Uncovering the Diamond Within: An Exclusive Interview with Ebon Brown
Nutritionist. Motivational Speaker. Entrepreneur. Founder of Girlfriends Tribe. Ebon Brown is a woman on a mission to empower others through purpose, faith, and resilience. In this exclusive interview, she shares her journey, insights, and what’s next on her path to building a legacy of impact.
Q: Tell our readers about your origin story and the major accomplishments that have meant the most to you as you've built your brand, business, or career.
My journey began with a deep-rooted passion for helping others and a desire to create meaningful change in the lives of women, families, and communities. As a Nutritionist, Motivational Speaker, and founder of a Women’s Empowerment Tribe, I’ve dedicated my life to guiding women in discovering their purpose, overcoming adversity, and embracing their inner strength.
One of my most significant accomplishments has been founding Girlfriends Tribe, a nonprofit organization that supports women and young girls in transforming life’s challenges into growth opportunities. Hosting events such as Diamond in the Rough, which celebrates faith and resilience, has been particularly powerful. These gatherings are designed to remind women that they are never stuck—they are simply being refined.
Balancing entrepreneurship with motherhood has also been a defining milestone. As the owner of three businesses, I’ve faced challenges and joys alike, but I remain grounded in my faith, focused on impact, and driven by the legacy I’m building for my daughter.
Q: As a subject matter expert, what advice or insights can you share with readers about living a more empowered and purpose-driven life?
Transformation begins from within. Whether you're looking to improve your health, mindset, or purpose, here are a few principles that I live by:
Nourish Your Body and Mind: Wellness starts with what you put into your body and how you care for your mind. Small habits—like choosing whole foods, staying hydrated, and practicing daily affirmations—can lead to profound change.
Embrace the Process: Like diamonds, we are refined under pressure. Life’s trials are often tools for growth, not setbacks.
Find Empowering Community: Community is vital. Surround yourself with people who inspire you and hold you accountable. That’s what Girlfriends Tribe is all about.
Strive for Balance: Especially as women juggling multiple roles, it's essential to rest, set boundaries, and prioritize well-being. You can’t pour from an empty cup.
Q: Where do you see yourself in the next year, and what motivates you to achieve those goals?
Over the next year, I plan to continue building a legacy rooted in empowerment, faith, and impact. This includes expanding my businesses, hosting more Diamond in the Rough events nationwide, and reaching more women through Girlfriends Tribe initiatives.
I’m also focused on growing my nutrition and wellness efforts—developing tools that help families live healthier, more balanced lives. Personally, I’m excited to continue evolving as a mother, embracing every moment with my daughter while staying committed to my mission.
What motivates me is seeing women overcome obstacles and step into their calling. My daughter is a daily reminder of why it’s important to build a strong foundation—not just for her, but for every woman seeking purpose and change.
Q: What are some key lessons you’ve learned that you would pass on to others pursuing their dreams or overcoming setbacks?
Embrace the Process: Challenges shape you into who you're meant to be. There’s a purpose behind every obstacle.
Be Consistent: Success comes from daily, intentional effort. Keep showing up.
Find Your Tribe: Don’t do it alone. Lean on others for support, accountability, and encouragement.
Don’t Fear Starting Over: Sometimes a fresh start is exactly what’s needed to unlock your next level.
Know Your “Why”: Let your deeper purpose fuel your perseverance. For me, it’s my daughter, my faith, and my passion for lifting others.
Celebrate Every Win: Progress, no matter how small, is worth honoring. It builds momentum and gratitude.
Q: How do you unwind and recharge outside of your work?
Spending quality time with my daughter is my greatest source of joy. Whether we're celebrating milestones or simply enjoying each other’s company, those moments are sacred to me.
I also find peace in nature—whether by the water or on an outdoor adventure—and I love to travel. Discovering new places fuels my creativity and sense of growth. Planning empowering events and connecting with women through meaningful conversations is another way I find fulfillment beyond my formal work.
Q: Are there any upcoming events or projects you’d like to share with our readers?
Yes! I’m thrilled to announce the upcoming expansion of Diamond in the Rough into a national movement. In the coming months, we’ll be hosting brunches and events in new cities, all designed to help women recognize their inner strength and divine purpose.
We’re also expanding Girlfriends Tribe with new virtual workshops, mentorship programs, and resources to support women wherever they are on their journey. Additionally, I’m launching wellness-focused content and tools that promote holistic living—mind, body, and spirit.
I invite anyone ready to grow, connect, and shine to join us. This is more than a movement—it’s a calling.
