She's A Dreamer:: Edgy Girl Rachel Lauren


Happy Monday! Cheri here with our first She's A Dreamer feature. This series allows us to highlight young girls that are really making a difference in doing what they love. The things that allow them to shine out loud and to push forward. Our first feature is a beautiful young lady that I had the privilege of hearing perform a couple of months back at a coffee shop. I was really drawn to her love for music and her beautiful sound. She is definitely a dreamer at heart! We welcome Edgy Girl Rachel Lauren to She Inspires!
