Tahiera Monique Brown is the President and CEO of Darkness To Light Films, a Birmingham based Film and Television Production Company. Ms. Brown is also an author, and a inspirational keynote speaker. Her book, Annihilator of Innocence, chronicles a horrific ordeal where Brown, along with her children, was held hostage for two years by a man who, unbeknownst to her, had been stalking her for some time. The choice she made to save her children's lives put her in a coma. When she recovered, she had amnesia, which she still suffers to this day. Ms. Brown performs speaking presentations on behalf of corporations, and also facilitates workshops at K-12 Schools, Colleges and Universities, Men and Women's prisons and correctional facilities. She consults and speaks at law enforcement conferences, domestic violence awareness events, nonprofit organization meeting and events, civic organizations, and churches. She has been featured in many radio, newspaper, and magazine interviews and shows. During the beginning of her career, Tahiera was a television show and radio show host. She served as a Casting Director in Atlanta, Georgia for over 15 years. She was recognized by Filmmakers of Color in Atlanta, Georgia as the top Casting Director among her peers. Brown is a true servant in the community. Mrs. Brown has served as the facilitator of the Birmingham Chapter of Survivors Overcoming Abusive Relationships (S.O.A.R.). She also serves as a member of the Board of Directors of Prescott House, a child advocacy organization that provides services to child victims of physical and sexual abuse, severely neglected children and children who have witnessed a violent crime. She is an active member of the Jefferson County Coordinated Community Response (CCR) against Domestic Violence organization, an avid supporter of the Alabama Coalition Against Domestic Violence (ACADV), as well as the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence (NCADV). Tahiera is the former Treasurer for The Kiwanis Club of the Magic City. She published her book *Annihilator of Innocence* under the Tavine'ra Publishing imprint.
