Lauren White

Based in Edmonton, Lauren’s interest in filmmaking began at eight years old when she started making YouTube skits with her stuffed animals, but it wasn’t until she successfully auditioned for the SAKs Channels at age 11 that her passion truly ignited. Three years into her journey on the channels, she transitioned into a leadership role as Creative Director and remained on the channels eight years, the longest of all the channel members. Lauren earned a BFA in Film (Screenwriting) from York University and has worked in production on South Asian Canadian TV productions, corporate promotions, and currently works in marketing and production at Motiversity, a motivational media company and YouTube network. As a keynote speaker, Lauren has also spoken about her experience with social media to tens of thousands of students across Canada, the USA and China. She was the driving force behind uniting the former SAKs creators for There Goes My Childhood.
