“Journalist Carmen Brown exemplifies an astute level of writing query, encouraging her readers to ponder common truths and to feel the emotions of those whose stories she so poignantly retells in the written word. Never has one bordered the line between journalistic praise and befriending others so well than she, who when getting to know her interviewees has a knack for conveying what one feels and reality with such a fluid balance in her writing. I highly recommend her as her portfolio speaks volumes of not just her talent, but also her character, too.”
