In September 2018, she established the Female Founder Collective, a network of businesses led by women who invest in women’s financial power, while enabling and empowering female-owned businesses. The organization has grown to over 9,000 members. Today she continues her success as a global brand with a wide range of apparel, handbags, footwear, jewelry, timepieces, eyewear and fragrance.

Twenty years later, Brown reignited her entrepreneurial spirit and launched her new ventures: Jones Road Beauty and Evolution_18.
