Mariam is off this week so we wanted to bring back one of our favorite conversations!

Our first ever episode hosted Torey Brown, a Community Organizer at The Black Sheep Agency. The Black Sheep Agency is a brand strategy and creative agency in Houston, TX that specializes in social impact and works with nonprofits, civic entities, and for-profits with an impact-driven focus. Torey was put into her role as Community Organizer based on this mission. With clients like the Harris County Clerk’s Office to the White House, their mission is centered around activating people around things that matter. It’s rare for a marketing agency to have a resident organizer, and Torey’s special interest in bringing a sense of community together, regardless of values or interests, brought to light the opportunity for this differentiator.

Navigating a self-reflective journey in her personal life and in the workplace as a young, Black woman in a predominately white industry, she had a non-traditional path of interning at nonprofits, dropping out of college, and working her way up to her current role at the agency.
