We had the good fortune of connecting with Kamri Brown and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Kamri, we’d love to hear about how you approach risk and risk-taking
If you have something that you want to do, but when you think about it you get nervous and afraid. That feeling you get is often the sign you need to take the leap of faith and do it. The worst thing that can happen is you can fail, but failure is too often looked at negatively. I’ve failed more time than I can count in my life and every single time I have either learned something or my failure simply shifted my path in a different direction. To me, that’s not a failure at all. Your gut is telling you to take the risk and you’ve gotta trust it.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
I currently work in Sales for the Dallas Mavericks. I have never been more proud to be apart of an organization. I fight for equality because I feel as though there is no other option. Fortunately, I’m apart of an organization that believes the same thing. Everything that the Mavericks and all of the NBA are doing only inspires me to do even more. I’ve had the opportunity to not only work in sports but also be apart of something that’s bigger than basketball.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
The first thing that I do is go to Off The Hook which is located in Spring, TX. They have the best seafood in Houston!

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
Shoutout to Jessica Alexander for not only being my best friend, but also my business partner. We’re constantly looking for ways to be able to impact the community and give back in anyway we can. I wouldn’t have been able to execute anything that we’ve done without her.
