About Me

My name is Marvelyn Brown and I am a 24-year-old Emmy Award Winning AIDS Activist from Nashville, Tennessee. Marvelyn Brown, a 24-year-old native Tennessean, has moved both live and television audiences around the United States, Canada, Jamaica, Mexico and South Africa with her compelling personal story of being diagnosis with HIV at 19. Now as the CEO of New York based consulting firm, Marvelous Connections, my message is simple, Be Responsible, Get Educated and Get Tested! My highly anticipated autobiography, The Naked Truth: Young, Beautiful and (HIV) Positive, will be published thru Amistad/Harpercollins and IN STORES EVERYWHERE August 19, 2008. .. I have had extensive radio and television experience—some highlights include The Oprah Winfrey Show discussing HIV/AIDS in America, CNN Documentary Black in America hosted by Soledad O’Brien and the rising infection rate among women, America’s Next Top Model, MTV, BET, Showtime, The Tavis Smiley Show, The Michael Baisden and The Tyra Banks Show. In addition, she has been featured in Newsweek, Fortune 500, Ebony, Real Health, HIV Plus and I appeared on the January 2006 cover of POZ, the winter 2006 issue of the AVE and July 2008 issue of A&U Magazine. Yes, I have accomplished so much and I am very proud of it. However, at the end of the day, before lying down to sleep, taking the seven pills reminds me that I am still HIV Positive.For more information about me, my autobiography The Naked Truth: Young, Beautiful and (HIV) Positive will be IN STORES EVERYWHERE AUGUST 19TH but you can pre-order on amazon.com now!!!!!

Show November 23, 2007 Can you tell who is Pos or Not?

I'd like to meet:

I have met a lot of people from Oprah to Magic Johnson but I am still open to meeting new people and making new friends especially those infected with HIV.



Music:

I like all kind of music. But being a COUNTRY GIRL I especially love that down south music and anything with BASS!!! My favorite artists are Alica Keys, Fantasia, John Legend, Lfye Jennings, Luda and Common.

Movies:

Long as the movie has a purpose, I am good. I must admit that I do love all Disney Channel Movies. They are really good. I honestly do not feel bad because there are grown men and women who are reading Harry Potter. Ok, it is different but you get the picture. My favorite movies are, The Parent Trap, A Walk to Remember, Philadephia, Gia, Eye's Bayou, Life Support, Herbie and Cinderella (The one with Brandy and Whitney Houston in it). My new movie to the list is BET's Reflections. Amazing!

Television:

All types of reality TV. College Hill, America's Next Top Models, The Girls Next Door, and basically all reality shows on MTV, all there shows are a BIG HIT! I do not like the Real World because I tried out for it when I was 19 and they told me I was to mature. lol. I took that as a compliment and key to stop watching.

Books:

The Bible, The Naked Truth, and anything HarperCollins put out because they ROCK!!!!!

Heroes:

ASO's = AIDS Service Organizations CBO's = Community Based Organizations The Ryan White Care Act, Phil Wilson, Magic Johnson, Dennis Stokes and Ryan White. BET Rap-It-Up and The (RED) Campaign......and my self.R.I.P. Lynn Chamberlin and all the other fallen soldiers that we have lost to HIV/AIDS.
