Curious about the world around her, Mallory Brown, at the age of 20, strapped on a backpack and set out to discover new people and places. She fell in love with the world. She learned to appreciate different ways of life and was deeply touched by the universality of basic human need.
Ten years later, Brown has become a successful social entrepreneur, worldwide adventure traveler, and humanitarian. She is founder of World Clothes Line— a “buy 1, give 1” apparel company on a mission to clothe the world. Brown is the first brand ambassador for CrowdRise, the largest crowdfunding platform for good. As director of the CrowdRise 24-Hour Impact Project, she runs flash fundraisers that engage donors in full-circle philanthropy. Brown also serves as Director of Communication for global non-profit Chefs4Kids. She creates innovative strategies for giving and transforms the lives of children in need around the world.
Brown has worked on-the-ground in 22 countries, representing dozens of companies and hundreds of generous donors to help thousands in need. Her efforts have been featured by The Today Show, the New York Times, Crain’s Detroit Business, the Huffington Post, and Ambassador Magazine. Brown has attracted corporate sponsorship from organizations such as Ford Motor Company, Zappos, Moosejaw Mountaineering, CreateMyTee, and Meijer. Brown shared her new approach to philanthropy at TEDxDetroit 2015 with a talk titled “How to Save the World Before You’re 30.” She was recently honored by Points of Light, an organization founded by President George H.W. Bush that has since become the world’s largest organization dedicated to volunteer service.
Brown was born and raised in Michigan and currently lives on the edge of Detroit. She believes that direct, personal giving will inspire the next generation to give back. Brown’s unique approach to charity is making a mark in the philanthropic world and proves that each person truly can make a difference.

What do you want people to learn/take away from your presentations? | |
I want people to feel inspired to give back and feel that nothing stands in their way. My presentations are crafted around my personal experiences, as I aim to lead by example. I hope to create a ripple effect throughout the audience so everyone leaves inspired to change the world. | |
What kind of special prep work do you do prior to an event? How do you prepare for your speaking engagements? | |
I like to understand my audience and what might resonate with them. My work is heavy in visuals: photography and videography. I prepare imagery that will engage those watching. I absolutely love Q&A. My goal is to provide answers to what my audience wants to learn! | |
Have you had any particularly memorable speaking engagements / unusual situations arise while on the road? | |
I presented a keynote speech at my alma mater, Albion College in Michigan. Many of my college professors were in the audience, and I chuckled at how the tides had turned: I was now lecturing them! I received a standing ovation at the end of the speech, which was truly an honor. | |
What types of audiences would most benefit from your message? | |
My message is very personal and evokes a lot of self-reflection. The best audiences are ones that are hoping for personal advancement. What cause is important to the man in the front row? How can the woman in row 32 make a difference? Those who are open-minded and self-aware will gain a lot from my presentation. | |
I enjoy helping my audience overcome their fears, find a burst of bravery, and do what they are meant to do! | |
| |
Which of your keynote speaking topics are your favorites and why? | |
What inspired you to start doing speaking engagements? | |
I am continually asked to give career advice to students or meet with new entrepreneurs to share my secrets. I truly enjoy these small, personal meetings and feel a huge satisfaction from inspiring others. Public speaking is a way to spread my philosophy to wider audiences across the globe. | |
How do you keep your audience engaged and actively listening during your keynotes? Do you use case studies, personal stories and/or in your speeches? | |
I present in a casual, relatable tone that immediately relaxes the audience. I tell funny anecdotes from my travels. I also show a 3-minute video and multiple photos to visually engage the audience and break up a completely verbal presentation. So far, I’ve never caught anyone sleeping. ☺ | |
What are some of the successes you've helped clients achieve? | |
I’ve helped many students pursue new careers in philanthropy and encouraged corporate audiences to embrace new ways of thinking. I strive for my audiences to walk away from my presentation feeling one emotion – inspired! |
