Lauren founded Ride My Road with a plan to heal her broken heart through helping others. After leaving an emotionally abusive relationship in 2015, Lauren took to the road, riding nearly 10,000 miles on her motorcycle across the United States, photographing survivors of human trafficking.

Since then Ride My Road has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for survivor restoration programs with Lauren as the Executive Director.

Lauren has photographed nearly 100 survivors and hosted dozens of events across the US. She has been featured on CNN, and her writing has been published in magazines and books.

Was she able to heal her broken heart through helping others? Well, for that answer you will have to attend one of her presentations!
