Browne is the first black woman to write, produce and direct a feature film in Canada.
She spent her formative years in Regent Park, Canada's oldest and largest low-income community.
From that time onward, she has consistently produced heartfelt work that has tackled hard-hitting difficult topics such as poverty and abortion.
She has worked independently and has also done projects with the National Film Board of Canada and the Canadian Broadcast Corporation, OMNI TV and many others.
Most recently, Browne completed Speaking in Tongues: The History of Language, an extensive documentary series that looks at the history of language from prehistoric time to the present day, for which she received the Women's International Film & Television Showcase (WIFTS) Foundation Best Documentary Award 2011.
