ABOUT tHE lab

Lauren A. Burke (LAB) is a Forbes 30 under 30 honoree, an Echoing Green and Skadden Fellow, a social change writer and speaker, a former professor and attorney and non profit founder. 

Never one to accept things as they were given  - she held her first protest at the age of eight - Lauren's goal in life is to break as many barriers for as many people as possible. Grounded in social justice theory, informed by communities, and emboldened by the knowledge that change is possible, Lauren believes we each have a unique role to play in creating a more equitable and inclusive humanity and she loves working with people and making connections through her network to make it happen. 

It's time for changing, and saving, the world to become a group project. It's Possible. Let's Do This.
