We live in the greatest free enterprise country in the world and it has always been my vision and that of my wife, Mrs. Roshunda Brown, to inspire, motivate and prepare our youth to succeed by learning the very principles that make us a great nation. The Ezell Brown Center for Entrepreneurship is a testament to our dedication to give back to the system that we believe in and have been committed to our whole adult lives. We have been self-employed for over 17 years and have in turn employed many people around the world who continue to demonstrate the effectiveness of entrepreneurial skills by having also become employers in their respective fields. These are the kinds of results that we expect for the Ezell Brown Center for Entrepreneurship and the Interactive Marketing Institute, emphasized Chairman & CEO Brown. 

We recognize the value of Educational Opportunities that focus on the skills needed by our young people to attain their professional aspirations. The opening of the Ezell Brown Center for Entrepreneurship is the culmination of a lifelong dream to share with others what we have learned as entrepreneurs over the past 17 years. We believe our nation to be the greatest free enterprise country in the world and entrepreneurship is the best path for many students to reach their career goals, said Roshunda Brown, Chief Financial Officer, Marketlinkx Direct, Inc. Our family is committed to the purpose of the Center and the Interactive Marketing Institute and expect that it will be the prototype for other facilities that will prepare dedicated students to compete and succeed in the 21st Century digital global economy, added Mrs. Brown. 

Ezell Brown has emerged on the world stage as one of the most successful entrepreneurs of our time. Now as a result of the genius of the establishment of the Ezell Brown Center for Entrepreneurship and the Interactive Marketing Institute within the heart of Morris Brown College in Atlanta, Georgia, thousands of college students and members of the community will have the option to receive the unique state of the art training and employment opportunities offered by the Center and Institute, said Dr. Benjamin Chavis, President, Education Online Services Corp. EOServe Corp. welcomes this decision by Marketlinkx Direct, Inc. as this initiative will help immeasurably with the revitalization of Morris Brown College.

Lewis, who became a world leader in business accomplishment, and I am once again just proud to be a part of a team that will make a difference in the lives of students and aspiring business leaders.
