“Dr. Brown has served as my doctoral mentor for over a year now. She is always willing and available to guide and support me in my personal and professional endeavors as a practitioner, counselor, educator, supervisor and researcher. I’m forever grateful for the time, energy and guidance she has given me throughout my doctoral career.”

— Joy Kelly, UNCG Doctoral Student

“Dr. Shanita Brown is beyond phenomenal as a counselor, speaker, and author. She constantly engages her mastery of knowledge around sexual assault, and domestic, sexual, and intimate partner violence to ensure it resonates with the audiences she encounters. Her contributions are always spot on and her engagement on our panel for the film "What's Love Got To Do With It?" were invaluable and connected to our audience of students, staff, and faculty members in ways that challenged the dominant narrative regarding how violence manifests.”

— Dr. Angela Gay, Assistant Director of the Women's Center, NC State University
