Lauren Begay (she/they) is Diné and Laguna Pueblo and was raised in Phoenix, Arizona. She moved to Los Angeles in 2018 to pursue filmmaking and still is a freelance filmmaker. She recently has worked with MTV, Vogue, and Visit California - all promoting Indigenous stories with Indigenous crew. Her most recent project was a collaborative promo between her mentee and herself for Prados X Lauren Good Day, which was featured on Vogue for Indigenous People’s Day 2023. Lauren prioritizes Indigenous youth voices in media - specifically working with Outlast Arts and Education, a non-profit that provides film and media arts education to Indigenous and Black youth from rural communities in South Dakota. All of her efforts go towards providing a non-Eurocentric learning environment for Indigenous youth to foster their creativity and see their stories come to life. She is very excited to join the So'oh-Shinálí Sister Project team as the Project Coordinator. She believes in supporting the Indigenous community on multiple levels, from filmmaking to community event programming. She wishes to continue her growth in supporting the local community in all ages and backgrounds.
