Lauren Brown is a Jamaican-American author, artist and entrepreneur best known for her action-adventure novels, the Raif and Rose series. Lauren published her debut novel, Raif and Rose: The Death Letter at the age of twenty.

Brown graduated from George Washington University in the District of Colombia with a bachelor’s degree in business administration, with a focus in Marketing.

Following the completion of her degree, Lauren joined her father in co-founding their family’s artificial intelligence business, Arghon Inc. Brown’s knack for creative thinking and strategy continues to expand Arghon’s ventures.

Equally, Lauren pursues broader projects in publishing, entertainment, and communications. Brown is founder and CEO of the brand development and communications strategy firm, Morris Brown. Brown continues to pioneer new platforms and services in these industries.

Lauren loves the written, musical, and visual arts. In 2018, Lauren released Cold Kingdom, a cinematic alt-pop mini-album, formerly under the stage name, Loren, on all major streaming platforms. Brown went on to perform the album’s debut singles, ‘Cold Kingdom‘ and ‘Crystals’, in venues across New York City, with her band. Brown continues to write and collaborate with artists in her field.

The release of Brown’s second book, Raif and Rose: World on Fire, saw Lauren delve into deeper themes and causes near to her heart. Further, Brown’s inclusion of global concerns, like environmental conservation and preservation, equity, and power, highlight her desire to promote public understanding of key issues facing our world. Brown held a special December launch event for this novel at Sister’s Uptown Bookstore in Harlem, New York. Lauren continues to author new literary works, in fiction and poetry.

Lauren has demonstrated a commitment to positive impact through philanthropic causes. A proponent of philanthropic work, Brown has served her community at the local and international level. Causes she supports include addressing and ending hunger, increasing access to the arts as therapy and expression, environmental conservation and sustainability, and access to quality STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, and math) education for all. Brown’s efforts emphasize participation in one’s community, local and global. Accordingly, Lauren gets involved: volunteering at food pantries in her neighborhood and county, spearheading educational partnerships, and supporting international organizations seeking to break cycles of poverty. Lauren continues to expand her philanthropic efforts, backed by the belief that all people deserve an excellent quality of life.

Lauren resides in New York surrounded by family, friends, and her miniature dachshund, Gus.
