When Lauren isn’t designing the ABLE shoes you love, you can find her fiercely standing up for other women and most certainly speaking her mind. But she wasn’t always so honest. She was raised by two moms and her father, and she always hid part of her life to protect her family. Though she is now an open-book, her mama-bear like quality remains. Hear Lauren share how she grew up and why it’s so important to her now to use her voice.

In order to protect the women in this series, some of their names may have been changed.

Women rule our world at ABLE. They are the ones behind the products you wear, the emails you read, and the packages you receive. Our Nashville headquarters is a special place where women overcoming extraordinary circumstances work alongside women whose lives have historically been rooted in privilege. We hope that by sharing and hearing each other’s stories of strength, growth, and everyday heroism, we can empower and inspire ALL women. By hearing stories from widely varying backgrounds, we hope to feel more connected to each other. She is ABLE. We are ABLE. You are ABLE.
