Chief Executive Officer

Kenya Milfort Brown

Kenya Brown, the CEO of Sis, It's Safe, isn't just our leader, she's the spark that ignited our entire mission. A two-time author ("Open" and "Wide Open") and social media maven, Kenya's brilliant vision brought us together.

But Kenya's more than just titles. As a wife, mother of six, and champion for women's issues, Kenya understands the importance of education. She wanted to couple her lived experience with education and is currently pursuing a degree in psychology with a concentration in clinical therapy. She understands firsthand the struggles and triumphs of single moms. Frustrated by the lack of support systems, Kenya's idea to create a safe space for connection became the foundation of Sis, It's Safe.

She's a powerhouse with a heart of gold, dedicated to empowering single moms and building a sisterhood of strength.
