Lauren Johnson aka Lauren Alyssa; is a 26-year-old creative, entrepreneur with a passion for highlighting, curating, and connecting gems. A desire to share her testimony and become a difference maker led to the start of her blog… “The Gem Within, Inc,” a platform with a mission to connect, inspire, and encourage others to live, and be the light and change we wish to see.
Her natural entrepreneurial spirit and love of community expands outside of the Miami Metro area. Through this blog and her creative community, The Gem Collective, she seeks to create more opportunities for connectivity and respect. With this platform, she hopes to expand on common themes that people—particularly people of color—face by sharing her own personal experiences and musings.
