Life, Values & Legacy: Our Chat with Egypt Brown of Los Angeles

Egypt Brown shared their story and experiences with us recently and you can find our conversation below.

Egypt, it’s always a pleasure to learn from you and your journey. Let’s start with a bit of a warmup: What is something outside of work that is bringing you joy lately?
Outside of work and school, going to church and the gym has been bringing me joy. Strengthening my relationship with GOD, eating healthy, & reaching my fitness goals. I’ve lost close to 40lbs this yr. Growing mentally, physically, & spiritually brings me joy.

Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
My name is Egypt, and I am a luxury picnic curator that elevates outdoor experiences with style, intention, and unforgettable details. My brand was created to bring a luxury vibe to celebrations held in beautiful open-air settings. From intimate moments to milestone events, I specialize in curating experiences that feel both elegant and personal.

My services are perfect for birthdays, anniversaries, proposals, and baby showers, each designed to reflect my clients vision while maintaining a signature luxury aesthetic. I offer unique add-ons such as cabana and bubble tents, interactive games, sip n’ paint experiences, and a modern photo booth to create moments that are as fun as they are memorable.

At the time, I started this business with one of my BFF’s during the height of COVID-19, when safe, outdoor gatherings became essential and I haven’t stopped since. What began as a “side hustle” has grown into a passion-driven brand focused on celebration, connection, and one of a kind experiences.

Alongside entrepreneurship, I am currently in my senior year at Charles R. Drew School of Medicine and Science. Balancing academics and business has strengthened my commitment to excellence.

My goal is simple, I’ll turn any outdoor space into a luxury experience you’ll never forget!

Appreciate your sharing that. Let’s talk about your life, growing up and some of topics and learnings around that. What relationship most shaped how you see yourself?
The relationship that has most shaped how I see myself is the one I have with my mom. From my adolescent years into adulthood, she has consistently shown me unconditional love and support. She has poured into me emotionally, lifted me during my lowest moments, and encouraged me to believe in myself even when I doubted my own abilities. She constantly reminds me that I’ll reach all of my goals as long as I keep God first and stay focused.

Because of her, I see myself as capable, resilient, and worthy of success, even when challenges arise. Whenever I struggle with self-doubt or negative thoughts, my mom reminds me to stay positive and to have faith. Through both her words and actions, she has taught me the importance of strength and perseverance. Growing up, I never heard my mom complain, even in difficult situations, which showed me how to face obstacles with grace and determination.

What have been the defining wounds of your life—and how have you healed them?
Some of the defining wounds of my life come the from loss of my step-father, dad and best friend. The kind of loss that reshapes you permanently. I’ve learned how to carry pain while still moving forward. I haven’t fully healed from these experiences, but I have learned how to live with them and grow through them.

My dad had dreams for me in the medical field, goals that I have already accomplished, and I am now continuing that journey by working toward another degree. Carrying those expectations taught me discipline and purpose, but also how to define success for myself. Losing my best friend 4 yrs ago deeply changed me, but I carry his memory with me in how I live my life and strive to honor him through my actions.

Healing, for me, has looked like perspective and intention. I remind myself to make every opportunity count, because not everyone is given the chances I have been afforded. I choose to live with a mindset of elevation, always improving because when I elevate myself, I am able to impact my social circle as well. Through these experiences, I have learned resilience, gratitude, and the importance of continuing forward even when healing is ongoing. I carry their love with me everyday. They are still apart of who I am.

Sure, so let’s go deeper into your values and how you think. What would your closest friends say really matters to you?
Character and morals matter deeply to me. My closest friends would say that consistency and showing up for one another are very important in my relationships. Just as I make an effort to be present and supportive for them, it matters to me that they do the same. We all have our own lives and problems, but I value relationships built on mutual respect, reliability, and supportive energy.

Okay, so before we go, let’s tackle one more area. If you knew you had 10 years left, what would you stop doing immediately?
I would stop allowing doubt to have any power over my decisions. Doubt is paralyzing and deeply tied to fear, and fear keeps you standing still. Standing still means you aren’t trying, and not trying means you’re giving up. You only fail when you give up. If I knew my time was limited, I would choose action over hesitation every time.
