Marcus “Ran” Brown is the founder of YOUniverse: All Things You, Inc., an organization dedicated to providing integrated support that strengthens mental health, housing stability, and family well-being across Middle Georgia.

With a background in social work and operations leadership, Ran combines strategic oversight with a client-centered approach to service delivery. His experience leading teams and developing programs has shaped a vision focused on sustainable, coordinated solutions rather than fragmented support systems.

Under his leadership, the organization is developing initiatives in emergency housing, therapeutic services, and community partnerships designed to create lasting impact.

Ran holds a bachelor's in psychology, Master of Social Work and is continuing to expand his executive leadership capacity through graduate business education.

“Youniverse exists to center people, their dignity, their growth, and their potential.”
