of that space and focus more on what you desire at the end of this chapter of your life.
I was gifted with a beautiful son, a fantastic kid who enriched my life. I never wanted to be a single mother again, and my unique mother journey began when I was at the age of 22. I was married back in 1998 and gave birth to my beautiful daughter Chardonnay Elizabeth and didn’t do everything alone at first, as her father and I were together. But as life would have it, we got separated, but it was never that challenging, as I was able to afford nannies, etc. Then, life happened again, and I ended up in the UK.
(See The Mango Girl and learn more about my life, as this book isn’t so much about that.)
However, life became more challenging when I moved to the UK, and I didn’t have any support system. Back in Jamaica, you can ask a neighbour or friend to give you a hand in picking up the child, but here in the UK, the laws are so strict that you can’t have anybody pick up the child unless they are registered on a list and it becomes complicated beyond belief.
So, how was I going to juggle everything? As a result, I spent a lot of my time being a supply teacher, who was an agency staff, and so I lived a very cagey and sheltered life and to be honest, sometimes it was frustrating. I couldn’t date, I couldn’t get a breather, and I had no personal space most of the time.
I wasn’t able to take a breather, yet I found myself caring for two children as a single mother and struggling with the bills was hard. I found myself wrapping my son in a blanket sometimes in winter due to lack of petrol. OH, it has been hard. I was bending my back all by myself, and it was draining. I was going for a corporate job and just making enough money to pay for the nursery, his father didn’t contribute. Chardonnay became a teenager very quickly, her needs changed, and I wanted to write a book about showing the other side of what single parents go through. I’m not in a position to give you the whole background of my single-parent life, but sometimes I feel like giving up because I feel like the one pair of shoes that gets worn everywhere.
You see my single mum’s journey got complicated here in the UK when my daughter was diagnosed with mental health issues, and then, my life became harder because I had to be the one to deal with it all. Her dad, even today, has not come to grips with it and I think it is either he doesn’t want to deal with it or doesn’t know how to deal with it. So, this meant that I did not just have to carry ALL (Burden), but also, I had a mental health issue added to my pile.
My life became more complicated, and I found myself at the Priory (private mental hospital) a lot for years and also the NHS hospital with my daughter’s mental health challenges.
There were days when she would cry like a baby, and I would have to shush her, sing her lullabies and stroke her face, while I sat there crying inside. Sometimes, in the struggle of it all, I realized that the financial piece of my single-mother journey wasn’t the hardest, it was the emotional aspects that I found most challenging.
This is one of the hardest things because a mother should have the answers to fix her child, be able to give them something to make them feel better and be able to make things better instantly. I was helpless about her problems, and I just had to support her in any way possible and be by her side, which was the best I could do.
Therefore, my single mother journey has impacted me terribly.
My life felt like it consisted of school runs and being a taxi service for activities, my son attended each week. He loved basketball and karate, which he engaged in regularly. On Saturdays, he visited his friends and on Sundays, he played rugby and also attended church with me. Talking about it without tears welling in my eyes was hard. It was hard to say to my son that I had been trying to prevent him from pursuing something he was genuinely passionate about. He actively wanted to try new things and be a part of something and interact with other children. I think that’s the main reason he loved to go to these activities and that made me feel guilty.
I, however, think kids who are exposed to negative parenting are better off in a stable, harmonious one-parent family, more than living in a tumultuous, two-parent family, where kids are exposed to turmoil, arguments, and fits of anger on a regular basis. That was our story, and I didn’t want that for my kids.
Although my ex-husband did not live with us, I hated his presence. Ever since he left, it was the best thing he did because it gave me a chance to parent my children the way I wanted to in a safe environment. So, I want you to pause and imagine you are a single mother who is out there questioning yourself. I want you to stop questioning yourself. If this is where you are right now, give your children what they need and the best of you and make them your priority, it will raise your vibration.
So I say to those who are single mothers, regardless of how you got here, you cannot fix it right now. Where you are is where you can step up to the plate and decide that you are going to be the best version of yourself that you can be, even if you were not parented yourself.
So, single mothers out there I salute you. I’ll say to you, be the best version of yourself you can be regardless of what life has thrown at you. Be kind to yourself. You did the best you could do in all of your circumstances and personally, one lesson I have learned is never to carry guilt and shame and I had to get to a place where I did just that. I left those two things behind me. As a single mother that was hard.
I had two children from different fathers, and I felt ashamed for a very long time. However, I was also given a chance to love them twice as much. To be the best mother I could be. In this state, I learned to listen better to my kids without all the noise and trauma of my ex. Life was more harmonious.
On another positive note, I want to thank my kids for being such amazing children to me, even when I didn’t deserve it, I didn’t deserve their forgiveness or their patience. I love you, and I thank you. I apologize for all those times I didn’t have for you, I didn’t deserve your forgiveness, love or even patience. Thanks for being patient with me.
I’m proud to see the woman and man that you are becoming, and it gives me such joy to see you both prosper despite our circumstances. This piece is dedicated to the single women out there; those who are trying to do this but also to Chardonnay Elizabeth and Mikhel Kai, this is dedicated to you too from my heart. I want to say thank you to the women who showed up in this book. I am going to stand with a van and change the narrative conversation and agenda around a single woman to assure the world that single men don’t have to produce worthless children and we don’t have to be willing. Also, we don’t benefit from the timer and always have to be what society classifies as the less.
The biggest reason for this book is to change the narrative of how single mothers are seen, demonstrating that we can turn out well-measured children who are valuable to the world. I also wanted to have women share their stories to empower others and help them along the way with their own journey
To all the co-authors in this book and all single mamas know that you are amazing, and you make this earthshine brighter. I’m just so delighted that I got to stand beside you at this particular time in my own path.

In the UK, there are more than 1.7 million single mothers while in the US, more than 15 million women are parenting children on their own. This book by 11 single mothers shares a universal and empowering message: You are not alone, single moms―and your wisdom, strength, courage, sacrifices and selfless love are worthy of celebration.

The world tells single mothers that they are destined for poverty, sacrifices, a single life and being broke at retirement. Sometimes the narrative gets even deeper as many voices in our culture imply that children from single-parent homes will often amount to very little if anything at all. Too often these moms who do it all have been misrepresented and maligned.

I had the absolute honour of being on the ‘mastering your craft’ podcast.  where I shared some nuggets.

Read on….Hear the amazing life story of Dr. Ava Eagle Brown on the latest episode of the ‘mastering your craft’ podcast. Ava is a speaker, trainer and woman’s advocate. Amongst other difficulties, Ava was raped in front of her daughter.

The book ‘The Mango Girl’ is based on Ava’s life story with a film also coming our way. She shares numerous key life lessons and gems within the podcast.

I landed on the shores of Northen Ireland and truly was taken aback when I was reminded that I was a black girl in some organsiations and people I encountered.


 


Alas!, for the first time in almost 20 years, I went about my time in Europe forgetting that I was a black girl.


You see living in South London, Croydon to be exact- my colour rarely was featured or an issue in all of my business or social life….


 


So you can appreciate my surprise when I came to NI and it was the first thing I was reminded of on so many occasions in such a short amount of time.


Truthfully, personally, I am such a proud black girl who is confident in who I am that I decided to literally cast that ideology behind me and shine my 100 watts personality, skills, and talents. So far I just do me- the black girl with her dreadlocks, strutting around NI.


 


That said, I am so thrilled to have connected to organsiations such as Acsoni and Queens University Diversity group. They have really helped to welcome me into the community and for the most part most persons haven’t been brave enough to say anything to me, yes they stare and I stare back….and in that stare wish they would even smile like I tend to do, or even come and get to know me. They would realise that I am bold, confident, beautiful inside out, but more so that I am human and my blood s red. 


 


 


If they are lucky they would see that I can swing my hips, cook great food and love to inspire everyone I meet. But if they fail to extend themselves, then all I am left with is that Black is beautiful


 


I enjoyed this launch of black history month at #queensuniversitybelfastalumnioffice and #irisé ..


It focussed on the impact of the ethnic minority in university life and wider Northern Ireland.


Black is beautiful and black is strong. #diversitymatters #northernireland #titanic #belfastcity #blackhistory

I leave you with this:


Black Girls… Naturally resilient! We persevere, stand tall, and fight to the end. We don’t give up! We make moves and succeed. We’re go-getters by nature. We are stronger than most. We are unstoppable! Fearless and confident in our capabilities. WE are Black Girl Strong! #Incomparable”

There is always hope once you keep rising above your situation.
