Eugene Brown speaks nationwide at high schools, colleges, correctional facilities, detention centers, group homes, churches, and anywhere his message of self-empowerment and decision-making through critical thinking can resonate and change lives.

Through the game of chess, Eugene teaches inner-city youth and young adults the hard-earned lesson that shaped his own life:

“Always Think Before You Move.”

This principle has become more than just a saying—it is the foundation of Eugene Brown’s philosophy and way of life.

"Mr. Brown is a great role model for our students.  We have several students that could go down the same path; hopefully they will remember and apply the lessons learned.        

   - Delene Huggins-                                                                   Barium Springs Home for Children

"Mr. Brown, It seems everyone I talk to wants me to express appreciation for your inspiring presentation at our chapel service. Your years of commitment, your depth of love for young people, and your ability to present the subject in such an inspiring way produced a very memorable and enjoyable service. Your story motivated me and many students to look for ways to help others, even if it is in a game! We want to tell you how much we enjoyed "The Life of a King." Having watched your movie, and then seeing you made it come alive for us, showing students that we are able to make a difference no matter what talent we possess."

"The presentation you gave to my juvenile incarcerated youth was impactful. This movie is important to this demographic as well as urban youth in general because it is the Story of Mr. Brown's life as a repentant incarcerated young adult and how he applied the critical thinking skills he learned from the game of chess, while incarcerated, to his real life."
