I’m Ebony Brown (@fotojunki & @braidingbee), a Bronx born, Westchester, NY local, welcoming your open heart and mind to unite and engage with mine here on my lifestyle blog, allthingsebonybrown. Comprised of select creative endeavors in photography and graphic design, ultimately, I share what many people rather talk about behind closed doors, or not at all, including life lessons learned, human relations, communication and everyday craziness, namely, life!
It’s my hope and deliberate intention that this blog helps to heighten our collective awareness of our thoughts, actions, and the weight of our words, whether they’re muttered in mind, uttered out loud, or even written. Not all of us will hold ourselves accountable for what we say and how we live, but hopefully, more and more of us will, everyday, one post at a time, going forward. I think I’ll always be on a mission to get closer to the best possible version of myself, and be of help and service to others in the process. This blog documents my journey.
Could we judge less and embrace more? Let’s Progress. Work. Connect. Share. Value. Thoughts. Challenges. Triumphs. Epiphanies. And NO, its not too late, you’re just in time for what is necessary, so be open to it. Are you ready? Life is more beautiful than it is awful. Silence and solitude is good until its not. Reach Out. Express. Feel. Release. Give. Add value. I help in whatever ways that my talents lend itself. Wherever I am, I’m probably feeling eternally grateful or on the hunt for the next best “make your soul smile” kind of pizza place. Life is good even when its not, because the worst is not having one (for the most part). And of all places that you could be, you’re here, on this page with me, and for that, I am thankful.
Welcome!
Make yourself at home.
