Who was LaToya Brown?
Local businesswoman LaToya Brown owns and successfully operates Brown’s Boutique in North County. She frequently lectured to younger generations about her love of fashion and building a successful business.
Brown informed them that although 100 people sell clothing, each store experience is unique. Therefore, every transaction encourages your clients to do all of their shopping with you while they ask about their passion for business.
She was the sweetest person and always showed love. She was extremely knowledgeable about the fashion industry, as well as nice and respectful of everyone.
Her store was definitely well-known in STL. Sending our deepest condolences and prayers to your children, husband, and family during this awful time.
