B.L. Brown is the CEO and Founder of Halo-Orangees', international online job board (halo-orangeesjobs.com). Halo-Orangees’ international job board delivers candidates on time and under budget. Employers can post jobs and search resume database. Jobseekers can post resumes and search jobs for free. The genesis of Halo-Orangees Brand: Helping Advocate Longevity of Organizations by Obtaining Objectives through Redefining Above-Board New Generational Guidelines for Employer Employee Standards was inspired, developed, and birthed from her reaction to an unethical manager with whom she had the pleasure of working for and whose style of supervision made her stronger.

In a one-on-one meeting with this executive director, he made the statement that another employee, who held the same title as B.L. Brown, was better than she was. In response, B.L. Brown informed him that this employee was not better than her nor was she better than the employee. From that one statement, she instantly realized her true purpose in life. "Best negative words spoken into my life thus far" (Excerpt~ B.L. Brown). Reckoning her experience with a newfound belief, the foundation of Halo-Orangees emerged.

In 2012 Author B.L. Brown launched Halo-Orangees/h-connect brand, international online dating website h-connect.net. The h-connect.net brand is empowering, motivating singles to find their best friend in love.

Fun Fact Interview:

1. Why did you start writing?

I have always been a lover of words. One word can impact an entire sentence and stand out in the mind of readers. Words are the essential method of communications amongst human beings. As a child, whenever I felt isolated from the rest of the world, I would write. I had become accustomed to expressing myself by way of pen and paper verses verbal communication.

2. What's your favorite book of all time?

Charlotte's Web

3. Favorite Movie and why?

The Bone Collector is my favorite movie of all times. I enjoy watching mystery movies that keep you speculating until the very end.

4. If your book was made into a movie, who do you seeing being cast for your characters?

Halo-Orangees’ employer-employee “one accord” Volume I One Mind, One Body, One Team movie cast would include:

Jada Pinkett Smith -Role of Employee Strong

Mo'Nique -Role of Ms. New

Angela Basket -Role of Chelsea Courage

Julie Roberts -Role of Suzy T. Harassed

Kathy Bates - Role of Joanna M. Miserable

Ellen Degeneres-Role of Cherrellee GoLucky

Kristen Stewart - Role of Receptionist

Kerry Washington- Role of Joyce Streetlight

Kevin Hart-Role of Melvin Booker

Steve Harvey- Role of Edward Jones

Danny Devito - Role of Mike Small

Denzel Washington - Role of Tommie Joe

This all-star lineup of actors/actresses would be great for the characters in the real life experiences of Halo-Orangees’ book. A talented cast of such as this would make the movie an instant box office hit. Tickets would sell out before the movie release date. Halo-Orangees’ employer-employee “one accord” Volume I One Mind, One Body, One Team confronts the real-life workplace issues occurring in organizations world-wide (negativity, drama, power struggles, backstabbing, friend-family hiring, and endless gossip). There are many relatable real life characters in this book such as, Tammy Poor Leadership, Joanna M. Miserable, and Coffee Pot Manager. Names, dates, places, and incidents in this book have been changed or omitted for a variety of reasons. I will leave it up to you, the reader, to realize what is what, who is who, and where is where.

5. What is your favorite scene from your book, or the scene you most enjoyed writing?

I enjoyed writing Halo-Orangees employer-employee “one accord” Volume I One Mind, One Body, One Team Introduction entitled, “Don’t Allow Anyone to Confine You to a Box, Disabling Your Growth”. You are the only one who defines you, so don’t ever allow anyone to tell you who you are or that you are not good enough (Excerpt~ B.L. Brown).

6. Name one thing readers would be most surprised to learn about you…

My mindset does not comprehend the term “quit”, rather it is fully fluent in successful outcomes. The word “no” has become a massive tool that drives my determination.
