Growing up, Lauren Alexis faced many challenges that most kids her age did not. It’s not always easy to be positive, especially when negative things seem to be constantly surrounding us. But for social media influencer, model, and mental health advocate Lauren Alexis, that’s never been an obstacle. Growing up as an only child can be difficult, but imagine having to take care of your younger siblings as well. This was the reality for Lauren Alexis, who at the age of 4, became a single parent to her two younger siblings when her father left the family. Her mother had an erratic way of upbringing the children, often leaving Lauren alone to take care of her younger siblings. The family moved to different cities making it even more difficult for Lauren to find a conducive and familiar environment to grow up in.

Lauren had to deal with mental health problems as a child, which made her feel like she was alone in the world. No one in her family or friends understood her or believed in her choices. However, at the age of 13, Lauren discovered her passion for modeling and was forced to quit because of objections from her family. She was always judged for her choices or for being herself. Lauren was always a creative person. From a young age, she loved to express herself through writing, drawing and singing. However, when she was 16 years old, her confidence was shattered after she was ridiculed by her family and neighbors for choosing to pursue a career as an influencer on the internet. They told her that it was a childish pursuit with no practical use and that she should pursue a more traditional career instead. Lauren was discouraged, but she refused to give up on her dream. She knew that the internet was a place where she could be herself and express herself freely. Despite the setbacks, Lauren's determination to prove everyone wrong drove her to achieve great success as an influencer.
