Overconsumption has Us in a Death Grip—Here’s How we Can Change the Narrative…
Lauren Bates has a passion for storytelling and authentic connection that she carries with her into every aspect of her life. She believes that compassionate service journalism can be used as, and is, a vehicle to educate and support communities in a way that doesn’t come off as elitist.
She likes to share stories based on facts while also leaving room for conversation and connection. Words matter. As you know, the role of publications has shifted, and readers don’t want to feel like they are being talked at—they wish to share in experiences while being informed.
Her enthusiasm for sustainability, ethics, and community largely stems from over 20 years of progressive experience in the fashion industry.
