Bio
Neil Robinson
I had the privilege of running the Relate Trust as CEO for 7 years and can honestly say that they were some of the most impactful, meaningful and purposeful years of my working career. Lauren, the founder of the Relate Trust had such a huge role to play in that. She had the 3 C's in abundence: A courageous, compassionate and creative leader who always drove for excellence and to create impact in the world: if it was making sure we created more jobs for the underprivilged or to donate monies to other charities around the world. Her mission was always to uplift others. An inspiring and generous human being, I would go to war with her!
Kane Kossew
I had the privilege of collaborating with Lauren on various projects, including her amazing work at Relate Bracelets. She is a visionary, and an ideas machine. Her creativity, dedication, and ability to think outside the box have consistently impressed me. She's a valuable asset to any cause and her innovative mindset is going to bring much needed change in South Africa and beyond.
