Born in St. Kitts, Browne moved with her family to Regent Park, Canada's oldest and largest low income community in 1970. It was in that Toronto community where the seeds of Browne's filmmaker career were planted. There she participated and then lead the Regent Park Video workshop project and made a number of socially and culturally relevant videos. It was during this time Browne decided to go to film school.

She has worked independently and has also done projects with the National Film Board of Canada (Them that's Not (1993) and the Canadian Broadcast Corporation (Jodie Drake: Blues in My Bread, 1991). Her films have won numerous awards and have been screened and broadcasted internationally.

In 1999 Browne completed the semi autobiographical film "Another Planet", her first dramatic feature film and the first feature film to be directed by a Black woman in Canada.

In 2007 completed "Speaking in Tongues: The History of Language", a ground breaking five part documentary series that looks at the History of Language from prehistoric time to the present day. Noam Chomsky and many other notable linguists are featured in this series.
