OUR STORY

Noble Brown is an African-American Muslim born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. At the age of 17, he was arrested for a robbery-homicide and soon after convicted and sentenced to 25 years to life in an adult prison. While serving 24 and a half years behind bars, he engaged in therapeutic programs that kept him around positive people who refused to let their criminal convictions define them. He has extensive experience working with youth and adults who have been impacted by the criminal justice system. Noble is committed to making an impact in his community by sharing his story of fortitudinous, persistence, and resilience that come with life challenges.

Jessica Brown is an author and speaker who has also helped over a thousand entrepreneurs around the globe use the power of storytelling to grow their businesses and has produced multiple events for the public to share their stories of overcoming adversity. Creating a program for individuals with addiction and incarceration experiences to share their stories from a lens of love and compassion, her work has spread into correctional institutions in Canada. Jessica has been featured on various media platforms for over a decade and has been invited to speak at TEDx, city halls, high schools and universities. Canadian-born and bred, she now resides in New York City.

WE CREATED BEYOND BECAUSE WE KNOW WHAT IT’S LIKE TO BE DEFINED BY A NUMBER AND HAVE A LACK OF SOLID RESOURCES TO GET AHEAD.
