Sabrina Natasha Browne \u201913\/M.A. \u201916 is a fierce storyteller and PR executive who encourages future generations to step into her shoes as a leader and advocate for underrepresented groups.<\/div><\/div>\n

Sabrina Natasha Browne \u201913\/M.A. \u201916 is a fierce storyteller. Her voice resonates as a successful public relations executive, a champion of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI), an advocate for women and girls, and as an online lifestyle influencer.<\/p>\n

A vice president in the Corporate Affairs Practice at BCW, Browne advises Fortune 500 clients on strategic communications, executive thought leadership, media relations, and DEI. She also serves as the North American Lead for BCW\u2019s African American Employee Resource Group. This year, she was recognized as one of the \u201cTop 100 Women Leaders of New Jersey\u201d by the organization Women We Admire and became a newly appointed co-chair of the Black Voices Affinity Group at the Public Relations Society of America. In 2021, Browne received Crain\u2019s New York Business Notable in Marketing and PR Award.<\/p>\n

She describes her 20,000 follower-strong Instagram page, \u201cThe Taste of S,\u201d<\/a> as an inspirational destination away from stress and the passive fear we experience as a society.<\/p>\n

Browne says she is empowered when using beauty brands by women of color like Pat McGrath, Huda Kattan and Rihanna, buoyed by memories of her mother, a Liberian immigrant.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think there\u2019s a certain childhood nostalgia of \u2026 seeing my mom look and feel her best with products and tools that empower her to do that. \u2026 There was something about when she had that bold red Fashion Fair lip on. Her hair flipped a little more and she had a new pep in her step, and I bring that to myself and my work every day.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Browne\u2019s parents are Wall Street executives who instilled the values of giving back, often spending weekends volunteering in their local community through toy drives, clothing drives and other initiatives. At Seton Hall, Browne gravitated toward the Division of Volunteer Efforts (D.O.V.E.) and supporting the South Orange community during her undergraduate years. She would later secure a Leadership Advisory Board role with the Girl Scouts of Greater New York, where she helps to raise funds for more than 30,000 girls served by the organization. Browne attributes her undergraduate days with D.O.V.E. and parents for instilling her passion to give back, which has now led to Browne addressing period poverty in her local community. To date, Browne has secured more than 6,000 menstrual health products to support the Flow Initiative.<\/p>\n

Beyond her community relations, Browne is also passionate about helping marginalized groups through job recruitment and mentorship to help diversify the public relations industry. With Black representation in the industry being less than 10 percent, Browne strives to dispel misguided notions of what it means to be Black in corporate America and encourages future generations to step into her shoes.<\/p>\n

As Browne reflects on her journey to date, she praises her father, a Belgian immigrant, who had an intuition Seton Hall would change her life \u2014 and it did.<\/p>\n

Today, Browne has learned to embrace transformative experiences of all kinds by turning any fear she might have into faith.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow in my career, when I\u2019m counseling a Fortune 500 client or leading global business pitches, that initial fear that would come \u2014 doesn\u2019t surface anymore. I trust that the moment that I\u2019m in is where I\u2019m supposed to be and what will happen next is what I\u2019m supposed to be doing.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
