Mini bio
How it started.
Originally from Atlanta, Lauren moved to Houston in 2015. She launched Searching High With Lo in 2021 after her daughter turned one, looking for a creative outlet during the pandemic. Outings with her husband and friends gave her a starting point: sharing restaurants and bars she enjoyed.
Finding her audience.
The foodie Instagram account grew into a blog and social channels covering Houston food, nightlife and trips beyond the city. In her 2021 SHOUTOUT HTX interview, Lauren described learning to find her niche and post consistently. Her guides covered date nights, birthdays and happy hours.
What matters to Lo.
In her Host City Guide introduction, Lauren says she wants to draw attention to neighborhood staples and small businesses, especially Black-owned businesses. Her recommendations also make room for family outings.
Building a business.
By October 2026, Travel Noire introduced Lauren as a creator with a community of more than 230,000 people and partnerships with Marriott Bonvoy, United Airlines and Coca-Cola. Her session focused on turning an audience into a sustainable creator business.
