She is using that degree today at Steelman Partners where her firm MARQI Branding Studio acts as the branding, storytelling arm for local and international clients. She is a founder and principal of MARQI. Born in an idyllic setting in South Jersey, Lauren moved to Las Vegas, kicking and screaming, in 1997. Leaving life-long friends in the middle of her high school years was not easy. She has finally found Las Vegas to be home. The city is easy, convenient, no snow, and sunny almost every day. But 1 October has made this a more intimate, personal place to live. A close friend had attended the concert and he called immediately as the shooter unleashed his rage. Early in the tragedy when news broadcasts were reporting two deaths, she already knew that he was out of danger. As Lauren monitored news outlets for most of the night, she decided that she would give blood in the morning. When she arrived at the blood bank at 7:00 a.m., the line already wrapped around two thirds of the building. But it was more than just the people who wanted to donate blood that showed the heart of Las Vegas; it was all the additional people who came with water, donuts, coffee, and muffins. The giving was overwhelming. Lauren is currently communicating with the builders of the Healing Gardens in downtown. Driving by as the plans were being executed, Lauren stopped and went to work shoveling, laying tile, and planting trees. When she stated her interest in assisting with the design of a permanent memorial, she was given a napkin to draw her ideas upon as other had done. She needed something larger, maybe a pizza box. Lauren was give a pizza to take home. She drew her initial ideas using the entire box and returned on the day of the dedication with her design. After waiting in line for most of the day, Lauren and most of the others willing donors could not give blood on October 2nd. Steelman Partners will now have blood drives four times per year.

Brown, Pamela Jones OH-03627 2019 June 12 Boyer Early Las Vegas Oral History Project Pamela Jones grew up in Virginia, the daughter of a doctor, without realizing that her upper middle class life was different from most Americans. She loved the woman would performed all tasks in their household and lived-in with the family going home one day per week to care for her own family. She lived a sheltered life never venturing outside the cocoon of her neighborhood, a suburb just outside of Nashville. After high school, Pamela entered Sweet Briar College for women. There she met Joe W. Brown who attended a local all male academy. Pamela and Joe married and moved to Las Vegas, a town's name that her mother refused to acknowledge or speak aloud. Las Vegas made Pamela sad and teaching the 1968 junior high class at her assigned school made her even more unhappy. Then Las Vegas PBS hired her to write about the history of African Americans in the USA. She wrote and documented with pictorial images fifteen 30-minute segments beginning with slavery. The television station sent her and a cameraman to the Library of Congress to learn this history and photograph events documented in the official records of the country. These films and lesson plans were used by Clark County School District to teach history during the reign of the first black superintendent, Dr. Claude Perkins. Pamela learned erroneously that our slavery system allowed the majority of slaves to live a one-to-one existence with a white owner; one white person owning one slave. And she still blames northern carpetbaggers who entered the South at the end of the Civil War for the mess made of the Southern lifestyle. Today, Pamela makes jewelry. Her necklaces are renown, beautiful constructions of rare stones selected in places around the globe.
