Kyndall Brown shared their story and experiences with us recently and you can find our conversation below.
Kyndall, it’s always a pleasure to learn from you and your journey. Let’s start with a bit of a warmup: What are you being called to do now, that you may have been afraid of before?
I’ve come to realize that I’m being called to fully walk by faith—not by sight. For a long time, I thought I trusted God, but in truth, I still held onto backup plans “just in case.” I didn’t fully trust people, and that lack of trust extended into my spiritual life, too. It was a deep revelation.
Recently, on my spiritual journey, I prayed for financial security. Instead of handing me the answer in the way I expected, God gave me vision—ideas that stirred something in my soul. That’s when I knew: I wasn’t just supposed to wait for provision. I was being called to create it. I’m being led to align with my higher self, to embrace who I truly am without fear.
Ironically, I always dreamed of becoming a doctor. But now, I’ve realized I am still a healer—just in a different form. Through my podcast, dance, poetry, clothing brand, and art, I’m healing in places medicine can’t always reach. I’ve stepped into a role where creative expression becomes a form of therapy—for myself and for others.
So, what I once feared—letting go of control, taking bold steps, fully trusting the divine—is now where I find my greatest strength. I don’t need to see every step ahead. My path is already set. My only job is to walk it.
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
Hi, I’m Kyndall Brown — a creative director, storyteller, and founder of multiple platforms designed to amplify authentic voices and empower the next generation through art and conversation. I’m the mind behind @kyndallsgallery, a creative direction hub where I help bring visions to life through visuals, brand storytelling, and curation. I’m also the founder of @s.o.u.lthebrand, a lifestyle brand centered around purpose, healing, and creativity, and the host of @iamsoultalk_, a podcast that feels like sitting in a beauty salon — real, raw, and reflective.
What makes my journey special is that it’s rooted in resilience. I’m a stroke survivor, a teen mom, and someone who’s faced life head-on — and still chose to build. My experiences taught me that creativity isn’t just an outlet, it’s a calling. I create spaces that feel like home for the misfits, the visionaries, and the ones who don’t always feel seen.
Right now, I’m working on an immersive exhibit that fuses poetry, music, and dance into one powerful experience, set to release July 31, 2026, in my hometown — a love letter to art and the community that raised me. I’m also in production for a short film that’s scheduled to be completed by the end of the year — a visual story that explores emotion, resilience, and truth through a Gen-Z lens.
Everything I do flows from a deep belief in legacy, authenticity, and the power of storytelling — and this is just the beginning
Okay, so here’s a deep one: Who saw you clearly before you could see yourself?
My grandmother, without a doubt. She’s like my best friend — never pressured me to fit into the mold of being a doctor or lawyer. She just wanted me to be comfortable, at peace, and doing something I love. Even when my ideas sounded crazy or the vision wasn’t all the way clear, she listened, supported, reposted, and rooted for me. Through every trial, she’s been that quiet force reminding me that as long as I’m happy, financially secure, and providing for my daughter, I’m doing just fine.
And then there’s my cousin, Kenady — we called her Sunshine, and that’s exactly what she was to me. She was like the big sister I didn’t have growing up, since I’m the oldest out of my siblings. She’s no longer here, but while she was, she constantly reminded me of how special I was — how my creativity showed up in the way I dressed, taught, and carried myself. When I got pregnant, I felt fear, shame, and guilt — but she never looked at me any differently. She made me feel seen and celebrated.
Both of them showed me that there’s beauty in everything — even in the moments I doubted myself most. They saw the light in me before I was ready to own it.
What did suffering teach you that success never could?
Suffering taught me that it’s part of the process — not a punishment. Pain is temporary, but misery is optional. It’s in the suffering that I developed spiritual endurance — the kind of strength you need not just to reach the blessing, but to maintain it.
Success never demanded that kind of depth from me — but suffering did. It exposed what I was really made of. It taught me discipline, patience, and perspective. A lot of times, we pray for big things not realizing how heavy they really are. We ask for love, purpose, platforms — and instead of giving us the finished product, GOD gives us situations to stretch us, grow us, and prepare us.
Suffering made me realize that elevation requires foundation. And I’d rather be built slow and steady than crumble under something I wasn’t ready for
Alright, so if you are open to it, let’s explore some philosophical questions that touch on your values and worldview. What would your closest friends say really matters to you?
They’d say Jesus, family, purpose, people, and peace. My relationship with God is at the center of everything I do. I don’t make a move without consulting Him first. They know I lean on faith not just in the good moments, but especially when things get heavy. Jesus is my foundation — He keeps me grounded, humbled, and aligned.
They’d also say family is everything to me. My daughter is my heart, my motivation, and my biggest reason why. I want to build a life that shows her she can live fully, dream boldly, and love deeply. I carry the words and love of the women who raised me in everything I create.
They’d say I’m driven by purpose, not performance. I care about making real impact whether it’s through storytelling, creating safe spaces for others, or simply showing up with love. I’m the friend who’s going to speak life into you, help you see the beauty in your process, and remind you that you’re not alone.
And lastly, they’d say peace means more to me than popularity. I don’t chase noise I protect my spirit. As long as I’m walking with God, surrounded by love, and living in purpose, I know I’m exactly where I’m supposed to be.
Okay, so before we go, let’s tackle one more area. What will you regret not doing?
I’d regret not taking advantage of the opportunities God placed in front of me — the ones I prayed for, but let fear, doubt, or comfort talk me out of. I’d regret wasting time on things and people that didn’t water me back. Time is something you can’t get back, and I never want to look up and realize I was too distracted, too scared, or too stagnant to live fully.
I’d also regret not betting on myself — not showing up for the girl inside me who’s always had big dreams but needed the discipline to match the vision. If I don’t honor that, I feel like I’d be playing small when I was meant to shift rooms.
