Intro
Greetings.
My name is Derrick Brown.
I am a "Standup Storyteller".
I fuse spoken word, rap, traditional oration, teaching and singing into messages of hope, healing, and change.
Today, I may only talk ... and maybe teach.
Here's my story.

I call it "Project Chaos".
It is a story of organized noise.
Work with me, here.
I am a former electrical engineer who has worked on many national defense problems.
During one of my earliest projects, I learned a telecommunications technique that transmitted signals by burying them in atmospheric noise.
In essence, this hid secret information in plain sight - which made it difficult for the enemy to intercept your messages.
This technique is dated, but the metaphor (hiding in plain sight) is right on time.
It is strategic to organize without looking organized ... to instead look scattered and spread ... because we usually appear scattered and spread.
Work with me.

I have returned to classroom teaching in my city's school district.
I have spent the last several years at home raising our daughter.
When she started kindergarten, I went back to full-time work on her schedule.
If all goes well, I will retire when she graduates (in 2031).
The break I took was a sabbatical of choice and convenience.
During that time, I focused on both care and self-care.
I did a lot of writing, recording, producing, and publishing.
I learned better, more sustainable ways of creating change.
I learned that creating change begins with me and the renewing of my mind.

I learned that change then continued with my *persistent* efforts to connect, collect, protect, and project.
About Derrick Brown (Standup Storyteller)
%20IMG_E7946.JPG)
I am Keisha's husband, and Hannah's father.
I am a “standup storyteller.”
I fuse rap, spoken word (poetry), oration (traditional public speaking), singing, and teaching into messages of hope, healing, and change that I write, direct, and produce to help people who help people.
Everything must change - and stay changED.
Tradition begins and ends with change.
Change begins with me and the renewing of my mind ... then continues through efforts to effect small-group discipleship (equipping others to equip others) with audiences that respect and embrace mentoring, mediation, and problem solving as tools of change.
I am the product of my mentoring relationships, peacemaking (and peacekeeping), and problem-solving ability.
My education began when I finished school.
After school, I enrolled in a lifelong curriculum that includes classes in ministry, entrepreneurship, stewardship, literacy, numeracy, language, self-identity, self-expression, and analysis / synthesis.
My projects execute a ministry that has evolved from wisdom earned through lessons learned.
I want to share this wisdom to build teams of "triple threat" fellows - mentors, mediators, and problem solvers.
We will collaborate in simple, powerful ways that allow us to help people who help people.
I now know that power is work done efficiently (with wise and skillful use of resources, interests, communication, and expertise).
