The Students Union at UWE | Ripples of Change | Navigating Transformation | Organised by Bethel Ekaette.
Growing up as the only brown kid in Black and white families, Lauren has been navigating the complexity of Identity from as early as she can remember.
Her career started in Brand Strategy, supporting clients around the world. After a decade in the industry, she left her role as Director of Brand and Culture at an award-winning Toronto agency to found SELFHOOD, a learning organization opening up how we think, talk about and experience who we are.
Rooted in neuroscience, psychology, and lived experience, Lauren's work takes a unique approach. She holds several recognized qualifications that include Coaching, Hypnotherapy, Neuro-Linguistic Programming and Group Facilitation. She also leans heavily on the academic and theoretical understandings of Identity, graduating from Harvard University’s Self and Identity course in 2021. She is also the host of the educational podcast Identity Soup. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
