Sutton-Brown's life and cultural experiences have broadened her perspective on life and social responsibility to her communities.

She has gained higher proficiency in foreign language and she has adapted a greater respect, understanding and appreciation of others. Sutton-Brown believes that her opportunities have been unique and for that she is grateful. It is her belief that global exposure will enhance the lives of others beginning with our youth. Therefore, her goal is to implement global education to our youth at an early age through the release of her children's series: The Adventures of Cree & Scooter.
In the series, Cree is a 6-year old girl. She and her pet chameleon, Scooter, have a very special bond. Scooter is a stuffed animal to others. However, when Cree goes to bed at night, Scooter comes to life and takes her on adventures all over the world - in her dreams! The magical travels of Cree & Scooter will introduce young readers and their parents to some of the many cultures, languages and traditions that Tammy has experienced around the world.
