We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Latrashonna Brown. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Latrashonna below.

Latrashonna, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. What were some of the most unexpected problems you’ve faced in your career and how did you resolve those issues?

When I started my platform (Quinese Of Peace) one of the most unexpected issues I had was with my health. I started having heart issues like heart palpitations & shortness of breath. It’s funny because I’m only 24 years old, very healthy, I workout & overall I am Fit. When I started my platform although there was no fruit coming from it yet I still felt complete like I was doing what I was put here to do. I have never had health issues before & we couldn’t find what was causing it either. I believe that once you find your purpose & get serious about it life will throw you every curve ball possible, & since there are not many things that get me scared or off of my square, my health being a problem was one of the biggest hardships I have experienced on this journey. Surprisingly I kept going, it actually made me go harder and put even more faith into God. There would be some nights where I didn’t know if I would wake up the next morning because of how severe my symptoms were. It was all a test, to reveal how serious I was about my personal growth & development because I had to go through major changes before I started & that only increased as I continued. I could of got scared, put it on hold & gave up but I took it & went all in. It made me realize that you have to put in 100 percent rather its life or death. There has been many other hardships as well Financial/Mental/Spiritual and I’ve learned that you have to just keep pressing, keep going & keep pursuing. There has been setbacks where I have had to take a step back from my platform for 30+ days at a time but I always make sure I pick up where I left off because slow progress is better than none at all.

Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers.

Quinese Of Peace is a platform of Wisdom, Motivation, and Positivity. What I do is story tell through poetry & spoken words. There is a lot that comes with making the necessary changes in your life, & because I have experienced going through parts of those changes I have wisdom to give to others about the hardships, discipline, consistency, failures, losses & setbacks that are bound to happen. I also talk about how rewarding it is to make it through all of that. I am still walking this journey myself & I just create as I go. I started writing songs at 8 years old & then I wrote a short book at 12 years old. Writing , creating, & storytelling has always been in me. What sets me apart from others is that I can give my readers/ supporters is my authenticity. I stay true to myself & I try to be lead by God as much as possible. I’m nowhere near perfect but I share what I have. I am a therapist at heart and I carry good listening skills. I’m usually the friend that people come to for advice or just to unload. My intentions are pure & people are safe with me. I am most proud of my growth overall. Starting something you are passionate for or called to truly develops you in every area in life if you allow it. It may feel like everything falls apart at first but that is where you will be tested and I am proud that I am still here moving Foward. My ultimate goal from this platform is to have my own studio production. Company To create plays, films & so much more. I realize that it is all possible as long as you stay true to the journey.

For you, what’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative?

I would say being able to express myself & tell my story or at least my side of the story. Everything I create is always personal to me & my own experiences. That is the main reason I can’t give up, because it’s not just something I’m doing for fun but this is my life, my testimony, & my story all wrapped into creativity. I love that I can share my personal experiences & relate to other people who has experienced the same as me or maybe on the same journey that I am on as well.

Is there mission driving your creative journey?

Quinese of Peace is more than just poetry & spoken words. I am building towards a studio, theater & production company where I will create movies, plays & musicals. QuineseOfPeace will also be a blues/jazz poetry lounge where other poets can showcase their talents. I have a very long way to go, but I have the vision, I see it and I will continue to take one step each day until I get there .
