Lauren is pursuing her PhD in Black Studies at the University of Texas and when not sobbing in front her open laptop or disassociating to Frasier reruns, she is likely at the Aristocrat Lounge making forced but thoughtful points about Baz Luhrmann's 1999 hit single, "Everybody's Free (To Wear Sunscreen)."
