About

I am Africa Pace Brown, an actress, musician, cultural curator, and legacy bearer with a lifelong connection to jazz, soul, and theater. Born into a family steeped in music and activism, I learned early on the power of performance to tell stories and spark change.

As the daughter of Oscar Brown Jr. and Jean Pace, I have been recognized for early acting achievements, broad musical collaborations, and a commitment to cultural preservation. Through projects like the Oscar Brown Jr. Archive Project and Bootblack Publishing Co., I work to honor legacies while nurturing new artistic voices.
