@BrownWarrens
. Thanks for all you do!
11/18 I sent an inquiry email. 11/19 I sought out help. 11/20/2020 at 2:30pm I had an interview ➡️ 6:08pm I received the phone call that unlocked my dream job & I accepted. Houston it’s been a heck of a journey ✈️ West Coast I’ll see you soon ✈️ Thanks to every 🔑 person ♥️🔥♥️.
Dec 2020 I had no idea why I felt as if I was being pulled to Portland. I knew no one!
Today May 9, 2024 as I signed the adoption papers for my son the answer came to me. I came for HIM!
What a journey has been. I promise to love you FOREVER baby Trey’Vaughn
Walked through TSA in Austin and the security guard said “I see you a lot where do you go?” I said “I’m at Doctoral student at Baylor and live in OR.” I guess I have a memorable face…1 more ✈️ to go.

👀in the🪞& I was proud of the woman I saw. I normally take peoples words to 🖤, but today I finally didn’t. A lady said with a stunned 👀 “your a principal?” I proudly smiled & said “Yes I AM”. Changing the model for what principals are supposed to 👀 like.

Faith means having the ability to feel God touch your ♥️ & 👂. I made the biggest decision of my life on Friday. Tuesday I landed my next opportunity & I’m excited to start my new adventure in Clear Creek ISD. I was divinely in the right place at the right ⏰ doing what I do best
First year as a principal is in the BAG! What a year 22-23 school year! Our Energy Bus ROLLED on the road of Positivity! I definitely GREW as a leader and person!

The Lord knows the desires of your heart. My desire was to become a mom. He opened the 🚪 for me to become a relative foster parent and I’m in LOVE. 2/14 was the day my world changed & I became this young man’s mom! Our first 11 days has been a blessing. I’m just thankful!
Thank you

I absolutely LOVE lunch duty! I have started a tradition where we celebrate students birthdays in a way that includes all!
This is culture ⬇️ our kids love when Dr. Brown-Warrens gets on the mic!
Last Fri-yay of 2023 was 🔥🔥🔥
To everyone who has reached out to me, tweeted about me, and was inspired by one of my PD! Y’all definitely made me feel like a celebrity. I love sharing my ideas with people who are open to the ideas! 2020-2021 is not ready for US! I’m excited for our STUDENTS 🔥💎🔥
The pathway to leadership has been interesting. Bounced back from 2 No’s & had a tough conversation with Coach
@almadvel
that gave me the 🔥🔥 to regroup, refocus & fix my shoot. Then I hit the game winner with Jackson MS! Hello on 7/1/21 I will be AP T. Brown LET’S GO!
4 years later I’ve been an AP, in my second year as a principal and just became Doctor Brown-Warrens!
Moral of the story time flies so seize every opportunity! You are WORTH IT!
They say “a picture is worth a 1000 words” The intent look on baby bears face let’s you know you enjoyed Dr.

Dear Son we did it! Today I received Trey’s new birth certificate in the mail!

Crossed into the New Mexico border and it has finally hit me my 7 year Houston Journey is over. I’ve had my ups and downs but overall I have had a BLAST‼️ I have no regrets and feel excited to see what my next chapter in Portland has to offer.

Look at his face! He’s gonna love his own room!

This is what the power of collaboration and celebration looks like! As a teacher
@BKRoberson2
believed in my talents and a history collaboration was born with much success I might add. Then he took me under his wing and showed me how to be a better leader. 🔥🔥
Going virtual doesn’t mean our campus routines have to be hauled. It does mean we have to get creative with our 💡’s to keep our school culture spark. Glad I was able to collaborate with Principal

I was hesitate to reread Dare to Lead due to the trauma I experienced with a leader who used this book to weaponize her power. As I’m reading today I pulled out information that I didn’t see then that is NOW being applied. Oh the GROWTH

The sights and sounds of a proud family! It was so amazing to have my mom, son, daughter, siblings, Uncle, nieces, & friends at Baylor or watching online!
I could hear them screaming as I walked the stage! What a MOMENT! Defying the Odds & being the Light was my WHY!
#DONE23
Last night my son & I were stuck on I5 with no food & car started leaking gas. BUT GOD…I saw a pathway off the freeway and took it. His Godmom found us & took us home. My takeaways 1. I love my son. 2. I’m done doubting my own strength & decision making abilities.
GUESS WHAT!! Just got the word DHS has officially made me the designed placement yesterday!!! Today she submitted the financial assistance paperwork. I will hear from a lawyer in 3-4 weeks in order to change his name and etc! He will be adopted before he is 2!
Watching my masterpiece unfold on Twitter I thought I was ready! Then
@TBradleyMurals
handed me my piece and I was BLOWNWAY!!!! It is way better than I could’ve imaged. The details of my tattoos, hair, & SWAG 🔥🔥🔥 Plus it’s almost life size & better than the pic I sent!
S: Principal Brown-Warrens can you come to our last basketball game? M: of course I will be there. S: can you wear some J’s. Me: I got you! Brought out some 2’s. They won 24-2 to stay undefeated. It was such a good game.

Happy 6th year Anniversary of me moving to Houston from Sacramento. This has been an incredible journey from the unknown to finding career I LOVE! I can’t believe how much I have accomplished in this time. Moral of the story never allow fear to stop you.
It’s the last day of Black History Month & the Black Excellence Group asked me to be their featured guest to share my story, answer questions & bring the baby so he could be honored. Needless to say WE HAD A BLAST. Yes, we are matching.

Did you know 15 mins could change a whole kiddos day? Today during lunch I bonded with a student by entering his 🌎 and played a video games 🎮. Yes, I brought my Switch to work. Then I got some work done. Win-win.
The hardest part of coming home is leaving‼️ Anyone who knows me know my ❤️ belongs to my 4 nieces. I work hard to maintain healthy relationships. Distance couldn’t stop my babies from knowing Tauntee is there for them. Baby KenKen and I saying “see you later cause I hate bye”
