About Lauren Brown:
Lauren Brown is originally from Indianapolis, Indiana who attended Indiana University on a full-ride scholarship where she graduated with a double major in biology and neuroscience. She went on to receive two masters degrees before being accepted into medical school. As a current medical student, 12 days away from finishing her 3rd year, she has a goal of helping others in the exact same way that she was saved, by putting shunts in babies’ brains. She's recently enjoyed coloring in her “me time” while also singing and dancing. After being born with Hydrocephalus, she needed a shunt to allow CSF to travel from the brain. With her first brain surgery at just 3 weeks old she was also diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis as a teenager and ended up having a colectomy done.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
