ABOUT
Create Your Own
Welcome home! Legit, I've been waiting for you. Yeah, seriously though. I've cr8ed this website to serve as a hub, a central place if you will, for all those who believe that it is part of their responsibility to cr8 the type of world they desire to live in. Honestly, it's my belief we do this consciously and subconsciously, so we may as well become intentional about it. Although that last statement may read a tad bit philosophical (insert eye-rolling emoji), this website will not be an overt brain massage. Nope, instead, we will cr8 through conversation, self-investment, and community. How? Well, our table to sit and talk about it will be through the CYO Podcast. Our self-development will be through investing in our wellness and thoughtful events, hosted by me, will provide an opportunity for us to cr8 community. Something like a three-point thrust or tri-set approach. Yeah, I'm reaching to sound real... iono lol Seriously though, it's through those three avenues we will get what we want. Yup, I declare we will cr8 what we want. So stop spending too much time on this ABOUT page and check out the rest of the site.
BYE!
Your New Favorite Friend, C’Yo Brown

When in graduate school, C’Yo launched this first web show called the Drop which was an online based talk show that covered pop culture, celebrity news and addressed social concerns for the young working professional. It had a successful start and demonstrated positive growth, however, was dissolved when C’Yo made the decision to leave NCCU.

Soon thereafter, he was introduced to the professional world of fitness and learned to fuse fitness and dance into a profession. He became a certified fitness specialist with niches in dance fitness and weight loss training. His professional experience within fitness spans over a 9 year period and includes national fitness presenter at major fitness conventions, his trademarked fitness program, Urban Cardio Dance, and hosting his own fitness events such as the annual Gobble Wobble (live workout & toy drive).
