Our Team

Creatives needs creatives. On my journey Ive found friends who have proudly carried the same burdens, and others who taught me to speak in new mediums across broad spectrums.
The best creative experience happens within community.
I have been grateful to share in this healing,
narrative work with a few special people who have become an amazing team.

Natalie Lauren

CEO + Creative Director
@natalielaurensims

Art is where we wander until our voice finds us. And like all truth, it finds us eventually. Natalie Lauren’s work is the  “Art of Liberation”, through Narrative Therapy.

In the spirit of unrelenting audacity inherited from her hometown, the same womb that birthed Black Wall Street; Natalie Lauren is a multi-sensory storyteller. Music and Image offers us an entrance into empathy. This artistic Empathy not only seeks to listen but to advocate. I have come to create art and sounds that disrupts the silence, to invite people who dance in its darkness, to find the light buried inside. My images and songs are full in the presence of strength and weakness. This is a multi sensory healing experience. One of mind, body, and soul.

My work is Narrative Art Therapy, a safe space for us.
